i also made my post in repsonse ONLY to "What happned to Honesty and Integrity"........
but now that we are on this buying and selling thing.....although i feel strongly on what i posted above..i still believe there are good people out there..the problem is knowing who they are..Right....so with that said i just created my own rules to deal with Dishonesty,Integrity or whatever you want to call it when it comes to buying and Selling....
Here is my Policy and i used this policy when i Sold my 63 Vette a few months back..
you tell me you want it..fine.....give me a date and time you will be here and we let it ride till then...you pull a No show and i go to the next Buyer/seller..simple as that..
I sold my vette for a considerable amount of $$ ( will not disclose) and to a man from out of the country ( Canada) at that ..i told him my bottom price and he told me the date he would be here...He ask me how much deposit i needed and i said "ZERO"..."NONE' ,"NADA", "ZIP", ...I told him being here that SAURDAY was deposit enough....i advised him i would gaurantee the car Until SATURDAY...
No deposit needed if you hold to your guns Right.? ..My opinion if you need a deposit you anticIpate something going wrong and probably do not need to be dealing with the buyer to begin with...( MY OPINION ONLY)
Bottom Line Ticker Kickers,Dis-honest people or whatever you want to call them don't control our sales (buying or sellingl)
People let their Greed,laziness,Stupidity,Nieveness enable the dishonest thieveing people to get away with more than they ever should have..
i mean dayuuuum guys..we got people coming on the scammer section and complaining they got ripped off after admitting they met the person face to face and saw the deal and knew better then to go thru with it...but still made the deal...i mean WTF !
people sending Big money hundreds of miles away buying stuff sight un-seen with little to No background investigation on who they are dealing with or what they are buying.....like they don't sell that type of head,header,intake or whatever just a few miles away.....but ahhhh the lure of being $50 bucks cheaper and Dumb Boy ( also known as Mr Greed) couldn't resist...... :shock:
Tom addressed this in another post in the scammer section a few days ago but i guess he wasn't political correct enough and got almost slammed for it....
i mean DAYYYUUUMM guys...did anyone stop and read the "Common Sense Obituary" and pay close attention to the Blue caption at the end ?
this is also not directed at one person..this is just"If the shoe fits wear it" Vent !
yes ...i come from the era where we drank water from a HOSE PIPE, we stood in the front seats of our parents car as we drove down the 2 lane highway, only had (3) TV Stations that went off at mid-night after playing national anthem, there was lead in our pump gas....
Proud to be an American and from a generation that still had some common sense
sorry just had to get that out !
