I'm more offended at the people who think they can score authentic pieces for <50% of actual price of the items. Get a job, kids! lol

Yea this is true. At the same time if you own an item that cost you 2 thousand and you owned for 2-3 years that item has a change in value if the price on market drops to its affects the overall value. So I do agree but also feel the need to disagree depending upon the item/wear/value

Anything is worth only what someone else will pay for it. I know several people who have purchased MKIV Supras and resold them later on for much more than they paid originally.

No one is forcing anyone to buy someone else's products. It may be annoying, but that is how markets work. Maybe the seller of the JoeZ doesn't care if he/she sells it, hence the higher price. His/her item = his/her price. Don't like it, don't buy it.

I don't disagree with you. Truth is we are all on this forum do to that fact that we all have an interest or passion for cars. We enjoy modding enjoy learning. In no way do I feel a person should get rid of an item for dirt cheap. But we are on a forum with the same interest point being if u got an item ur trying to sell at least figure what is a fair price instead of trying to say gouge the price of an item. That's my opinion.

Wow really? I actually feel sorry for the person who would have bought that lol That's insane!!

Yeah only few member will remember that hustle. When ask to drop the price he only dropped it under 5 lol. He did get banned for awhile and did end up selling it. But not a huge profit he wanted. As he bought them on the forum and try to flip for 5x the price.

Supply / Demand: this is a free market.

Seller will adjust their prices if they didn't sell.

There are other means/ways to find parts: Craigslist / Ebay....etc.

I personally don't fault the sellers at all...If they mark up the price and get a buyer for that marked up price then that good for the seller...if the seller does his homework then he won't over-pay for an item....

Shoot I bought a f-sport shift **** for my car for $3 more than what i could've gotten if for from Sewell with my discount...they were both brand new but I didn't do my homework so I paid $3 more than i should've...

It's just a matter of you researching before you buy...
