Default You know what I F*ckin' Hate.........

I hate that us racers have to spend our hard earned money on parts to do what we do, then when it comes time to sell the parts you get these total assh*les wasting your time, lowballing your prices to the point that it's insulting.
You know your gonna take a loss whenever you sell a part, that's a given and we all know that going in, I'm talkin' about idiots trolling the boards, guys that aren't even racers, looking for parts they may not even neccessarily need at the time, making ridiculous offers, insulting offers, just lowballing you to see if you'll go for it. Assh*les.

That's why you see "serious inquires only" on certain for sale threads etc. Because racers are f*ckin' sick of these morons.

Ok, I'm done........

Sadly enough, the same people who bitch about people low balling them, are normaly the ones who lowball the hell out of people when its time for them to shell out cash.

This isnt directed at the OP btw.

^^^^^
I'm not talkin' about "negotiating", everyone including myself does that.
I'm talkin' about down right insulting unreasonable offers.
There's defiantely an etiquitte that should always be followed, especially between racers.

You have to expect that when posting anything for sale on the internet. You can't get insulted every time, its not worth it, just ignore them.

12 bolt reared rated to 1,200 RWHP...no noise, no breakage just pure heaven.
You = "ummm it shattered with 550 rwhp and a 1.9 60 foot"
Them = "sorry you took it to the track"
Yea because we all buy 1,200 rwhp rated 12 bolts to drive to Stop n Shop.

hahahahahahahh

Ohhh you have a 16,000.00 car with 20,000.00 in mods? I'll give you 14,000.00 for it but if you didn't do a damn thing to the 16,000.00 car I would of gave you 15,000.00.

Cars are a money pit, you gotta love what your doing and want to be buried in the damn thing.

I can even deal with some lowball offers, hey yes it doesn't hurt to ask. But ask it up front, don't waste my friggin time to the extent that it's annoying then lowball a guy. I just had this jerk off pm me back and forth about a friggin' tb, how much with sensors, shipping, paypal, without sensors, upside down, backwards etc etc etc, thinks he's smart then offers a price much lower than I'm asking (after all the nonsense) wants the sensors for free (brand new almost $100 worth) and expects me to pay shipping and paypal too. I say no and he says ok not interested "good luck with sale".
Good luck with sale?? now he's a good guy? JERKOFF!!!!!!!
