First,never call me petty....you don't know me well enough to have that opinion....second,all I did was make a thread to sell a part.Read the FIRST post on this thread....just selling a part.It was you and others that started comments,which I replied to. I have never heard any complaints about any parts I've sold here. The last problem I had was I sent the wrong mirror to a member by accident. As soon as he let me know,I fixed it...stat.

I don't throw "petty parties".  If you look at every post I've ever made,you'll never find a "poor pitiful me" thread. I do all I can to help where I can, and treat everyone right.I've had attacks on me,and risen above them.I didn't sweat it. I won't change my selling on this forum for you as you may have implied I'm doing. Only for the speedo,and,if you read the first post,that was the plan all along if it didn't sell here....which I gave it a chance to do. I haven't changed anything for anyone at all. I stayed true to what I said I was going to do....before any comments from anyone were made.

I didn't say I was going to Ebay to sell everything from now on...I was stating that the speedo will go there....which it has. Everything else will get a first shot here, as always.

I don't believe that people have taken my side because they have done business with me.I also have done business with many here,but don't feel obligated to take their side unless I believe in what is being stated for whatever the subject matter.

I have a good history here,I feel that I've earned whatever "good" people have chosen to think about me. I don't expect anything from anyone.No-one here owes me a thing.The sheer fact that this thread has lasted this long has amazed me. This is the FIRST thread that went to  over nothing when I was selling a part (A LOT of parts).It's certainly not the intention as one can read by checking the first post. I've never seeked trouble here,or start any trouble that I can ever be aware of (someone else will have to judge that). I am more than fair to everyone. Even in the craziest of times here.

This needs a third party that has no bias to state what they see (a moderator),and then lock it tight.

My comment was in reference to the below quote from you, which did sound like you were sulking by suggesting you wont go through this again.  So, yes, you did suggest you would be changing your selling practices.

By the way, Vinnie, did a nerve get struck or something?

.I'm not going through all of this again for a speedo sell.Not worth it to me.Ebay is a click away,and a lot less complaining.

Go back and read the first post......where did it state that it needed to go this far? I merely put a part for sale, and,it's not even the part you were complaining about. It isn't here yet. A nerve struck....some what.If that was your goal. good for you. If not...well.whatever.

Sulking....not hardly. Annoyed,yes. This should be locked soon,but not soon enough. You have made this your personal "cause",and I think there has to be other things besides my thread you could apply yourself to. All this over a speedo I bought,and haven't received yet. Crazy stuff. You can pick,buttstuffyze,whatever,but it's a lot of  over a part that is mine,to do with as I choose,and in the end,none of your business what I decide to do with it......here,Ebay,whatever.Thanks for your time and effort.

Vinnie, I have no problem with what you do. You search and scour for good salable parts and sell them to this community at a profit. Sounds like a good businessman to me!

Thanks Bill.I do a LOT of searching,and My profit usually isn't that much after I pay for the parts,plus shipping,plus PayPal fees,or money order fees,postage with tracking.It all adds up.Salvage yard parts...slightly different.Still in the end,If I made a huge profit on everything,,the Sport would have been done years ago.LOL. One piece at a time.I've been waiting 10 months to get the a/c done.I'm getting close,but not quite. It'll happen.I'm hoping in the next two weeks.

I didn't go off on you.I made it clear what I was saying,and that it's real easy...buy it,or don't buy it.There really isn't any middle ground there.

I just want to say that I'm done with this thread. People can continue attacking me and make cute references if it makes them feel good.

Fact of the matter is, I've been taking care of a sick family member for 2 years and I do feel stress. I was interested in this speedo, for personal interest, to fix up my TC, to try and take care of myself. This entire ordeal is certainly not helping and the continued comments about me, for stating my opinion, certainly is py. I'm done with this thread. You can continue atttacking me for statingan opinion if It makes you feel good.
