hey guys just thought id have a bitch about people trying to get somthing for nothing.

had my gizzmo shiftlight for sale and i know its not for sale for the $199 it was when i got it but have advertised it for $160 never been out of the box.

anyway i looked around melbourne and the going price for the same shiftlight is between $175 and $185 anyway the amount of people that have tried to get me to sell it for under $100 is unbelivable.

cant belive some peoples nerve.

when there already getting it cheaper than retail and they want more off just s#$ts me.

anyway thats my 5 cents.

anyone else got an issue like this feel free to post up.

yes, there are quite a few of them going around. even tho u post up expected prices. they still try their luck with half of what u've put up, which makes me wonder wat makes them think they have a chance at all.

either that, lots of ppl ask about prices and don't buy. then there are the illiterates or the blind. they don't/can't read "Serious buyers". they don't/can't read "non negotiable". or they just don't/can't read at all, eg, asking "how much?", when a price is posted, etc.

then there are those who pop out of nowhere and start saying that your sale is a ripoff or post totally irrelevant things. "my mate's mate who's a fungus farmer bought these mushrooms for half of wat your offering for your mushroom filters, yada yada yada"

You have to remember they don't know you. You are not offering a warranty so there is an element of risk. So they want it cheap nothing wrong with that. It's up to you to just say sorry that's not enough and try and talk them up.

another thing that has caused people too start asking ridiculous prices on products that are for sale is "E-BAY".........man it makes u wonder where in the world they are getting their products from and are they genuine from the particular brands that are in question!!!!!!This is apparent when u see that they are selling almost 100% lower than the actual wholoesale or retail price of the item!!! It's great for a bargin ol e-bay but its a gamble too if ur gonna get ur purchase sent to u or if u even get any type of warranty on it!!!!!and that includes postage!!!!LOL :P :P

If they keep hasseling you when you have said no that's just stupid. I agree with that totally if that's what the post is about.

So who ever you are just stop it.

As a buyer (occaisonally a seller) of items - I'll usually haggle.

But to be fair - I'll find out what the market price is - retail and places like ebay - if I don't think I'll have a decent offer that makes the buyer (me) and the seller happy - I just don't do anything about it ....

recent example:

I bought a grille + badge for my 'rolla asking price was ***.** and I offered a bit below that + postage ==> ended up negotiating and getting the grille for the price the seller was after and that included postage. Seller happy / Buyer happy.

That said =-= not long back i had some computer gear for sale - BRAND NEW - never even looked at --> because I didn't have time --> and I set a LOW price on it - way below retail: and had offers of $15.00 - $20.00....

I mean SERIOUSLY --> for me non sensible offers just don't get a response - or they get a sorry item sold for *** more than you offered, next time be realistic.

I'm cool with people trying to get things cheaper, We all want to save our cash for other things but no point being ridiculous about it.

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
