MO Going to sell off and take a little time off I think... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**specialtyretail** · 05-05-2019, 01:50 PM

First off,,, NO ONE here has given me any issues. EVERYONE on this forum,,, well almost, has been great to deal with. I also sell on several other platforms and they have just become more hassle than they are worth in the last few weeks. Everybody wants everything for nothing, wants it shipped free, wants it there by tomorrow and even wants you to tell them how to install it. Thursday was the last straw, had three chargebacks on an auction site because the buyer did not know how to install the part, one did not get there in three days, and the other did not like the way the USPS handled a steering gear box. The part was fine, but the packaging was a little roughed up. I have to eat all three of those sales. Ok, dome pissing and moaning. I am going to sell off what little inventory I have left starting this evening, pricing it to sell. If you need anything i don't list, check my friend 70 OriginalRust as he is just getting started and has some stuff to sell. He is a good guy to deal with. Like I said, i am not quitting or leaving,,, just gonna try to take a break and get my head back into it. Oh yeah,, I need to sell some parts don 't I. Pair of wiper arms, $19.00 shipped. SOLD,,,, THANKS....

**specialtyretail** · 05-05-2019, 01:53 PM

This is beyond weird to me. Ive bought several things from you, zero problems. I know Ive asked you more than once how the heck you sell this stuff so cheap when shipping is such and expense and a drag lol. Your stuff is going to be missed ... But I don't blame you, something has happened to people, and I cant figure it out.

Sorry to interrupt your for sale thread =)

No need, everyone here has been great. It may just be me going through the "change",,, I have noticed I have not been wanting to play tennis or ride horses lately like some of those commercials say I can do at my time of the month.

**anew4961** · 05-05-2019, 08:06 PM

i wish you well i can only guess whats been going on i have dealt with some of the thing you were talking about sometimes people can drive you nuts good luck and THANKS FOR ALL THE PARTS

67ranchhand · 05-05-2019, 08:47 PM

I have never bought anything from you but I look at the for sale section of this site almost everyday. I look at every post you put up and also enjoy your titles. I think your prices are great. But I know how some people can be and it does become aggravating. Good luck. Take a break, regroup, and whatever works for you is the way to go.

**72 Super** · 05-05-2019, 08:55 PM

Fred, you have always been very easy to deal with and sell your parts very reasonable. I know ithis part of the business can be overwhelming at times. Hopefully things smooth over and you can can continue providing great items that we can alll use.

Thanks for all the kind words guys. I have always enjoyed the interactions with everyone here. Not quitting, just taking a break for a couple-three weeks or so. Got to get my head back in it. Thanks, Fred.

Terrysch · 05-06-2019, 01:28 PM

Fred,
I am pretty knew to this Forum. But from very early on, I have seen your postings. But what has really caught my attention is the respect this Forum has for you.
It is easy to write that you are considered one of the key, good sellers on this forum. Your selling threads are honest on condition and your prices are good.
There will always be some unfair buyers. Life.
Glad you are only taking a break Fred.
If you quit selling on the Forum, this Forum and it's members suffer a loss.
Terry
