I made a post
« on: January 12, 2008 - 01:02:02 PM »
I made a post a couple of minutes ago. Something really urks me and I am having trouble holding it back. When you see it, make a few comments here and tell me if i'm right or in the wrong. Just certain issues I am really tired of and have to voice out. I could voice out better with a sledge hammer.

I know my New Years resolution I posted was cincere, but Newbie Sellers beware. CC.C is not here to get burned . Or taken advantage of.  Learn how we are, and how we help grow in knowledge and restorations. If your trying to make a fast buck here, I will let it be known.

If I am stepping on toes, Did it hurt?

I think that if stuff is percieved as junk, or overpriced, it will not sell and the sellers will either:  1--get the prices in line with the true value...   OR  --  2--realize that there is no "easy money" to be made here and move on.  AL--I do understand your point....    :cheers:

Alan
You are allowed to speak up anytime you like in my opinion.I can't afford their stuff at all,but if they ask for it?I bet I can't get a rim-blo wheel from them that I could afford?

We are a big family here so we try and look out for each other but we don`t need a lynch mob for every newbie trying to sell something.Most of us are true car guys who are in this hobby cuz we love Mopars(or any car) but there are some who are in it only for the money and alot of people in between.I understand the frustration towards the poeple just trying to make a fast buck but I just pass them buy and keep looking for a better deal-they are out there.

I totally agree.  Whats next, SSN's and DOB's or what?  If you dont like the price, move on.  If you dont like the seller, move on.

Al, if you are looking for honest opinions, yes, I think you are still being a little agressive.  Again, if you dont like the price or the seller, dont deal with them.  It is the buyers responsibility to get everything straightened out, and not get burned.  Its not just the internet, its in "real life" too. 

I guess I'm just getting sick of people complaining about newbs selling things, without introducing themselves.  It is not a prerequisite, and it shouldnt be.

 I Understand where your coming from Alan,  I was a Newbie just recently and i think their should be a system in place for newbies to abide by.   They should not be allowed to do any dealings until they make Jr.Member so everyone can get a feel for the individual.  Me being here i have come to see that this is in no way a forum for flogging big dollar parts, or parts that should not be big dollar and should be priced accordingly.  I have come to see we are family and do look after one another here.  I really love coming on here everyday. :2thumbs:
