When your looking for parts ????

[51 Fargo]

Hey ya know what ,,, when your looking for parts and people are there to help ya out with parts it would be a good thing to let them know if you want them or NOT and don,t leave them standing after they go threw the trouble with shipping cost and boxing up the item to ship to YOU..... and YOU don,t come threw. Iam getting abit PISSED Off with people that seem to think your time doesn,t mean squat.... Hey if you need a part and I got it and you want it then lets do the deal and everyone is happy but don,t ask me to send pics and ask how much with shipping and leave me hangin ................ It,s not like Iam asking a fortune for the part cause Iam Not ... Iam here to help you out Not screw you over . So then next time you need a part and I got it and I know you made me sit and wait till you made up you mind weather you wanted it or not it might cost you double ....

Sorry to vent guys but I have just about had enough of being the nice guy to help out the guy that want to put a truck together without it costing a arm and a leg...... I think for now on I just as well put it on E bay and get top dollar

My 2 cents I have sold parts for years and that is the way it goes all part of the business after all you do make money on parts . Complaining to potential customers is never a good thing.

[51 Fargo]

well if you think Iam complaining thats Fine I am just stating facts ... You go out of your way to help someone out you think they would have the curtousy to let you know if they want the item or not .... Oh and Iam not in the business to sell parts I do it to help people out

[oldmopar]

Well if you are just selling them at a low price to help out then yes that can be annoying. Problem may be with shipping cost from Canada to US.

The same headaches and even more come up when you sell on ebay.

Just so I understand: Your upset because people looking for parts ask for a price and shipping costs - and then they don't go any farther than asking the question?

[51 Fargo]

no what I mean is they PM you ask you to take pics and you do then they PM you back and say thats what I need here is my adress please let me know what the shipping is and so you go and box up the item get a weight and sizes of the box to the post office , Email them back with all the info and you don,t hear from them again . Thats what Iam pissed about

Perhaps this will help you:

Now you just need to measure the item and figure out the box size, estimate the weight, add a couple of dollars for packing material, and send the shipping estimate to the person that asked.

I never box an item up and take it to the post office when someone asks what shipping is. I just estimate size and weight and get an estimate online. Sometimes the shipping cost can scare people off from buying something.

Look at it this way, now you know what it is for the next buyer.

Maybe the email address is bust, or he is in hospital, or his PC is broken... no replies may just mean that..

while I will admit it is an aggravation..it is part in part of doing business..good guy or businessman..and I would venture to say that for about evey buyer asking these question and not getting back to you after the fact...I have has as many sellers who dropped communications for whatever reason..maybe a higher offer..closer inspections proves the part not worthy of sale, maybe I ought to keep it for a spare, they aren't being made anymore etc etc..I have parts on here now that I have boxed for members and still sitting after almost two years..and for every one of these little set backs or annoyances..there has been more than enough positive buys and sells to balance out..for the most part quotes are not hard that difficult to obtain in person..quit stop by the PO or some shipper, now I may have advantage as they are both near my home for the PO and the shipper across the street from where I work...if you have an intent to sell it..having it packaged and weighted will always be a plus for any future sell.

Well thanks for all the input you guys I guess I have had more than my share of sales gone south . But I have had some good ones as well and I have helped a few people out that have been in a tuff spot with parts .

[Guest Kuster13]

Would you by any chance have any rear fenders for a 50? You wouldn't have to worry about shipping cause I would pick them up.
