Default what's it worth posts

if you want to know how much something is worth, can't you look elsewhere on the web? for example, see what other examples are selling for on ebay, check parkers price guide for cars etc?

far too many of them on here at the moment imo, and it's getting really boring to read. particularly the 'this is not a for sale post' ones. why do you need to say that? obviously it will be up for sale if you think that you'll get enough for it, as everything has a price.

and at the end of the day, something is worth what someone will pay for it

rant over. have a nice day

There is no need mate

If someone wants to see what a 2WD T34 engine is worth.......Post it in the parts for sale section but put on it that you are looking to see what its worth..

The people who are looking in there are the ones that will be buying it, so they can tell you what they are willing to pay. You can then gauge what it worth

WHAT A LOAD OF FUCKING BOLLOX


if i post whats a set of mag rl7 wheels worth and someone wants em there not gonna fucking say ( 2k mate, im looking for a set too)

there gonna say 50 quid mate simple as


when you sell ANYTHING you wanna know a price to see if its worth it or not


i personally cant see the issue tbh as your helping each other rather than lettign us get ripped off


a whats it worth forum would be a waste to unless you think theres members on here who only wanna post what prices are worth



let em stay in general imo,,,,, moving em to forsale is pointless as they may NOT be for sale and just trying to gauge if what there buying is a deal,,,,, but then they get mobbed with pm's asking for the best price from members



this is just crap brought on from the traders who dont like others selling stuff cause they feel there gonna loose money and feel only they can sell for profit


let em go ffs,ok a few sneeky ones will get thorugh but if you had a points system where if theres too many by people then they get delt with ect


to a newbie they may know know what a 2wd cossie is worth these days,, why not help them out rather than throw em in the forsale room or delete there posts



dont know if you have noticed but the general room is not as busy as it used to be guys, could be cause your moving posts or could be that we are looking for new places to surf as we cant be bothered with the one sided attitude that this place seems to have

No mate, there are forums for particular cars and variants - as Tiff says if they want to know, ask there. Not difficult is it !

greg i aint having a argument, just that you said to use the search facilitys to find the prices


could you as a mod show this to prove the point ?????


if not they its as good a argument as the copper who nicked me for speeding at 3am saying the line

" what if a kid stepped out in the road"


i aitn gonna argue with ya sweety,,,,, just your the only mod who cant tell me the price without searching and for that reason helps prove what ALL MODS ARE SUGESTING aint actually any use


sorry if it seems like im picking on you, its not like that


and i aint arguing,,,, well apart from you and the other mods are wrong

I think through some lapse of sanity I can see what you are trying to say..but you are going a bloody long way about it.
The forum is for discussion and to help people, yes..so questions from people..and answers from others..are helpful..??

However..they could be even more helpful..if they were in the section for the wheels/car/whatever so people who knew something about that item could value it. Plus in the GD it's off the first page in not very long so you may not even get help before its gone

i agree with you mate, some people not selling stuff maybe gonna buy something and want other peoples opinions on if its worth it, i put a post up earlier as to price of a bike cause i know shit all about em and know a few people on here do and the post got moved as for people getting tired of reading HOW MUCH posts, simply dont fucking read em

b19bal, i completely agree with everything you have said.

many things ive not known what a second hand price is worth so ive had to ask, if i dont ask ill never know!!

putting things in the for sale section just to find a price sounds daft to myself, mine got moved there some months back and 2 days later i came back online and had 8 PM's from people asking if they could have parts from my car when i brake it - which i wasnt doing! and even offers to come and buy the car, all i wanted to know was the prices of parts that i may or may not need to sell if i was going to go bigger power, ie: working out if it was worth while doing it.


General Discussion is just that and should remain that, or is it General Discusion providing certain subjects arnt mentioned????

you have failed to see the most common aspect regarding these posting,99% are from NON paying gold members who then in turn do not just ask whats somethings worth BUT then post the full spec of what thay are asking about,I wonder why
there nothing wrong wqoth asking for an opinon as the iten is obviously going to be for sale and in turn will be advertsied in the correct section providing the poster IS a paid member
BUT the problem starts with ALL the non payers.

I totally agree with Pete,this has got fook all to do with "What something is worth" it`s about non gold members trying to offload something without paying like the rest of us.....

5.4 pence a fookin day for fooks sake,thats all it costs,you would have your money back in 1 sale....

Blar blar blar

All those whats this worth posts are nothing more than a for sale post in the busiest section

Its simple to find out what anything is worth by looking in the relevant section ,,ie ,, Whats a t34 turbo worth ,,LOOK IN COSSIE PARTS FOR SALE SECTION ,, you will see what others are selling them for ,,there is your answer

Why is it that you think traders are moaning about this ,, everyone is sick of it

I dont care who sells what on here as long as its in the correct section AND ARE A GOLD MEMBER , and NOT a bedroom trader who wont pay the traders fees

...people post that kinda thing in here cause no fucker looks at any other room

To the USERS...please multi task...there are what 20 rooms..so have 20 windows open and refresh each from 1 - 20 in order..then we wouldnt get posts like this total garbage thread to complain wasting more bandwidth than a "whats it worth post"


...maybe while we are here we could move the joke threads to muppet..far too many
