i kinda like all responses to be a PM. I personally like to sort out the buyer that needs the part from the guy that just wants to resale  it

just my 2 cents.....wouldn't a "like" button work on some of the comments

As a seller, i have always gone with the first PM, most cases the buyer will also post in the ad "pm sent", but not always,  so i just go with the first PM.

As a buyer, i do both and hope for the best,  that way everyone sees my "pm sent" message, and from there i just hope im the first PM the seller gets, and like Don said, if i miss out, oh well, its just car parts after all!

But i know what you mean Jim,  it can get complicated, ive missed out on stuff, and i had one guy a number of years ago tear me a new ahole because he thought he was first in line, but was actually not.  and he got downright nasty for no reason, and we never had dealings with eachother ever again, and i really dont care.  

I just go with the first PM, and its kind of the honor system,   i mean, the first PM is a buyer with cash in hand, so why would i turn him down in favour of a second or third in line.

I forget which site it is that I read where they have a rule that seems to work well. You must post "PM sent" as well as send a PM when you are interested. That way it keeps the seller and the buyer both accountable because on that site I guess at one point there was a seller who's integrity was in question. I don't think we've had that issue here but I've always thought that's not a bad way to do it.

Bottom line is it's only car parts!

 i like car parts

Ive had people back out after agreeing to a deal but also offered me a lower price. I dont deal with them again, why would I, even if they had offered the same deal again, imho they cant be trusted. It was the only problem Ive ever had and it was someone on here Carl. Ive never said who it was.

The deal we made was fair and I sold it to someone else fairly quickly for the same money. Lifes too short to deal with aholes.

Interesting points. They all make sense. How about if you don't want to sell to the person no matter how much they would offer you. You can call me a prick but I've had a couple of those situation on here over the years and I even messaged them and told them why I wouldn't sell to them, I didn't like the way they did business. Seller is still in control but as a buyer you need to trust the seller but he may not like you and you can just keep looking! No harm done. We all have the same interests but it doesn't mean we would all want to sit around the same table and share a drink. Most of the guys, yes.

If I want something I always send a PM right away and post PM sent in the thread. Because Chances are the seller is going to see the PM first anyways because its going to show in their personal email, that they have a PM awaiting from a member. Unless they are subscribed to that thread/post they started to receive replies when anyone replies to the thread. If that makes sense..
