NOLAG, you could allways shop around and buy from someone else

Anyway, in the absence of Tiff, I submit the following:

OK pete maybe a bit on the dear side,but every thing you get from him is spot on and delivered next day if possable,returns are not usualy a problem,try a lot of bedroom traders off the net and you can waite weeks after paying for stuff,then just crap appears,pete and pall at ny rs spares are about the only 2 used cossie breakers i use these days,and remember they have over heads,and how long do you think it takes to get your money back on that 3.5k saff you have bought for breaking,can take months,if it was days or weeks we would all be doing it,so give the guy a break

Never heard a bad word about him before.

Examples of his prices and where you can get the same quality items and as good a service cheaper or STFU!

As said above, you pay for quality and piece of mind that the goods arrive when said/promised.

Nothing but good heard about this trader. You got an issue, take it up with him in PM and not in the general discussion area.

hmmmm.....so rather than just thinking "thats too much for me ill go elsewhere" you come on here and have a go? you have 37 posts so ur hardly on here asking lots of people about the prices of things. i hate people who try to take the piss "i could get that for half the price up north" etc....if thats the case stop bothering me and go get it up north then! otherwise shut up and get your money out. ive never bought from pete,but have seen some of the cars etc that he sells and must say they always seem to be at about the going rate,which isnt bad for someone who will have to live off what hes selling and will be around to complain to if it aint what he sells it as.not just someone off ebay who may disappear if its not what u thought u were buying

The reason he's still going is because he's an honest, genuine bloke who only deals in quality parts.

If you want to buy cheap crap then go elsewhere. There's no need to cry about it on a public forum.

Dear compared to what? A bedroom trader that's likely not send your bits out and you have NO remittance if the parts are fooked, not as described or simply NEVER sent?

Or should traders do it for free? No mark-up, just sell it all cheap to keep you happy?

Everyone's gotta make a living and I know it probably wouldn't make a great deal of difference financially, but I'll bet if McDonalds stopped paying you a salary for flipping those tasty burgers you'd have something to say about it.

Even the thread title is very misleading

robbery (plural robberies) noun
Definitions:
theft of property, the act or an instance of illegally taking something that belongs to somebody else, especially by using force, threats, or violence

Clueless muppet - I've dealt with Pete loads in the past, and I'd trust him 100% with no equivocation.

He is one of the longest standing and most respected people in this scene, so methinks you are way off.
