yea who got it??? I asked if you had paypal and never replied back???hmmm. that sucks if i look at the posts i think firstgen and i were the first to reply and i sent 1 e-mail and 1 pm asking if you had paypal... first come NOT FIRST SERVED..

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I replied to your PM immediately with a shipping quote. I got your email and an email from another individual at the same time and replied to both of you with shipping quotes at the same time. He immediately replied that he would take the parts, and I never heard back from you after PMing you the shipping quote. Sorry it didn't work out for you, but there's nothing that I can do about that now.

When I say "first come, first served" I mean first person to say "I'LL BUY IT" not first person to ask if I have Paypal or how much is shipping. If you meant "I'll buy it" by asking that, sorry you should have been more clear. Asking for a shipping quote does not constitute a sale in my book, otherwise I would have sold a lot of shit that I still have because 20 f@*king people asked for shipping quotes and then I never heard from them again. FIRST PERSON TO SAY "I'LL BUY IT" IS FIRST SERVED. That's the way it happened, like it or not.

Once again, sorry.

No it's not GAY it's called FAIR.


One thing's for sure, it's ebay from now on. No more bullshit with selling things here first in order to give members first dibs. People get their ass on their shoulders if they don't get their way. You guys have taught me a lesson.

As far as who bought the stuff, I'll leave that up to them if they want to say they bought it. Not my place to say.

WRONG

I replied to his PM immediately after getting it and his email last night. Did he get the PM? I don't know. I have no way of knowing that. All I know is there was someone else also with cash ready and they were the first to say they would buy it, so they got it. It's as simple as that. And I'm pretty damned sure if I wanted something that badly I would go to UPS.com and "guesstimate" at the MOST that shipping could possibly be and buy it regardless of the actual dollar amount. I have bought stuff in the past not knowing how much shipping would be, but I knew I really wanted and needed the parts and I didn't want to not buy it over $5 or $10 dollars in shipping charges.

Wow This is a new standard.

[1stGenRex]

so if i would have "guesstimated" that it would have been $3 to ship then you would have sold it to me?

You are forgetting about handling charges.



You know what handling charges are.... the BS sellers have to put up with. Listing the item, packaging the item, The time spent in line at the shipping agency (which is even more entertaining if you haven't had your coffee first thing in the morning). Answering STUPID questions like, How Much to ship, Do you have paypal, Will you make sure the item doesn't poke my eye out when I am installing it. You know stuff like that. Personally I think he shouldn't have even advertized. He should have just sat there and expected everyone to know. And when they asked a STUPID question like, "How much is shipping" He should have gotten online and posted, "If you have to ask, Its too much for you."

Why do I say this? Because. It does happen. Everywhere.

[1stGenRex]

ok...$.50 for the trouble...after all...thats how much i would have made packing that stuff

[1gTeg90]

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Yes, I would have sold the parts to you, but I would have charged the actual amount that shipping would cost. Your "guesstimation" would only have served the purpose of helping you decide whether to "pull the trigger" or not.

If you had figured shipping would be about $35.00 and you had said "Hey Richard, I'll take the parts" the I would have said "GREAT! Your total will be $346.00!" Then you would have bought the parts, and it would only have cost you $11 more dollars than you had figured. That ONE FUCKING TRIP to McDonalds.
