i love it b-man i post the same parts you have and sell them in a day then you delete my posts because you want to rip off members by raising prices on your parts thats why i sell parts for the real price like the 481733 manifold for $80 not the price your trying to get and it sold in a day and then you deleted the post because you wanted to sell your parts for more and rip off members. ywe need a real moderator that does not rip off members and deletes posts if b-man has the same part and he tries to sell for more what you don't want members to see what the real price of parts are not your inflated prices. what a good guy you are.

wow you really rip off people intakes are $80 not $100 you mark up parts people like you damage the auto industry. suspend me i dont care i will just start a new member. i don't like what you do i posted the same intakes as you and sold them in one day and you removed the posts so you could only have your intakes on there and that people could not see the real price. people like you suck. i'm going to talk to performanceyears and get you removed from the moderator.

[marxjunk]

take a breath..calm down..

all that matters is you sold your parts..i can ask 500 for the same stuff..if yours sells why bother...its called capitolism..or free market...let it go..

those intakes have been brining 100 bux for years..i see them priced all the time for that, if you choose to sell yours cheaper, its just that... your choice..hes been trying to sell them for 6 months at least..


Barts a good guy, you just may be having a bad day...check and see if its been moved to sold parts..

http://www.gtoman.com/shipping.php i'm not lying you need to check your facts. you will see what dale is talking about fed ex you need to see the crank that fed ex delivered to him and tried to make him accept. and he even says he will never use fedex. you want to get my thread locked and get me in trouble with py why don't you take a look at the fed ex box and the destroyed crank. and i'm calm i don't like people that artifically inflate the prices of restoration parts. and you need to goto:

http://www.fedex.com/us/fedex/shippi...ge/ground.html

and you will see the shipping zones that is why it was the same price shipping 9779073 water neck to you in MO and to NJ. even if you are only one state away.

i don't rip anybody off that is the price they quoted me now you can see the same price by 7 pounds you will come up with $17 shipping. i'm not going to fight with you you flip parts to make money i don't. you find cheap parts like the $15 pulleys and then flip them for $30 dollars people like you are bad for the restoration industry. thats why part flippers get a bad reputation so don't say i'm having a bad day people like you are bad for the industry. and this is why it is sooo expensive to restore cars. you just want to charge as much money as you can for any part and not sell it for what it's worth.

[DODGER]

yeah 6 months of holding on to parts someone can use everything i sell goes within a week. i hope he pays alot for storage or taxes on a barn for all his parts who really wins selling for more just to pay your storage or taxes to the irs on your property? thats why parts are marked up to pay for the place where the parts are stored unless he stores parts in his house and i'm sure the wife loves that one.


and it's not called capitolism it's called ripping people off.

i would love taiwan or china to reproduce every pontiac part even the engines then we will see capitolism. and very poor parts thats why i only use original parts and the gtoaa and all the car clubs should deduct points for repop parts on show cars.

i can show you a original 9799127 XF pulley original and then show thepartsplace repop where the number 9's and 2 are different and the stamping is too deep. piss poor repop parts and hood hinges also your hood falls down they are not strong enough to hold up the hood. i hate repop's they are of lesser quality and made in china or taiwan.

every repop part i've seen is not up to quality like pontiac original parts from the 1960's and 1970's, that were made in USA, repop's are what i like to call piss poor parts.


i've restored a 1969 judge and took 20 years to get all original parts and there is no comparison to a 1969 judge with repop parts the hood falls down it will not stay up with ram air. the pulleys have different stampings numbers are not the same and too deep stamped too hard. the concours judges should be able to recognize repop parts and deduct points for them.

you want to see capitolism where are the billions that dissapeared on the tarmac runway in iraq thats capitolism.

just like every store out ther they want to charge as much as they can so they price items the same at each different store and the dumb consumer just goes along with it.

we are headed backwards this would of never happened generations ago. it's just that we have lost morals.

Congrats on your ability on selling your parts fast.
As far as your rant against b-man, why would it matter to you? What he does in his personal life and how he stores what he has to offer effect YOU in any way? If he does by chance have to pay extra for what ever, SO WHAT? How does this effect YOU? Do you have the stones to say these things to his face? If you can't say it to someone's face, it doesn't need to be said(typed) on here....You need a life, hobby or something... Like it has been said before... LET IT GO.....

