LMAO, Not really but i had too put that in the title. I love this sight, the amount of knowledge is incredible,so kudos to all for that good stuff. I have bought quite a bit also from this sight, but as of lately there are people who are either on drugs or need to be on them for the prices of some of the stuff. Also NOS means NEW OLD STOCK , not NICE OLD STUFF. :shock:

NOS is Nasty Old SH!T.

BTW... it's SITE, not sight. ;)

Can someone be on drugs for wanting too much for their drugs?

Mon Apr 30, 2012 8:18 pm

in the split bus forum, there are 1501 pages of whines about buses and parts for sale.....yeah, 1501.
That's 1501 pages of people being cited for their prices being out of sight on this site.

hmm I see. well sofar, almost everything I have bought hear was shit, well for the first 2 years or so it seemed that way, it all went into the junk pile including some new 044 heads that were machined rong&afu. but lately this past year only 1 guy has got me on some "like new or new"shit that went into the garbage, but the 2 sets of forged pistons I got cheep(1 set new)and the 75 chromoly pushrods,2 sets totalseal rings (1 set on the pistons & he didnt even say they had rings)a bently manuel,and a pile of other stuff was all good at a great price!! I did get screwed by a thief in PA on some trans shit,from his trans shop,witch all I can figure is his bedroom or might be his workbench in his laundry roomwho knows? but that was my fault,I ordered it from him.it was a good lesson though, if they cant even spell or right in a manner that I can decypher what the hell is being said,it's my own dam fault.I even sent it to a italian friend to try to figure it out,I guess we were both rong.it was a good lesson & worth the $108+the shipping the junk back to him for him to send it back to me (and yes he stands behind everything.witch means he is smiling when he gives it to the mailman,at the same time he was "giving it to me"I did find out you can buy genuine timkin bearings made in the usa from autozone in stock much cheeper than junk from an assholethief in elizabeth PA.

i knew it wouldn't take long before he got called out on that one

truth is its all going up, ill quote someone on a complete rubber kit to do a VW and they say....."how much?" when folks complain about prices i ask, "how much would you sell your car for?" they ALWAYS reply with some over inflated price. so then i ask well arent these mirrors worth a measley $$$? in the whole scope of things its a good deal. so yeah stuff can be costly, but again its NEVER going down in price. yes some are on drugs too. remember this is a hobby for pleasure and the cost can be high but gratifying.

Mon Apr 30, 2012 10:06 pm

and the cost can be high but gratifying.Thats a great line. Im still LMAO :lol: :lol: 8)

I'm glad someone said that, I'm the guy standing in the corner listening to all this thinking in my head, "Really?"

Mark, You will find your FLAPS (friendly local auto parts store) will have most of the parts you are looking for either OEM or something equivalent to that. If you do not like the quality upon pickup, they will take it back.

How's the view from your glass house? see what I mean, it changes everything.and that was nothing compared to him. do you know what pledges are?there apparently in a irs trans somewhere. spelling is one thing but this guy is way out there. he was even mfing my wife when I told him he sent the rong parts(and yes wrong is spelled rong, thats how wrong the parts were,and junk parts too).I figured somebody would catch that one first.never seen any flaps with vw nose cones, and other assorted trans parts.
I do however spell things incorectly from time to time to keep the out of work spellen teachers sharp, as they have no other usable skills from what I can see. (r)

What you smokin cuz? Whatever it is, you always hit the nail right on the head. How is that even possible??? Couldnt agree more, Everything is going and has gone up yet $10 bucks an hour is still the average joes pay rate. That hasnt changed in 15 years. There is something wrong with the big picture IMO..

im actually from wilmington 90744 in los angeles CA.

average joes gettin $10 dont have bugs anymore. if they do they are super beetles. oil and petroleum keeps going up and the RUBBER products follow as well. as a whole many have forgotten that iphones, apple tablets, weed, video games, fixie bikes and all the new shit is super expensive, so when i hear grown ass men cry about the price of a part for something they supposedly love, i have no heart. dont get me wrong , i have a heart but not for the guy making 35 an hour and wants to return a fucken $18 dollar part.
