    Lightbulb Stating A Price

    Hey guys,

    When we started the message board there was a protocol of STATING A PRICE in both the PARTS and CAR classifieds…

    The Registry will soon issue some GENERAL RULES FOR POSTING ON THIS MESSAGE BOARD
    … and it's about damn time YA'THINK !!!!!...

    We will post these soon so hopefully this 'second job' of mine might get a little easier…..

    Until then:

    No more; 'What's it worth / Give me an offer / What's the best you can do'... OK

    Let's please include a STATED PRICE for both parts and cars like we started a long time ago…

    Cheers

    But after that moment you are on your own and nobody owes you a damn thing.

    I support Chuck's decision. Classifieds price needs to be stated (adding OBO will still allow for upward negotiation), otherwise it's an auction which may or may not close.

    What's also gotten ridiculous is the amount of members in denial of current prices who are all too willing to offer their 2 cents.

    It's not wanted, needed and does nothing for the integrity of this board.

    Since we are going 'old school' as I interpret it from Chucks comments on how "When we started the message board", let's really clean it up.

    Back when a classified ad was a classified ad, you couldn't post your silly comments or interpretation of the buyers asking price.

    Doesn't it make sense to close the classifieds to message posting? Isn't that what the PM is for?

    I have never had any smart guy PM me "does the whole car come with it for that price". No, they like to keep that stuff for the crowd they are trying to impress.

    It's annoying, juvenile and uneducated muck.
    I will post prices from now on, as I respect authority, but I hope more thought has gone into why prices have been starting to be with held in the first place.
    Sincerely,
    Derek

    A big plus 1 also Chuck.

    It's about respect for both buyer and seller to each other.

    Most here know what things are worth and trying to squeeze that last dollar or euro out of fellow members by pitting one against another should be done elswhere. IMHO.

    As for Car-rera's comment.
    I think if the seller notes that interested parties should PM or e-mail that will keep comments to a minimum.
    The real PITA's , well there will allways be a few and you need to develope a thicker skin.

    Tom I need to be ridiculed. That's what I deserve for depending on secretaries to correct my increasingly incorrect spelling, etc. over a 15 year period. Right before retirement it had gotten so bad I couldn't even figure out what I had written!
