Hello Everyone,
Whats going on everyone?
I'm not creating this forum to bash anyone - just to try and raise the standard of selling parts.
Here is my biggest complaint!!!
If you tell a buyer that your gonna sale them a part - then don't sale the part to someone else before the buy gets there to pick up the part.
Here is where honest buyers and sellers prove there "Word is there Word"
Nobody stands behind there word anymore... We sale our word for an extra $5,$20,$50 dollars and I personal think its crazy.
Now comes the example: (I'm using you as an example but I'm trying to use it as a point for us all to grow - not to put you on BLAST {1pointsix} - I have been there too where I needed the money and I sold a part to someone else before the other guy arrived)
I have been talking with 1pointsix for 2 days about getting his 17" rims...
He had them posted for $320 + steelies
I IM'ed him to see if he would take lower price. We ended up aggreeing on $260.00 + my steelies.
First day I was cool to meet but he had to reschedule due to family issue (completely understandable)
Second day - we were going to meet on my lunch - so i went to his apt. and but didn't have enough time to swap out the rims ( Another issue - Fella's don't post false stats about what you have (i.e., Tires have 75% all the way around - The rear tires had about 80% actually but the front had about 30% on both tires - thats another issue though!!)
I left his house on my lunch break at 2:50 pm We agreed to meet back up when I get off at 5:00 pm to finish the transaction (2 HOURS!!!) and he agreed to it.
I called him back at 5:00 on the dot and he said that he had another buyer gong to get the rims for $300 and he was on his way to get them.
I know that this is a money game but I was a little heated because I've been by his apt and seen the wheels and meet him face to face and we agreed on this and he still sold the wheels to someone else for an extra $40.00 - Had he told me that and then offered me an option to just pay the $40.00 dollar more then it would of atleast been polite. I would of just paid the extra money and took them myself. But to just sale them to someone else and not call the person you verbally sold them to 2 hours earlier is not being honest.
I know there are exceptions to this rule and all in all - He is a really respectful and nice person (like i said, not doing this to argue with him - just think that if we are a family(maybe thats stretching it. Haha!!!!) here on IA then we should atleast be polite to each other.
But back to the exception: I know there are people here that say there on there way and they never show up, or the keep going back and forward, FORGET THOSE PEOPLE - WE ARE HERE TO MAKE MONEY!!!!!
I'm talking about the guy that says hey man I'm on my way to get the part right now.. IS IT SOLD???
Here is another example of a transaction going down tonight with myself and another AI member.
The guy im's me on Tuesday and tells me that he def. wants the parts and Please don't sale to anyone else. I told him that I have one guy that said he was going to pick up the part today but if he doesn't then I'll hold it for you.
I have had 3 other - different opportunities to sale this part but its more important for me to keep my word then to sale the part and cash in on it today.. (and trust me i know that this issue sometimes blows up in your face too)
But if you tell someone that you will hold a part for them then simply "HOLD THE PART"
You don't have to hold it - just tell them that I need the money and its first come first server and that will make me respect you as a seller.
Back to the #1 thing that adds to or subtracts from a relationship

Peace,
