jamesmark Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Ok another pointless thread/poll since there is a lot of the going about. Just something that I would like to see what other people thought about it............... Offers by PM or just offers in general This just gets right on my tits, I mean then we have to PM like an idiot not know what to offer,s fair enough an exspensive item and highest bidder etc, but more and more items are going up for offers and the caption "I don't know how much this is so offers" I mean most people that have sold are long time members that have been on here and seen the forsale threads so they must have a fair idea on whats its worth.

RedM Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 This grates on my nerves too. On one hand it's like "oh, I'm offering it out to the Supra community" and on the other it's like "..but I don't want to make too little money out of it".

Homer Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 It annoys me too, but I can see it working both ways. Sometimes a seller may not have a clue what an items worth so just put 'offers' rather than researching the real value. Its a buyers market here for parts so the prerogative is mostly going to be on the buyer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarkey Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 I think it's the seller's right to do whatever they want. I tend to use that on some items because: a) I've no idea what the value of the item is b) I want to get the most cash - just the same as a buyer - that ideally wants to pay the least. If the item - is something .. that I don't value ..then I'll more than likely give it away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesmark Posted September 18, 2006 Author Share Posted September 18, 2006 Ok so 18 votes and only 1 person has chosen i love MKivsupra.net, agree when people have absolutely no clue on value but we slay people (well used too) for not using the search function why is researching a price any different? there is arguements on both sides Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pabs Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 IMHO I think that there should be an "offers around" kinda mark - that way you know what ball-park the seller is in. If you just say "offers", you end up with the majority of threads or PM's something like the following: Bidder #1 : I'll give you 50p Seller's insulted and comments Bidder #2: I'll give you 51p then .... ...... And so on. If i want to buy something, I'd like to know the ROUGH price before negociating otherwise the whole process can take ages. Eventually you'll ask the seller via PM anyway, what kinda figure we talking? And then rather than add the figure on the post initially, the seller then goes and tells various interested parties via PM anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pabs Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 oh, and edit: I also love mkivsupra.net - regardless of these niggling issues that all forums/clubs go through! hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkirby Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 I only tend to put offers when i either dont know what to ask or if i'm not really bothered how much i get so once i get an offer i will accept it to fellow members Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraAyf Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 If I was selling something then I would bang on a fair price and the first one that puts the offer in would get it!! I've even given stuff away on this forum (included the postage as well) in the interests of club camaraderie but some people just try and get as much as they can get! I'm not saying that things should be next to free but there is only 5,500 of us from a 61 million population. I'm certain we can look after each other IMHO!!

SuperSupra Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 It certainly doesn't annoy me. I think sometimes people do take the mick a little with certain items, but I wouldn't say it annoys me. If I want to buy something I will generally know the approximate value of the said item so will offer around that sort of figure to the seller. I say it's up to the seller what they want to say, after all, you don't have to out a price when you sell something on Ebay. I know it's not strictly an auction, but why not try to make the most amount of money? Personally I don't really see the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
