Hi Dave

I suppose you are refering to me...As I said I am sorry you don't feel well today and you feel put out. You made the effort to show me the exhaust and I made the 2 and a half hour round trip to look at it. I looked and it was not for me, what else can I say......

Thks

Oh yeah dave,

I was meaning to tell you - one of the defi's has this really small scuff on it, and you cut one of the wires at a funny angle and one of the box lids was ripped.

I'd like you to refund all my money and let me keep them.























Not!

Picked them up today mate - they're spot on.

Pleasure doing business with you

dave ur selling rs parts what do u expect

RSCAT

nowt wrong with that, he turned up so did his bit, if he didnt like the item then thats up to him.

Anonymous

What a stupid post Like you expect a certain sale just cause someone wants to view....i wish it was that easy.

Dave i beleive you deserve one of these

SapphyMike

its not always the seller thats in the right.

i saw a right dog of a cossie last night.. but then when the price is too good to be true, what do you expect.. shame it wasnt worth more than £1k

DaveEscos

and you deserve a fucking slap aswell you gormless cock

"we still on the for the exhaust mate? keep it because i definatley want it!"


sound like a viewing? when I turned other buyers down! left work early because of fucking food poisioning, yet still went to take the exhaust apart and bring it back home

last fucking time i do that. First person to get to me with the cash gets the item(s)
thankfully 90% of the guys who bough stuff, were absolute gentlemen.. ie rolls, mike R, b9kos, Dave Moss, Franco, Paul R, effi, Phil clay etc etc

I have to say though, and this CATEGORICALLY ISN'T aimed at Dave, I have seen alot of cars broken for parts and the most common thing that people do is price the parts according to the last time they saw them. So, they remember their nice shiny Koni shocks and their spangly wiring loom etc, which they price accordingly. Then when it comes to removing it from the car, it's a bit of a chore, so it gets torn off and slung in a box without so much as a wipe.

I have seen people sell wiring looms for management systems and the way they have been removed from the car is just plain careless and lazy, with plugs chopped off and all-sorts.

SapphyMike

like cars that say "some tlc needed".. SOME????

happens all too often i'm afraid

Oh shite i was meant to ask you what Effi bought??

Dave don't forget my nuts + bolts thank you please

Kev.H

Dave who cares more importantly go to Emmett in Eldon St (near liverpool street and check out the flower power shirts in the left hand window)

I almost had to take a pick to show you

Get people to leave feedback on your premises! Thats what i do, tell them any inspection welcome/have a good look round, and if there happy they leave + feedback and you do the same!

Rippers

In a way I do understand what Dave is saying on the exhaust. At the end of the day its a second hand exhaust that has been under car.. it will be marked/dirty!
I've bought a few 2nd hand S/S's myself and with a bit of elbow grease they buff up the nuts but then why bother if you're only going to see the tailpipe If he wanted a mirror finish jobbie for a concours Esc Cos then buy a new one for another couple of hundred quid!
At the end of the day the guy was entitled to turn down the exhaust but I can understand Dave annoyance at putting people off the sale and I think the guy had a pretty high expectation of what he was buying.

BTW Dave how did you get on with the diff on sat?

Malc50

Hi Dave...

"we still on the for the exhaust mate? keep it because i definatley want it!"

I said this and had the full intention of buying the exhaust on the basis of your adverts picture and you telling me that it had only done 900 miles. You also stated you had the blank for the sensor boss.

I have no facilities at home at all, so when you told me I just needed to find a bolt that fitted and cut it down to make a boss plug plus try and find some u bolts because they were missing as well it just didn't add up for me when a new one was not alot more.... I too left work early to make the trip, so there was dissapointment on both sides.

As I said I am sorry you felt unwell but that really is nothing to do with me...This is just a case of different expectations please don't turn it into a slagging match. I am surprised you even posted about it....

Regards Malc

I really don't know what some people expect.

There are some proper fooking Steptoe & Sons out there having a laugh.

I put my Prelude up on a Honda Forum a couple of weeks ago at a crazy low price. So low the missus cuffed me round the ear when she found out. I get this guy phone me up an hour or two later "I want to buy your car mate, I'm coming to get it Monday" so I go and make all the preperations. He turns up and starts going over it like a concourse judge. He then complains about the rot on the bodywork and points at his own Prelude and says

"I got that for £1500 and the body on it is mint."

All I could think was "But I'm asking £500, what the fuck has a couple of rusty arches got to do with it". Then to add insult to injury he says he's going to go get some food and think about it. Of course I sit there all night like a lonely dog at the window waiting for him to come back. Instead I get some spawny PM at 11pm saying the cars too far gone to be worth buying.

General rule is, anybody you don't know off the net is likely to be a know nothing scrounging twat who'll just waste your time.

Big Will_

Bugger. I tried really hard and didn't make it onto your list

MONSTER

thats a bit extreme innit mate, so what you're saying is dont deal with anyone on the net if you dont know them?

MWF

Erm no... no I'm not

I'm just saying that it's very easy to sit on the net going through for sale posts and basically taking the piss. I just agree with the principle of putting stuff up at a price and first come first served. Unless it's someone you know.

MONSTER

ah, furry muff...

agree with u on the 1st come 1st served though, have dealt with a few time wasters who say 'yeah keep it for me mate' blah blah etc only to be let down a week or so later, during which time i could have sold it

Anonymous

Grow up Dave with the insults You city types really think your "IT" dont you?


Malc has landed another

Look pal...you dont come on PF and post about a bloke that said he wanted something WITHOUT seeing it.....and in this case the item wasnt as described by the looks?

For the sake of 200 quid you are willing to slag someone off? You should become an official trader

Kev.H

says you with your im leaving attention whore posts and not to mention the look at me ive bought another shit ish car posts

Anonymous

...cars are always shit if you cant afford them yourself

Just giving Dave internet banter which no doubt will go str8 to his heart

MichaelG

Maybe i am just being dumb, but what has food poisoning and going home early got anything to do with it ?

At the end of the day the exhaust wasnt for the guy, but he also made a journey to see it so i wouldnt class him as a "messer"

A messer is someone who

A) Phones and then doesnt turn up

or

B) Says he will buy something online and then doesnt pay....

Anyone who bases a sale on word of mouth without a visual shouldnt in my book. Not everything is as mint in everyones eyes.

You want a good exemple of a MESSER is the fact that i did a 950 mile round trip WITH A TRAILER to see a "MINT SERIES 1" that turned out to be a fooking shed on the inside and mechanically, guy claimed on the phone it was proper mint, ran well etc...and old pics seemed to back this up.....had to turn round and come all the way back home again, 14 hour drive each way and £300 lighter of pocket for fuel i was NOT a happy man

THATS being messed about.

Kev.H

see there you go again boasting the only car you own worth anything is that ferrari no offence im glad you have all those cars and they make YOU happy but you havent a single car I would want you really should refer to those wise old comments re your origional post to dave ie pot calling the kettle and people in glass houses you love showing people you collection of OLD has been luxury cars
