Al Massey Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 but why not try to make the most amount of money? Personally I don't really see the problem. thats the problem with the world, all everyone wants to is make money and screw the next guy over whats wrong with trying to help other people out especially club members?

gaz1 Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 thats the problem with the world, all everyone wants to is make money and screw the next guy over whats wrong with trying to help other people out especially club members? maybe because club members have tried to screw club members:) its a great club but not everyone is as white as white;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n boost Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Don't bother me either. I use offers through pm because most the stuff i was selling did not know what it was worth. Also if someone offers u something silly then it is dealt with through pm's and not for everyone to view. I would also like to add that when people make offers on the thread itself they can take the pi$$, like £1 and simply would not bother by pm. At the end of the day it is the seller's right and if u don't like it then don't offer, but in most cases people will still offer if genuinely interested. And it is not always about making money as some of the stuff i have sold have virtually given away to first offer i.e if an item is worth £80 and someone offered £50.

jamesmark Posted February 29, 2008 Author Share Posted February 29, 2008 Don't bother me either. I use offers through pm because most the stuff i was selling did not know what it was worth. Most stuff has been sold before on here, some special stuff then maybe offers is the best route. It is just lazyness to do some research imho. And it is not always about making money as some of the stuff i have sold have virtually given away to first offer i.e if an item is worth £80 and someone offered £50. If you knew that this item was worth £80 why did you put offers? Was it purely to see if you could make more money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
and1c Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I agree - I just bid a ridiculously low offer and wait for them to make the next move lol!! Good strategy mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is just lazyness to do some research imho. If you knew that this item was worth £80 why did you put offers? Was it purely to see if you could make more money? ok my gearbox, not working no 4th gear, i thought ok a second hand one in good nick would be about 1k, i could not find one less than 1500, to recondition mine i was qouted between 250 + parts to 1850 + parts, so i bought a new one, i thought its got to be worth a couple of hundred at least, then i got a few pms asking if they could have the old box for various purposes, so i decided on offers and got what i thought was a good price:search: i would never try to rip anyone off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n boost Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Most stuff has been sold before on here, some special stuff then maybe offers is the best route. It is just lazyness to do some research imho. So why should the seller have to do the hard work? If i have 30 items for sale then i don't have the time to check all prices i.e like when i stripped my car. If you knew that this item was worth £80 why did you put offers? Was it purely to see if you could make more money? It is not rocket science mate, if it is worth £80 and sold for £50 what part of that was to make more money. Like i said before if someone don't like the way a seller is selling then simply don't buy from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has nothing to do with making more money but more as to what u consider reasonable or for a quick sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n boost Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Re read my post then re read what you have written. I said if you knew it was worth £80 to begin with, why ( Because as i mentioned earlier that if you were after a quick sale then knowing if the item is worth £80 you would let it go to first reasonable offer i.e £50. This thread is becoming pointless know. And TBH no one needs to explian why and how they have put something up for sale. Everyone will disagree with some things in life and obviously this bothers u which is your opinion which you are entitled to, just as the seller is entitled to advertise how they please.

Ian R Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I think offers in the region of are okay. But for bids by PM that whats ebay is for. But saying that I never submit offers so doesn't bother me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Problem is I as a buyer would never submit an offer for fear of A it being too low and insulting the person selling or B being too high and losing me arm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
