Well lets see, I did reply to your PM last week. Here is my exact reply I sent you, copied from my Sent PM box:
I haven't sourced the ball joints myself. He'll have to do that.
And I feel my asking price is pretty reasonable considering these have never been installed.
He could have had them had he gave me my asking price. He lowballed me, I politely replied to your PM immediately saying that I felt my asking price was fair. You did not reply to my PM. You did reply with a comment on here saying your buddy was still interested (your reply said nothing about him willing to pay me the asking price, so to me it sounds like yeah he's still interested for his low offer which I already said I wouldn't take). That was at the same time I was putting up my ebay add. I came back on here and posted up that they were now on ebay. If he still wanted them he could have bought them on ebay. Later on someone on here PM'd me saying he would give me my asking price. Ended the ebay auction early as it had no bids, and sold them to him.
Sorry your buddy missed out.
My opinion as far as prices set in stone. Sure, nothing is set in stone. But, when someone is selling something for an already extremely fair price, I personally, find it a bit annoying when someone feels the need to just try and get a little bit more. I'm not a salesman, or a dealership, or someplace with some huge mark-up on parts I'm selling. I'm a fellow DSM guy, looking to get rid of some stuff from my garage, and put it up at a VERY fair price. So it's annoying when you are already putting things up for cheap, trying to give another fellow DSMer a good deal, but he feels the need to just try and better an already good deal. And I know I'm not the only one on here who feels that way.
If you would have replied to my PM saying that he was still interested, AND was willing to pay the asking price, they would have been his. I sold them to the first person who gave me my asking price.
So to summarize. I put up stuff for cheap. Your friend low balled. I replied and said nope. Another person offered me my asking price. I sold it to the first person who showed me the money. End of summary.
