As some people know I'm selling some wheels and other parts, and have sold some of them already. I'm offering a 10% discount to Aus300zx.com forum members only.... the reason? 2 fold: one is that I'm always happy to do forum members a favour, and the second is that they seem to be better people! All enquiries and items sold to forum members have been friendly and easy, whereas with other people I've had nothing but trouble. I've had: - someone complain bitterly because I wouldn't drive 1.5 hours to test fit wheels to a guy's Honda, even though I already KNEW the width (10"), diameter (19"), PCD (114.3), offset ("+17), profile (35) and clearance was totally wrong for his car, not to mention his is a 4 stud car and they are 5 stud wheels :angry: The only thing they had in common with something that would actually fit a Honda is that they were round! Despite all this he then told his friend with an S15 not to buy off me as I was offering such 'bad service'. - someone agree to buy an item COD, changed his mind while it was in transit and refused to pay, and I got stung with the shipping. - the last straw, yesterday I test fit some wheels to a car and the guy I very strongly suspect intended to steal them. Everything was fine until he insisted going on a test drive, but I could not come with him. I didn't want him driving off with 2 and a half grand of wheels with only his word that he'd come back... not an unreasonable ask I thought, but as soon as I said I wanted to come with he told me to take the wheels off... then he just left, didn't even say goodbye. There are a few other minor things that have pissed me off with people just being jerks. Anyway, I'm getting tired of it, just a small amount of decency and honesty is all I'm after and so far the only people I've been getting that from consistently seems to be Z people, hence the discount... I'd much rather deal with you guys. The items I'm offering the discount to are here: http://yoyo.its.monash.edu.au/~blipman/forsale Finally, some advice to anyone selling: be polite about it, but don't give anyone the opportunity to be able to steal your items. Make sure you've got a contact number and it doesn't hurt to stealthily take note of a license plate when someone leaves if they've been to your house. All common sense I know, but if I wasn't paying attention I think I'd be $2k+ out of pocket about now. Ben
I reckon you were right.... ...does sound like he was trying to steal them. Makes no differnce if you come with him less he was going to bolt. Good call, Ben.
