this has come up before and again lately. some people complain about how other members jump in and bash their cars in for sale ads without knowing *anything* about the car. they've never seen it in person but believe it's only worth half what the seller is asking and they go ahead and bash the guy into the ground.
mind you, they also never had any intensions of buying the car in the first place ... so, the question has been raised: should only the seller be allowed to post in his own ad? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Andy |

I voted NO. I also have purchased a non running 914 600 miles away using the 914club classified. Was I happy. Yes and no. The buyer should always be wary when buying anything they can't inspect themselves. PPI is cool but sometimes the view can be very different from what is expected by your own eyes.
I feel spending $$$$ for a classified item allows me some merit to say that replying by online posting is essential between seller and buyer so that what is written can be seen by others and that is in the right part of the 914club, the classifieds. Doesn't really stop a buyer from getting stung but some sellers may be inclinced to be more honest if it is discussed openly. MikeCool |
