Costs more for coast to coast than in the same zone. That's not new. Give the seller five digits. 90210? It'll be XX dollars and XX cents. Easy.

I liked the part where you wanted him to tell you what the applications for this knob were, talk about not doing your homework.

@ 65madgoat:

How does any of this back and forth help you?

With every subsequent post you make, you only serve to discredit yourself as a "buyer" on this site.

I gave you links, please just use one and move on.

There are plenty of parts and people out there who are not on this forum. Please.

If someone can't simply respond to an offer in a timely manner I can go elsewhere. If you don't like it, fine.

I was truly upset that a counter or reply could not be given in a PM in a timely manner. Instead the seller got butt hurt and ignored me only to flame me days later for gosh forbid offering full price with ~$5 shipping to be included.

Remind me to never deal with certain people who think the part they have been hoarding for decades is the only one available on the planet.

And let me end in saying this. I am most upset with the perception now that I am cheap after being called out in the listing post that I "wanted" shipping to be free.

Please. I am more than fair in all my dealings. I was simply offering and sort of mirroring a seller who insisted on a money order and had just one low ball offer in hand. Just don't ever call me cheap when I have hooked up more Pontiac guys with killer parts at great prices forever and pay what it takes to get good stuff.

Man, your panties are really bunched up. What color are they? Pink? Maybe lace for such a special occasion?

Most buyers who don't know what they are looking at and want a "deal" are usually going to resale the item in question.....at a higher price!
