My experience is 1 in 4 orders will get kicked to backorder and delayed 2-4 weeks. The online system does have some faults with "available" indicator. Last one was a YHM part and it did show up after 3 weeks.
Two points on "deal"and feedback I have absorbed in my trader days here:
1- you must set a meet, a time AND place, to have a deal. Personally I require an agreement on the price also before I leave the house.
2- I have not tested this but apparently feedback applies to showing up for the meet...
This plus you are also agreeing to the price or trade value along with the meet, with the caveat that the item matches the description and pics. Otherwise this unwinds before it even gets started.
However, if i were selling a true collectible I would would expect some scrutiny. A true parts...
Dodging clear answers on specific questions, especially about the deal or the price = I am out!
Oh and a recent one is FNGs in the buyer role and asking for delivery an hour or so away.
There are some thing in life that are beyond reason:
- why we drive on parkways and park on driveways
- why ODT in general loathes .40 cal
- why i feel compelled to buy .40 anything just because it is a great deal when I already have 2
This is something one just accepts and if you want to sell...
