    Default Why are there certain people who always have something for sale?

    I understand the whole car flipping thing because Dan used to do it. But some people always have random shit for sale....even lots of "new in the box" stuff. How do you get 3 or 4 of an item "new in the box" perpetually? Car parts, too. How do you have parts from 50 different cars for sale AT ALL TIMES? I'm not going to say any names, but I just feel like some of them are thiefs. I notice that those poeple run in packs, too. Like if one of them get - feedback, they all jump in with stories that don't make sense on why the person didn't get their parts. "I bought this for him, so I know it wasn't stolen...." (If you bought it for him, why is HE selling it?). I know this is random and general, but it's just been getting on my nerves. I read the for sale section a lot but I don't post unless I have experience with like how UPS works or something. I just don't get a good feeling from some of them in there.

    How do you think. It's very obvious how they do that. Everytime I try to end that shit here, I get my FS mod rights taken away. Later, QD.

    I know what you mean.. Theres a guy at work thats pretty much redneck as they come. Has a 88 mustang gt with 3 different colors on it. He heard that I had that sr20 240.. He said "I've got a IC hotpipe for it. I also have a greddy type s bov that comes with it" I asked him how he got it... he's like.. I buy and sell a lot of stuff. Always has stereo equipment. I think he knows people who "acquires" parts and they give them to him. He told me he had a carbon fiber VIS hood for the s2k one day too.. I'm really clueless how his hick ass gets these parts.

    i think its just a simple case of capitalism

    buy low sell high

    haha only thing is that they aren't "sponsors" per se.


    Cant complain that just means that theres more of a market for the rest of us.

    I'm not worried about them being a sponsor. (I'm not just talking about car parts. The same people sell other things). I'm saying that some poeple have things like "new laptop" for sale and then the next day they have used parts for sale for a honda, mercedes and a 240 in their sig. I don't think it's wholesale accounts. You have to have a business license and tax ID for that stuff. Most places actually check up on what type of business you have also. Like I can't just go and get an account to buy brand new cell phones. I own a car shop and my business license says it. My Tax ID says what I sell.

    Either way, it's shady. I feel it in my heart that some people on here are thiefs. I hope they go down. It a whole ring of them that are banded together and you can tell when one of them get called out on a bad sale.

    the parts could be "hot".

    especially when it's a bunch of random shit for every car made.
    i used to be a thief when i was younger....but a run in with the cops changed a lot of that for me.

    That's what I'm getting at boo.

    Tons of random parts for sale.....give me a break. If you look at some people's post history 90% of it is for sale shit...all random stuff. Look I have the means to sell lots of random stuff. I own a car shop. You rarely see me with a for sale thread. Just something to think about.

    Negative. The main reason your mod rights got removed was because you sometimes talk to much B.S. And get on newer people until you run them off..
    Not everyone that was selling stuff on there is a thief and sometimes you never cut the real honest sellers some slack.
    I understand there were rules.. But man, you kept taking so seriously sometimes .. it got annoying.
    + We would get between 10 to 20 emails combined or more a week about you...

    That was the real reason

    hell I wanna know too....

    but I've noticed a few folks in the FS thread more so the Garage sale that have many new items or just quantity of specific items for sale..

    all the items I sell personally are legit and like Julio said I hustle by legitimate means. I just have a lot of good friends that want me to sell their stuff for them like the FS threads I have..

    I have connections in various items but I won't sell them until I feel it is appropriate to pay for a site sponsorship

    I do notice that too. People just go so manythings to sell.

    I'm usually watch for deals on FW and stuffs and try to buy couple of them at a times. Then resale them for a lil bit higher (while still cheaper). But I can't do that everyday because hot deals and price mistakes don't happeny that frequently.
