what happened to dealer hookups?

[///M42 sport]

There was a guy a while back with dealer parts hookups. I cant remember his name though.

Like most people with "dealer hookups", he probably got shitcanned 2 weeks into his job for giving freebies to all his online friends.

Everyone has dealer parts hookups at some point, the ones who keep it are the ones who dont go online and send shit everywhere.

The kiddies are always looking for a handout. There have been some good sellers of harder to find euro bits and such runoff because of the way people act around here. Like when someone tries to beat you down on the price of something in your FS thread and then winds up not buying it.

Get a clue people. You buy from people you know because you know them, not because of special favors.

I have more hook-ups for parts than the number of nights Heeter has been drunk during his college career.


I also buy from people I know, even if their price isnt the lowest, because I value their business and know how the transaction will go. Screw saving $1.28....

My point exactly. And the asshats on e30tech have run him off from selling there as well. Their loss.

People are greedy.. Oh well.

The 'dealer hookup' isn't really all its cracked up to be. The price that we get (cost + 10%) is about the same as the better online stores for most things.

Jordan I believe Greg left after your tirade at his slow delivery of the lips and then the quality issues you complained about when you finally got it.

No?

[Jordan]

I was not one of the people giving him endless shit about how long it was taking.

I was unhappy with the lip, as it completely didn't fit. Greg also protected the seller and refused to give anyone contact info to take it up with them directly. Because of that I feel alot of the crap resulting from people unhappy with the lips fell on him justly. He didn't give anyone the option of taking it up with the manufactuer.

Alot of money changed hands, and not a single person was genuinely happy with the lips. Several people actually managed to destroy them as well despite them being advertised as indestructable.

[parkerbink]

I stand corrected.

Meh, greg was a HUGE help in sourcing the parts for my european conversion. He may or may not have saved me money, I dont care, the point was he saved me working my ass off or getting fucked over by some crafty German. Court also helped me out. Same goes for Adam (caferacer), since shipping was cheap from AUS for some reason he and I also send stuff back and forth.

I dont blame them for stopping it. As they move beyond the few they have to deal with more and more bullshit.
