Ha!
wow,
Well, i have 20th bag / kit incomplete i could let go of. This kit he has is nothing more than whats sitting in my trunk.
however,,,,,,,,,,someone needs to save me from myself on those floor mats.
Id pay a health price for them but thats not exactly what i expected. New is unheard of.
anyone have mats for sale?
I sent the seller a message. No matter how you dice it, the qty of 20ths running the road today represent the total people who "might" be interested in a purchase.
That's the guy that outbid me on those same mats two years ago. Only by like 20 bucks too, at the last minute. He got em for about $160. I too want those reallly bad lol. My passenger side is good but the driver's side one is pretty shot. I took em out long ago to at least not let em get any worse.
Spoke to the seller today and he remembered doing battle with you. He wanted you to know that it was more than just you and him but another guy that drove the price to outter space.
BTW,, this guy has a few NOS parts for our cars in the box.
On the 20th matt topic,,
the new matts in the box shipped from
"Auto Custom Carpets Inc"
and were assigned FoMoCo PN#4D47-732.
He also says his 20th (dads) came with a factory Kenwood Cd changer and thinks he still has it.
I know I asked this before, but can you other 20th people go out and look in your trunk ,, on the right (pass)hand side of the floor upper ledge near the tail light, see if there are holes in the carpet where something may have been mounted.
Interesting factoid here but this guy knows an elderly guy with a low miles 20th ,,,, as in less than 15k on it just sitting.
On a side note, the seller may soon have the one crown jewl for the 2Oth up for sale, as in you know what the crown jewel would be dont you ?
Paul
so I have full set of 20th turbines and so does this seller,, we were both asking why you run the 10holes? I think i remember you swapping them but that may be someone else.
the seller of the matts is joking about how I should keep the matts in the box,,, Im not hearing any of that cause they are gonna go in the car but each matt be in its own hard plastic sleeve so to speak. This is if we can arrive at a figure because as it stands now, and from what I have learned, he has something else I am far more interested in.
So Paul,, just sell me your matts, and then put that money up against the new ones. I dont have the disipline required to keep them in the original package.
that is some neat stuff! i bought everything pertaining
to a 25th anniv car years ago.the kit ,mats,mldgs, lamps
wheel centers,emblems,etc and still have it all.bad thing is
the car i was to buy was totalled a day before i went to
get it. mint, low mileage, 1 85 year old owner. at least he
didnt get hurt. he did give me 2 of the jackets still in the bag.
Ok so who is the lucky SOB that got the 20th stuff. The auction was ended early. Darn it. I was ready to start bidding.
I could get you my first kit minus most of the goodies if you like. I also scanne the book that came with it. Its up on coolcats as well.
Shame, someone did a side deal to get the mats and the kit.
nope , no side deals at all.
I seriously considered buying them but the price he had was just a feeler i guess. I contacted the seller on the 9th and he called on the 10th. For that much money, im not doing a thing till i know theres someone out there for real. when i bid on something , i generally just contact the seller and let them know i dont do paypal but im more than happy to do M/O or wire to make the deal and basically to make contact as well as to isnure this is ok with them. Ive never bought a thing from anyone here or ebay without talking to them.
I told him i wasnt able to consider that "buy it now" price but please call me back after the auction if they dont sell and let me know what you need for them. sometime between that call and mid day today, the auction ened. I got a call around 11:30am 12june today EST and i asked him what what going on. I suspected he did find the 20th up near him and a deal had been made so all those goodies are gonna get put to good use and that was the reason for stopping the auction.
Instead he called to make me an offer so i took it. click click submit and wire transfer complete. I will see what happens early next week as i should be getting packages.
I didnt bid cause I knew i would not pay that much. He said the auction wasnt doing nothing so he took it down. Maybe thats a good thing on ebay,, i dono. I didnt realize the wheels were that cheap,, told paul about it to, and they are still available. I have two sets and the seller and I just didnt want to hassle with them now.
It all sounds sleazy to me. I was going to bid on the bag.
?????????
no , you sound sleezy right now. your going somewhere you have no right, but you have chosen to based on new found knowledge that fueled post 10. I onlytold one person that i got a call and made a deal and you were not involved.
I don't know which edit to respond to, but I wasn't really talking to you per say, just expressing my disappointment that someone seems to have sniped the parts on the side.
what purpose does this serve?
stop expressing usless key strokes when a man has already explained what happened. there is nothing to this, it is what it is and nothing more. No trivial persuit, no crime , nothing. You have called me out three times.... stop. Theres too much documented to question the implications you have accused me of. The
someone at this point has been previously defined so its a useless application of the pr0noun and points to me as well as your calling me a liar, cheat, sneak and sleeze.
your a real pain sometimes, that makes two of us:D
1. He said he wasn't talking to you. Perhaps the "sleazy" he refers to is the seller.
2. Who made you the person who decides who can post where? No threats, vulgarity/porn, or insults were made. Because you feel an insult was implied does not mean it was. Besides, there are other posts in the thread that serve as "just shooting the breeze"
he was obviously talking to me when post 12 was created.
