^ lmfao

Most of the stuff you mention is normal, so get used to it, or disappear, it wont change, just means you look like a whining cock now.

I tend to send loads of PMs to whoever im planning on buying something from, usually if i get one word/one line answers that tell me feck all il just not reply, its not worth my time.

Everybody wants to get something cheaper than its listed for, Its always worth a try. Dont go giving me the "but you cant do that in a supermarket" eather.

Its not the people who buy/sell on here that annoy me, its people like you who moan endlessly about it, i saw your bonnet stay thread a min ago too.

Rant over.

1. Or you could just write a your location, looks nice if you take the effort when you want to sell something.

2. It's worth a try, some people drop prices if you try and haggle, it's how it works, don't ask, you wont get.

3. Illiterate people have money to.

4. Once again, you want to sell something then you have to expect this, kind of obvious. Stop crying, it's free to sale here.

5. Why not post an item. You are the seller, you want the money, put some effort in to it, I wouldn't want to put miles on the car personally

There is alot of messers, just dont hold anything for anyone then you wont be let down, first come first serve.

That is a good point i missed out on, Collecting things is fine if they are larger items and within about 1 hour, depending on the size of the item, I would not go out of my way to collect bulbs or something!

Postage is so cheap too, it is almost silly not to add a couple of quid to the postage cost to pay for your packing and post things, as said it really opens up your chances of selling something as you attract people from lands end to scotland

Hell ive even packaged doors before lol

You didn't read it very well then did you as it includes postage and packaging.

He is clearly talking about shit that is too expensive to post and when you reply saying how much it costs they (the poverty stricken Corsa owner) bricks it.

Maybe there are only a few of us on here with a modicum of common sense?

@ you wasting your time to package a door. I wouldn't touch it unless it was £75 + postage as it would cost a fortune to potentially get it there in tact.

As I and the OP said, it's a case of many on this site rummaging in bins metaphorically speaking.

Whatever the size im not bothered about, i had profit out of the doors themselves plus the packing/postage cost.

I know his bonnet stays include postage, but meh maybe i didnt read this thread fully, was already funked by the point of this thread at all.

So STFU then?

If you have to fuck around posting throw-away doors you aren't even playing the game.

3) Dnt tlk lyk dis n callin me m8 n chattin bowt ur nang bizzle lexus lites - agree!

4) Don't PM me endlessly. See the item, see the price, decide if you want it and if you can afford it. Then PM me to arrange payment. - no comment

5) Collect stuff maybe once in a while? Southerners are notably bad for this, it's like they are afraid of going anywhere north of Luton, because all that stuff up there is for coal miners Take a roadtrip. Save some postage time/cost. It's cool. - never like posting stuff i'm too lazy

That is all.

This thread may now be used to post porn if you wish. My rant is over.

I have a memory like a goldfish, i see something, post in tbe thread then forget all about it, or empty my u2u boxes and forget.
Although i have bought and sold a mass of items with no bother.

I agree with some of the points in this thread but I dislike that some of the people making them actually appear to believe that they are better people.

Advice is good.

Sounding like a pompous fool, less so.

I hope I'm not included in that statement Ian?

I don't think I am better than people on here, I fucking know I am.

Jesus, some of the PM's I have had tonight just back up EVERYTHING stated in this thread.

Look at the thread Ian, it's for someone else. I wouldn't piss on this sites users if they were on fire, I wouldn't give them the pleasure of breathing in the steam.

In responce to the PM I posted above they asked if it was a 'yeh', I just told them to fuck off.

Oh please roll on 10 years until these chav twats can't afford a mint Corsa and all the shitters have been cubed?

No. It won't sell on here, the tyres probably cost more than most peoples car.

It's a shame I already have 8 pairs of cut slicks or I would have them myself but I could only fit them on the back (I used to run them on the front but it tram-lined to fuck!).

No. They were off a Rover 100 but close enough.

I use R888's for commuting on the back of my Metro and A048 softs on the front, even in snow.

I can afford to commute in a mint Metro that stands at more than a VXR Astra, just as I can afford to commute on cut slicks, so yes you are right. Hell, aren't you pissing about with a Puma? You only trolled yourself TBH.
