Default with great sadness, I bid a Farewell to CL

With great sadness I'm writing this today to say that I will be leaving this great community till the market picks up. With sales just about coming to a standstill, I can no-longer afford CL as a vendor, and just might to have to close my site.

I have made some great friends here, and I truly will miss interacting with the CL community. Farewell for now CL, Farewell

sorry to hear that but pricing also drives demand. i did very well doing internet parts sales as long as my pricing made you want to buy my product. but your 2gs led cover would cost me maybe 25 dollars a set to have made in china and then i could sell them here for 75 a pair and sell quite a few sets quickly at a hefty profit. not saying its a fix all but even my local guy sells me new HID kits full warranty and great product for 50 a set.

good luck whatever you do just look around theres money everywhere i spread mine out and do alot of ebay and local craigslist

You can still hang around as a member....just no business selling...selling your own personal items is ok.

way to bash him when hes already down...

being a vender here is really expensive n we have to many cheap people that only request quotes and WASTE these vender's time... how do i know? i have a friend that was a vender and he had to remove his account cuz 99% of CL'ers here only request price without buying... theres too many FLAKERS here and too many LOWBALLERS here...


btw theres companies that sell HID kits for $25 with lifetime warranty.
