Running Ads on RJ
I have recently noticed a number of long term sellers are not posting ads on RJ and have not done for quite some time. I am sure it has to do with the economy and the cut throat offers they have received.
I sincerely feel for them. For some, this is an extension of their livelyhood. Its how they pay their bills. They provide a service to us, the consumer, by providing very competative pricing for aftermarket and OEM products. When times get tough, they are the first to feel the stress of the economy. Its not like there is a hugh markup on any of the items they sell, but just maybe if they are able to sell a few items and make a little bit of profit on each item, it just might keep the lights on one more month.
For months now, I also have seen the trickle down effect the economy has had on guys like me who tend to sell a few parts that are sitting on the shelf inorder to pay for the next new, bigger and better project.
With the low ball offers I am receiving on the few parts I have listed it is very discouraging to open my messages. And to top that, it just kind of Pi$$e$ a guy off when he has been low balled by 50 percent of his asking price. And the scams are just piling up.
Can't wait for thing to turn around.