[DODGER]

i'll talk to him in person at the gtoaa nationals here in colorado and voice my opinion with the gtoaa and their standards of judging concours cars. i'll be there see you all there. don't even go there with balls. also your all old people that will be gone long before i'm gone so enjoy your mark ups on parts. wow all these senior members and cheif ponti-yackers. all the same. mark up your parts all you want it's just hurting the industry thats why these cars don't get restored because the parts mark up, and the value of a regular gto is not worth paying to restore thats why only ram air and judges and rare cars get restored.

and then what happens if you have a stroke or heart attack and die and have all the parts just laying around who is going to sell the parts your kids it's assanine just ripping people off just to make a buck. people even barry engine blocks in their back yards.


it's called artifical inflation not capitolism.

i'll be glad to talk to you Nicks67GTO see you at the nationals in loveland colorado i want all of you to come to our great state. and see for yourselves.

[pnypwr]

Do you think this is unique to pontiac? Every car line that people restore and play with the cars has the same thing...but there are many factors involved here...A it could be a business, he may have overhead, has to buy parts/cars and he may clean them up to turn a profit... capitalism at its best. B. supply and demand I hope I don't have to explain that one. C Caveat Emptor ( buyer beware) its his stuff he can charge whatever he likes, if you don't like it don't buy it. And im sure there are other factors involved...

Now if he deletes your post to push his own parts... that's just dirty and no excuse for that behavior.

Repop parts have their place, not everyone is building a 100 pt judge and some people want to use their cars. If a repop pulley is a phone call away, and an orig is 3 mos of searching then refinishing etc...why not your back on the road in a day or two, some people don't care if its hecho in chine...I prefer oem stuff but im not made of money and if I want to add ram air to my non ram air car id buy repop if it works I don't need oem unless I find it and can afford it. And really your have a GM product you should be grateful you have parts availability! I have a few american motors cars and the parts available for the entire car line during its whole existence is maybe 1/3 of the parts available for a GTO. Fact is they made an awful lot of these cars so there is a demand for parts as allot are still around ergo repop parts are needed as gm isn't making them anymore.

[ITSBACK]

I bought a set of Edelbrock aluminum heads from B-man a couple years ago that were brand new in the boxes all packed inside another set of boxes and they showed up perfect and got a real steal of a price as a matter of fact. And to be honest, I didnt have all the cash for them up front so he let me pay him off over the course of a couple of months which he didnt have to do. As far as charging $20 more for an intake than another guy would, who gives a rats ass, keep looking. The deal with deleating posts, well I cant touch on that because I have no clue, maybe thats something that you and he need to discuss amongst yourselves because that seems to be a personal problem. Now you can go back to bragging about your cars again, Im 44 by the way if that helps.

[DODGER]

not bragging about cars just telling that they are all original no repop. parts. and good for you with him letting you pay over time i just don't like the fact that i sell 2 intakes for $20 less in one day then he deletes the post because he has the same parts i think thats crap and when people look to see what the prices should be for the parts they get the artifical inflation costs of part flippers.

yeah edelbrock you can't mark up something you can get overthecounter today. not original gto heads also, but hey he worked with you, happy days

[ITSBACK]

The Edelbrocks were a few hundred less than over the counter and came with a set of brand new ARP studs so they were way under price.Look, we all get what your saying and if deleting posts is going on for the reason your saying well thats not cool. As far as selling parts here, I can personally say that it always a crap shoot and timing is everything. I would list an intake for $120 to give some bargaining play because nobody wants to pay for anything, we all want it for free as we are all trying to build our cars and need the cash. I want the most I can get for any part because I gotta get my car done just like you and all the rest of us. I have listed parts on here and NEVER sold them and have seen the same part go for more than I was asking 2 days later because I didnt bump it or the guy who bought it from the othe guy looked 2 days later. Bottom line is, if B man wants $100 and your happy with $80 and a quick sale then just keep pricing your stuff to sell as you are doing and let him take his time and stick to his pricing. But in the mean time you need to contact Bman and work it out. Good luck with it all.

[DODGER]

i want to meet him not contact him. he can come to the gtoaa nationals in loveland colorado and im in castle rock so i will be there and all my cheap parts too. see i own land and don't pay storage or taxes on a barn it's a business and a tax write off. and everything is paid for so there is only utilities no overhead costs. or i'll go to some car show near him and meet him in person.

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.

[DODGER]

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.

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?

Thats fine and dandy so you need to stop bashing him on the forum then because thats not cool either and that hurts the hobby as well. And now we know why your parts are so cheap, thats good for you. Good luck and as my good friend Paul always says God Bless.
