Default Ya know what I've really come to hate about this forum...

...When you are looking at something in the marketplace for sale, and there are like 3 pages of people asking for info and PMing and bla bla blaing, and u really really want it, and even though u KNOW ur really late to be noticing it and u should just jump to the last page and look for that "sold" post, you still read all 4 pages of people asking questions and getting ur hopes up seeing the "its still available" post all along the way and then sure enough u get to the end and it is SOLD! Then to make it even worse, you just go right to the next thread and do it all over again.... errrr.... my favorite example is a popcharger.. those bstrds dont last more than an hour! that marketplace makes for such a love/hate relationship....

Wow that first sentence was a really long one...

And no one say repost, cause u cant repost a thought or a rant - they are personal feelings darn it!

sorry for wasting bandwidth.. ill stop now.

popchargers are only like $120... don't be cheap! But for the marketplace... yea it gets kinda annoying but if you hussle and jump the gun, you will get what you want!

If people would just learn to lock their thread once the item is sold it would be real easy to tell which ones not to bother looking at.

I doubt the sellers care about locking a thread, they got their $!

What I don't understand is, people that want to save $20 over a brand new pop charger and they get a used one thats half the time looks like ****! Blows my mind. Got mine for $110 new shipped!

I hate in the Vendor classifieds that they don't post prices. You have to PM for price. I mean, just tell us on the forum how much the damn wheels are! Are they PMing different prices to different people??

Vendors don't post prices because most are restricted by their distributor to NOT advertise below a certain price. They get around that by giving you a private price quote.

Plus, if they post a price today and it changes next week, they have to go back and change all the threads where they quoted the old price.

i hate how ppl post up somethig for sale with no pics and say "email me for pics"

just post the damn pics so EVERYONE can see the actual product... its more work to read a TON of emails and then to reply to all of them with a attatched pic...
