Question Selling stuff through forum and result

Just wondering sucess of selling stuff on forum and results .I have bought a few things and sellers always say it was easy dealing with me as i didnt stuff them around .Its easy you want you pay ,not what color is it ,if i was in your state i would buy (Australia Post delivers all over OZ and there are couriers)

but just an indication off the dealings you have had with buyers or sellers

I've bought a set of 17" rims and some roller rockers for my XR8 and a 351 ZK Fairlane. Every one's been real easy to deal with and all calls and PM's were returned. In all very plesant experiences and no messing around.

No problems with anyone I've dealt with and if anyone had a problem with anything i sell or pay for I will do everything in my power to rectify any issues/problems.
A deal is done when both parties are happy.

Sometimes one needs to weigh up postage costs to see if something is worth buying.

I bought my unichip from Chris, my steering wheel from JCXR8 and the same wheel from John_xr6 (for the EL) and had no problems at all. No stuffing around and all deals done quick! It's good dealing with fellow members. You get to know them. I've learnt JC's a good 'item packer' Thumbs up and will deal with again mate AAA++++++ :P

When a fellow member goes out of their way for you - it really says alot about their character

Twas my fault he didn't send those buttons earlier. I rocked up to his place one friday and dragged him to melb as my navigator. He did say 'oh I need to post something ' My reply: 'Wayne we haven't got time we're going'

I've bought and sold plenty never had an issue.

[edit] I've had a few slow to pay when they've said yes they want it and supplied postage details. That normally isn't an issue provided they keep in contact. My longest iten hold was around 3mths. Which I was more than happy to do to help someone out.

I've been involved in a few purchases from other members here, never had any issues that couldn't be sorted out

Dealt with Psycho Chicken, InitialD, and Niko, all great guys to deal with and I would deal with again.

Dealt with lots of forums members and have found 90% quite good. The other 10% are still giving me the sh*ts.

Even I'm surprised that Aussie Post can move that fast. :hihi:

I've bought from a few members without any problems at all, InitialD, Psycho Chicken, niko. I've also had a lot of help from a few of the Melbourne branch AFF lynch mob. :
Only one person hasn't delivered as promised, but I'm sure we'll get that sorted out.

Everyone I've met from the forums have been great, including their sponsors.
Brendan you are the king!! :

Doesn't sound at all like Tibbo - I'm sure there's a good reason. It'sa lot of stuffing around , organising packaging and posting and the like, especially when you work...

Krissy and JC have been very good to deal with on the buying side of things. Had a few hiccups trying to sell stuff but mainly with postage of large items etc.

Have sold a cpl of things and has been achieved with no fuss at all. Only problem is the same no matter where you sell, ppl trying to knock the price down , asking for postage costs when it seems they have no real interest in the item

Yeah. He's quite a helpful person. Like Nick said, there's gotta be another reason.

I've had no real dramas. Either things have sold quickly or not at all. It's always harder to drum up interest in higher priced items.

Oh yeah, the originator of this thread is a good customer!!
