i couldnt agree more, i'm selling an integra shifter linkage, with shifter, 20 bucks, this guy keeps saying he wants it, and he lives out oakville way, i told him i'd be in mississauga, call me at this time if u want it and i can meet somewhere on my way home, then they dont call untill 2 hours later when i'm 2 seconds from pulling in my driveway and they still have the nerve to ask me to deliver, or to say next time ur out here, please drop it off, well u know what, i drive to pick all my **** up, u can drive the 30 - 40 mins down here and get it, 20 bucks isnt worth my time. people like that **** me off, u want me to deliver, theres gonna be a delivery fee

i've had this happen to me on another forum... i paid $315 for something i never got. i did get my money back, but not until 4 months later! i consider it a lesson learned. who in the hell accepts money for something that they have no intentions of shipping? i've bought a lot of stuff online and i've had good luck so far but then again, i try to take a close look at who i am buying from before i dish out the money.

pink v3 for $300 and another V3. Maybe someone should email him/her and let them know you can buy a PINK v3 from Rogers now.

I already got one for my wife a couple weeks ago.

This possible.
Thanks

so wouldnt that apply for alot of these "jdm" painted parts and cars on the road aswell?

but ya, some sellers are stupid asking 525 bucks for a part thats 550 new. meh, ignorance.

i know ebay has gotten CRAZY! even if you find a deal, 95% of the time the person rapes you on shipping, and its not like you dont know how much it cost to ship, it says right on the package when you get it.

and stuff on here has gotten more pricey, theres a couple people asking for $900 for ROTAS, with curb rash and no good tires! i can get those on ebay, brand new for cheaper (go figure). Theres too many people trying to nickel and dime buyers on garbage items.

I dont mind getting a lowball offer if it's in reason. I was selling (And still am) some interior stuff, dash, panels..all totaling about $200..i was getting people making offers of $80 for EVERYTHING..if i remember right most lowballs came from people with low post counts (under 50).

To some extend, ya. "JDM" is nothing than a "theme" and a "style". Like a trend. To produce something using parts originated from Japan. I have no problem when people call their car "JDM Style".

I don't call my car JDM or anything along that line. It has parts that are made in Japan, but still, doesn't make it JDM.
