I didn't start this thread to pick on anybody.I just want everyone to be careful and not get ripped off.Parts are hard to find,and we all can get carried away buying from an untrustworthy person out of despewration for that one part we've always been looking for.So,for you newbies,no offense to anyone,just make sure you describe the item as it is,pics if possible,give your location and the location of said parts (my friend in buttville has a ploknart for sell and I'm trying to help him out.......),payment method,etc.I just want everyone to be safe.

...I'm all about folks coming here letting us know about a Cougar for sale. I also feel that sellers should be able to ask whatever price they want. If you really want to sell it, the asking price will reflect. If you aren't under pressure, and just feel like casting the rod to wait for a better offer, than that's your choice. (Hell, there was, and still may be, a Blue Max with 150K miles for sale for at least a year in Arizona for somewhere around $11000. I think we already have a way to call out the really absurd prices though in rule #9.)

However, if you are putting a car up for sale, expect questions...

Look at the thread date first then look at the ad:

[sarcasm]Shockingly, it's still for sale.[/sarcasm]

Thunder Chicken,

I wouldnt have so much of a problem, because yes you got a point its hard to find cars/parts like ours. BUT i would be okay if they would provide detailed descriptions and PHOTOS.

as ChuckW said,

lazy sellers suck. maybe they have a good item thats actually worth their asking price! but we'll never know for sure if they wont let us see it....

I find it hard to trust someone who joins a forum for the sole purpose of selling a "whatever".I feel like someone is trying to take my money then disappear.Paranoid?Proabably a little.

I am kinda that way on turboford, corral, carbdford and stangnet. I just go there mainly to buy and sell. Most of the threads I have no interest in, or I have nothing to contribute so I pretty much have posts only in the For Sale forums. You just got to be careful... that's what the feedback forum is for.

We all should use the feedback forum more often,make a habit out of it when we buy and sell.

I've only bought items on here 3 times and have used it twice.....First time there was no section yet.....
BTW Vin, I checked on that shifter surround for the floor shifter. What was left in the backseat of the car was about 1/3 of the piece. I figured you didn't want it. I'll keep my eyes peeled though.....

Hello Vinny,

I noticed this a few times, BUT it's not an invasion of sellers on the board, it's not a great thing I guess...

Same for some guy's post a question on a topic, and once replyed correctly You never see again...

I noticed what do You say, but I have a lot of things to do before check this, and maybe, some great deals no?...

Have a nice Day!,

You don't lose money asking tech questions.One of our members lost $500.00.That's serious money.Selling and asking info about the cars are two different worlds.Not everyone that is new and selling parts is out to scam someone.There are a lot of decent,honost people.There are also a lot of people wanting to sell a couple of cheap items to look honost,then,sell something expensive,grab the money and run.Like I said,we have to look out for each other,ask a lot of questions,and get all the info we can when buying.If someone is an honost seller,they won't mind answering any questions thrown at them.We need a way to contact them if asked,a location of seller,and said parts,and pics if possible.

I don't mix up exchange of info's and material things, I'm not stupid, but if You pay attention from what You're buying, and WHERE You buy from, ??????????, It's a guess, but is the same way when You purchase from a new user on ebay...

I lost 350$ last year on ebay from a guy here since 2002, and it suddenly dissapeared, never see My money, I tried ebay or paypal, and f**k off!, I lost 350$ that's it...

It's not a normal thing, but it's life maybe...

Best regards,
