    So when you contact someone saying you have cash in hand and to consider an item sold you would think the buyer has done some research and has found that this product is what they want. It is a HUGE waste of the selllers time to give them your phone number and then proceed to ask them what the benifits of heads are and if they would be good for their build. Jessus christ if you dont even know what turbo you are going to use for your build then you dont need to go out and buy random **** and waste a seller's time by asking them what you need for your build... Yes most people are more than willing to give some helpful tips but in the end its your build and you need to do the research. Dont waste someones time saying you have cash in hand and then proceed to say that you should hook them up with free parts and give them other things for free my god.

    selling my car was a lot easier but i did get a few phone calls super early from people saying theyd come pick it up the next day with cash... its super frustrating to get people asking you to consider it sold and then not really seem to care at all about getting the sale over with.

    I sat around on a Friday night waiting for a supposed buyer. Never called or anything to say he wasn't coming. That's pretty rude, but what do you do?

    Why do you think I'm happy the GMBCS is discontinued? I can't count the wasted trips to and from places.

    But why would you want to waste all that time reading about stuff when you can just buy it and bolt stuff together? Who cares what it actually does as long as you can brag about it!

    That was the single best shipment I've received in the mail to date. A GMBCS, AND an oatmeal cream pie.

    I've had that happen as well. I've also been on the other side of the fence as too. I talked to a seller and we agreed to meet up at a gas station to view his car(FS). He never showed up and wouldn't answer his phone after that. I mean, damn, how hard is it to give someone a 30 sec call.

    So should we at the dealership, rant about space invaders calling with stupid questions? They ask lots of questions and don't buy many things... Should we start telling them to stop wasting my our time?

    I think if you can handle just a few minutes of answering questions your gonna have a better chance of selling parts...
