Dodger,
Check here on the sold parts section, it looks like your intake ads were moved there as they should be once sold: http://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/...archid=3342111.

B-man does a great job moderating the classifieds which is pretty much a thankless job. Maybe a pm sent to him instead of blasting away w/both barrels on the forums here would be a better approach.

you must be b-man's friend and all of you sound like your working together to artifically inflate part prices. i've seen some of the ultimate warriors and chief-pontyacers buying up the cheap parts and flipping them for a profit. i only buy parts and restore them and do not mark them up when i sell them. and you get reciepts to show the price of the resto. distributors are a rip off here you can find most of them like 1111970 for $175 and everybody here tries to charge $375-$500 then it's $175 to restore and then shipping. i sold a 1111952 for $710 restored by ignition engeering and people are trying to sell cores for $600 when they buy them for $175-$200 this is crap and it's the reason the industry has a bad reputation.

yes thats good but i want to talk to him in person. he locked my post that shouldn not have been locked and sent me a warning. for telling the truth about some of the ripoff artists on here you people should sell your parts for what there worth and then more cars will get restored than crushed because it's too much$$ to get ripped off on parts that are artifically inflated just so they can make enough money to restore a car they have this is the problem with the industry and it needs to be regulated just like the oil companies.

this is just like the oil companies they just charge as much as they want to and we have no say but to not buy gas. that is the same with these parts and thats why there are cars just thrown together. with whatever parts can be found repop more than original.

why i want everyone that flips parts to make a quick buck to stop they are artifically inflating the price of parts yes i buy dist and alt and restore them but i don't rip people off on the sale and try to get a million dollars for every part.
every alt or dist comes with a warranty and is shipped to the new owner from the resto shop with reciept in their name. i see people selling "restored" parts without a warranty thats crap who did the resto? and what happens if the part works for a month then dies at least with a warranty i give from ignition engeerine you get a 1 year warranty in your name who else does this???

Isnt that the truth. You couldnt pay most people to do the job that moderators do on a forum this size.

Its a bunch of work just reviewing the posts, not counting the other work that has to be done...plus a barage of PMs I know they must get and deal with.

Maybe its time to reconize all the mods for the years of volunteer work that been done...

MOD APPRECIATION WEEK.... or something?
