I have just had a call from a chap asking for a Magnex S/steel exhaust for a S2 rs turbo

I quoted him £170 DELIVERED to devon for a MINT conditin full system with a choice of tailpipe size

He said he would think about it

Not trying to nock the bloke , but i thought that was a good deal

Yes or No ????????

Honest opinions please as im quite shocked he didnt rip my arm of

 

£170 delivered is very very cheap IMO, considering about £25 of that will be for packing and post.....he's obviously a cheap skate

 

yes CHEAP but we are tight down here

 

i sold my 3" mongoose for £80..and bought a 4"mongoose for the same price Paul...not sparkling clean but nowt wrong with them both

 

Not a bad price at all imo

 

Thanks for the replies

its worth just asking some times to make shure im not charging over the odds

 

Mind you if i was buying it off you i'd want it for £100

 

Thanks for the replies

its worth just asking some times to make shure im not charging over the odds

 

Thats a cheap price but don't forget there is always loads of cheap shite on ebay for peanuts. People don't always realise you get what you pay for.

 

Fuck all wrong with £170 to his doorstep - if I was looking for one I wouldn't have even argued.

 

average imo if you wanted to hunt about you would proberly find cheaper

 

I'd want a warenty for that money

Seriously though i sold my near new scorpion for 150 and that was cheap as i just wanted rid of it so your price is good especially from a robbing trader

 

Agreed

BUT,,from a propper trader that you can contact if your unhappy / not as described etc , and will deliver to your door the next day , unlike the e/bay tossers who send shite and spend your money then send the part when they can be arsed



Buying from a trader will always cost a little more but people these days would rather pay a little more and get good service rather than risk the cash on fleebay

 

Oh yes indeedy.....................but probably £30 of that must be postage so £140 from someone who won't fuck you about ? Cheap mate, cheap...............

 

correct mate ,,i worked on between £20 and £30 to deliver

then when you add my time to wrap it properly and the bubble wrap and about 5 rolls of tape

 

If he rings back up tell him your using it at the worlds biggest pot pipe, as thats what you thought he was smoking when he wanted to have a think about the price

 

yea agree with that but some people will just try and hunt down a cheaper item to save that extra £20.people on here know you are a quality seller and always help people out but if someone justs plucks your number from a phone book they dont know that....

dont spose you have a 1.7 puma gearbox

 

Good point mate

No box sadly

 

paul thats bollocks,there are some decent traders selling on ebay,

 

NORTH YORKS RS SPARES

you got any escort cossie gearboxes bud as i fancy buying a spare

 

and some of them have 1.7 puma gearboxes as well.

 

There are also a lot of complete and utter tossers Tim

The art is knowing who is and who isnt decent , but sadly e/bay is getting worse and worse for total tossers who will rip you of

not you , but there are some

 

I think i have mate ,,will look 2moro

 

you got a cone filter for a 4x4 saff i really need one

 

NORTH YORKS RS SPARES

Cheers bud what sort of price you looking at for a decent 1, O and a t34 samco boost hose turbo to airbox also

 

saph4be

My mate has

 

Ive got a full magnex lying in the trees in my back garden(been there for about a year), reckon i could easy get £100 for it round my way. Its not in dazzling conditon as all kinds of wildlife have been rumaging round it and i cant be arsed with the hassle of pakaging and sending so i'd say around £170 is fair from a trader to your door

 

£20 ,,i will look for a hose also

 

Yes mate

call me 2moro £25

 

NORTH YORKS RS SPARES


£20 i'll have 10

 

Paul always thought you done good deals to people

 

Tim Finch

I keep going back to your reply

I ststed people are going back to traders ,,your a trader arnt you ?? so why did you say it was bollocks ,,i was refering to private sellers thats why i said TRADERS

 

And the 's on e-bay will try to rip you off on anything. Friend had to send a check (another e-bay expert friend suggested it was dodgey) to this guy who was selling two fibreglass wings for a 20 year old ford cargo. That was three weeks agao and he hasnt sent them out.
I mean, Come On, its some bloody wings that will only fit a ford cargo, not some mass market, high demand thing that will get 10 or 20 people! There are some real wankers out there.

 

That sounds like a proper fair price, especially to your door!

The fella is obviously a skint mo fo or just tight!

BTW Paul, what would you charge for a mint lambda sensor off a saph?

 

Shorty

Havent got one mate ,,sorry

If i did it would be about £800


Now who is cheap

 

price is fairly average IMO,about what you'd expect from a trader,nothing special,especially not worth ripping your arm off for. i would ask then shop around as well,if he can get the same thing or nearly the same thing for half the price then why shouldnt he?

 

Tbh, I know I do this. Sometimes wonder how much things are, then wonder what else I could buy instead.

Happens all the time, £170 is spot on.

 

Well how much is one new anyway, I have no idea but I bet it's alot more than that, a stainless exhaust will never fuck up unless it's all mangled which I am sure it is most definately not. Good post tho, shows you actually are a genuine guy and not just out for the dough.

 

I dont want to buy one, just asking what one is generally worth

 

Fair point mate the reason i did the post

i bet he will struggle to get a better price tho from a propper trader

Easy to be undercut by a man in the street but as long as most think its a fair price then im happy
