board-

i came in here a new member today after following a link from dragon posted in terrys swap forum. it seemed like a cool forum. i love the old time racer/bobber stuff, and seeing names like truth posting here was hip.

but whats with the people on the classified page? a dude is selling some parts, he has a part i need. a lot of his listed parts are sold, and there is the part i want and some nickle dime stuff left. so i make him a reasonable offer on the lot, and give him my zip for shipping. on the forum.

next thing i see, a guy comes in after me and buys the part i want out from under me. i really would expect the seller to get back to me before he sold to the next guy. i have been buying and selling parts for a hobby of sorts, putting a few bikes together along the way , and helping to get my spares out to anyone who could use them as cheap as possible. in all my years i have never experienced this kind of diss. and over 20 buck part!!!
the frukking ck suckers!! :mad:

i sincerly hope that be powers to be in this forum, well, i suppose their isnt anything anyone can do about this. it just pizzes me off to be "sniped" when i had perfect fair dibbs on a part i had been looking out for, and thought i was doing the seller a favor by offering to take the last of his 3 dollar items as well. it was a weasel play and i will have to just get over it. but i wont forget it. i hope other classified users here have more class. this really seems like a cool set up with all the best trimmings and focus on old hotrod bikes. but for my first experience here, total gay!!

I picture this guy, face red.....fingers hunting and pecking frantically....

This should be put in the "meltdown" archives.

haha, i think my 2nd post ever was "meltdown archive" worthy. when i found out my newley purchased bike was not the "gem" i had originally thought i came on here & bugged out. im actually more stoked about it now since i had to redo everything on it. now its all mine, and its gonna be tight. not a bastardized version of someone elses bastard.

I was part of that guys breakdown.Even after showing and telling him that I had been in contact with the seller from the beginning he still was fuming and didn't believe anyone.Hope he's settled down.Even as pissed off that I was with him at the time,I wouldn't want him to have a grabber over a $20 part.

It took some figuring for me to since this forum was different from the ones I have used elsewhere. If you PM a guy here and don't do a
"PM sent" to the guys on the board it is difficult to tell who got dibs. We all have been sniped and know how that feels. Although I did get sniped once (actually the seller played me and the other guy and the other guy won) and it turned out the motor was a real shiney POS.
I still would not have wished that on anyone. A man is only as good as his word no matter where you are.
