Thumbs up

Man , don't ruin a good thing . We can all gang up on the offenders . I personally don't have a problem with it and i'm in there quite often . This helps to keep the costs in check . Would you guys rather pay premium prices from the dealers . Not me , $5k for headers , something with no moving parts , somebody can kiss my poor azz shove em and blow smoke out of em . Ok i'm done .

Actually headers are at the top of my list on used items I would not buy.

I agree, I have 3 sets of used headers in my shop and would be afraid to sell them.

Why not pressure test and be confident you don't have junk ?? Some of us are still honorable and i'm sure this includes you ........back on topic .

I'll take em and tell everyone what a great guy you are lol, but you can pressure test them or even send them back to the manufacturer to be checked/repaired, sell them to recoup some of your expenses and someone else gets to buy headers at a reasonable price

Some of you that have pointed it out, your right, I am not a paying member, at this time, there is no advantage to me paying a LARGE company like IB to use their site, they make their money off advertisers not membership, I pay membership for numerous sites that are run out of people's houses......it helps them pay the bandwidth costs.....not make a profit.

I actually use some of the advertised companies products and services here so I AM contributing $$$ to the site, I just don't need to pay for a membership to post pictures......

My main point of this thread was not to bash the swap shop, it was to point out that SOME people are using it to flog items in order to make money, NOT to just get rid of extra parts that they have upgraded etc.....it is a VERY good place to find deals and buy parts that you normally pay through the a$$ to buy new, kudos for that but some sellers are stretching the intent of the Swap Shop.....JMHO......
