What pisses me off?
I don't expect this post to be up for long
Some of you forum clowns that have no idea what a car is worth!
I am sick to death of reading your comments and 'advice' about what people should pay for cars that are listed on here and other forums.
If you have an opinion on what anyone has to sell or want's to buy, make sure you KNOW what that particular individual can expect to pay,not what
your personal idea of an educated opinion might be.
2 of you idiots calling me saying my very nice 58 beetle was worth $3500 to 4000 instead of the $6200 I was asking for it on ebay, just because it
wasnt totally original.
What are you, a moron or what?
Like I told you,how many rat cars and other pieces of rusty junk sells for $3500 to 4000 just because it's APPARENTLY totally original ?
I don't apologise for telling you where to go either
You know who you are,so keep your opinions to yourself if youre just out to make yourself look good to prospective buyers you idiots
My car has sold to one of the 6 people from ebay that were prepared to pay the full price

I agree with you whole heartedly!
The amount of "experts" on here that wouldn't know shit from clay is staggering & some of them are even in postions of admin .

Agree.. Wish I had said it..
Seems people who don't have the cash have big opinions and don't think for a minute about the strife they cause others.
PEOPLE.. If you don't intend to buy it.. We don't want to have your opinion..
AND if you don't have the cash.. Don't bid and win cars on Ebay!

A thing will sell for what people are prepaired to pay, if you are realistic about the price someone wil buy it, i agree about the experts commenting
on the price even though they have no interest/ability in purchasing it.

Agreed, if you are happy to pay the price don't bargain them down just pay it, it'll make you and the seller happy and everyone wins, the worlds
karma is in balance. Just pisses people off lowballing.

I agree. Market prices are a tricky thing to get exact. Desirability plays a big part. With an auction you need minimum of two bidders, and the price
will be the highest of the two. Desirability could be something as simple as colour. Imagine one buyer's mum used to have a car that colour, and the
feelings for it, and the desire to get one is so great they must have it. I know that is one example, but it shows that a single sale does not have to
reflect the market average, or the 'expert advice' that someone ho has not bought one of those cars in the last 5, 10, 20 years, or in some cases
ever.
So in my opinion I would say that people should say something like "I would pay $xxxx for one of those" instead of saying "That price is a rip
off". One is an opinion, the second is an attack on the seller. Yeah? Best way is to just let the ad run its course. Buyers should be able to make
their own decisions or get professional help.
I do appraisals for purchases for a particular model of car (not VW), and I am strict and honest, both in costs required to fix anything, and
realistic in regards to age of vehicle. People pay me for my time.

I also agree with all of the above and wish F.W. wouldn't publicly view their thoughts.
I have many a time thought that a car was not worth what someone was asking, but that is their problem if it doesn't sell.
I will admit, when I have seen something advertised as a particular thing, year, whatever and they have it wrong, I politely send them a message of a
PM on here and offer my advice to help them, not to belittle them.
Recently happened over on DSK, some FW jumped to his mates defense when I was also trying to help him out.
Think, before you post.
