Deal?

[Bluechevy68]

Just curious what all you guys think. Are you guys more willing to give someone on the board a better deal than someone who is not? When I think about this question and consider how much the board members help each other I think I would.

I agree with you. I would rather pass on a deal or sometimes give it free to a board member. I have been helped by some of the members and try to help when I can. That is my opinion .

I'd much rather buy from a member but there are some that are here just to sell stuff and they are not "vendors." There's no problem with that, but I always consider how long they have been a member before purchasing.

I have given plenty of free parts to other member as well as sold my take off parts to memebers for a real cheap price so to answer your questions yes I would give a better deal.

I also try to help out fellow members when I can, don't really deal with locals that much where I live.

Being a new member, i would accept price breaks, but not expect them.
I definitely like to help others, and have been helped out myself. So i say help if you can
And return the favor as you can. Dollars last for days, friends will
Last forever.

Answering questions and giving advice takes time and effort. So, if I can repay that kindness with a little break in price of something or giving something for free, I will. Seems like the right thing to do, help those that help you.

I always list my parts on here first for a cheaper price then I can sell it on ebay for.
If they dont sell after a while I will list them on ebay.
I'd rather deal with members & give them a better deal.

I'd give members a shot at my trucks first & give them a better deal as well.

Good post and welcome aboard from a former Tennessean.

Several times a month, I ship out free parts to other members.

If it's a new guy, I check his posts to get a feel if he's serious about building a truck or just a hopeless dreamer. If he's serious, I give him the parts. Sometimes, if the parts I'm giving away are worth a decent bit, I ask the guy to become a supporting member of this site, and when he does, I ship the parts to him for free. This helps Josh and Liz, who have been damn good to me in the past.

If it's something real nice I have for sale, I still sell it cheaper than it's worth.

As I get older, I realize, what goes around, comes around.

There's no reason not to, really. I hate looking on Craigslist and seeing parts that people are price gouging, just because it is for a "67-72 Chevy truck". I've gotten to the point at garage sales we have, to price everything to sell, not make a bunch of money. I'd rather give it away for a little, than not sell it for a lot (if that makes any sense).

If someone I know needs something and I have it, I'm happy to cut them a good break or just outright give it to them.

Well said everyone. It reflects the same reasons I will spend a great deal of time tracking down tidbits of data or decoding nearly lost SPIDs. That is my way of giving to our community.