After reading post 11, and still having the lack of manners to post that "it""all""sounds""sleezy" is pointing to me.
saying what he did after i ran through the order of events points to me. Im not stupid,
you would think that after reading post 11, his post would have more along the "oh,, ok well how much did you get em for,, or "oh,,, i was wondering what happend to the auction, glad to see them go to someone here and not the trash".
nope,, even after i explained,,,,,,,,my explaination sounded sleezy.
No, but you ARE extremely paranoid IMHO. This is just another example of it.
Both you and Karl have gone at it before. I'm pretty sure he would let you know if he were gunnin' for you.
What part of "you got the bag - the only item I don't have for my 20th" don't you understand?
you being a cop and finding that to be a reasonable statement based on the above evidence provided is disturbing. He knew way back on post 10 that i made the deal,,,,,but you did not.
YOU to have yet another example of being the one to step in to other peoples issues. This aint cops man and your not a ref.
whats up with now having two members here diggin in on me hard?
what, no congrads or whatever,,, Lets add paranoid to the list:flip:
here ya go,,,, I finally got a little irriated and went through my pm's,,, pm eric or ZondaC12 and ask them the 5w's.
and I was going to be nice enough to post up the reciept of the wire when i get it in the mail,,,then it occured to me that I have always been a man of my word so i shouldnt have to.
I have a spare mostly empty and one complete in my trunk i recently got and this one coming. (3 total)
The bag on the matt deal became sort of a package deal or nothing so its coming.
make an offer........on any one of the three. All the 20th owners should have one.
If you think I'm diggin on you the you have issues. Then again I'm not surprised. Whenever you start a political rant and it gets locked -- rightfully so -- you feel you are being picked on.
You posted in a public forum -- for all to see and comment on should they feel compelled to.
I'll post where I please.
Don't pretend to know about what I do for a living. It doesn't help your stance on the issue.
here is the condition of the one i got early last year,,,,,still looks great. This way you can get one in your 20th also. I dont need three bags.
im not going to question that you are infact tryng to say something here, i just can connect it to anything you said before.
i mean,, like,,, where in any previous thread did you say this?>>
What part of "you got the bag - the only item I don't have for my 20th" don't you understand"If your answer is "i didnt", then its just a distractor with some odd purpose to make the reader think i misunderstood something prior (banking on the odds the reader wont look back to check).
Look man, there was no reason other than choice for you to post those comments even after i explained things. I didnt bid because of the "buy it now" price. I dont know much about ebay and i can only assume that if I dont pay the buy it now , the seller wont sell. Why bother bidding.
why didnt you bid? ahh,, you wanted to be one of those snipers didnt ya? wait till the last few minute and then bid.
Ah,, a sleezy sniper:rollin:
That's how 90% of eBay works, Scott. What exactly is wrong with it? When a seller's opening bid is disproportionately high, no bids should give him/her the message. Yanking the auction due to no bidding--especially with just a day or less left--reeks of crybaby.
Yep Eric, and as with any auction I bid on, if nobody bids until the day before the auction ends, I will put a bid in to at least get the process started. Only if someone else starts the bidding before this will I bid earlier than the day before. It was only then that I noticed that the auction had ended early. I came back here and expressed my disappointment that the auction ended early. Since I knew that at least one person had expressed interest in the parts (and that he would at least know another was "watching" the items), I made the assumption that someone had sniped the parts on the side.
Not only was my assumption correct, but the person that sniped them was none other than Scott - and now he's trying to turn the tables on me for being justifiably annoyed that he did this deal on the side (and yes, the word "sleazy" applies here, though I'm trying my best to remain civil.)
So after V8 demon jumped in and tried to stick up for you because you said you were not talking to me,,, you have shown that you were talking to me after all.
YOU lied to me and everyone on here.
Not only did you draw someones support in this but that person pointed out my being paranoid and having a problem.
,,,,,,,so for the record and I am surprised that I have no one supporting me on this.
Ask yourself who stopped the auction and why.
I did not stop the auction
I did not know the auction had been stopped until early morning friday (i think)
I did not bid
I did contact the seller about the parts via ebay message system
I did leave my call back number
I did make contact with the seller
I did talk to the seller
I did tell the seller that the qty of 20th owners are prob the only ones who will look at this based on the price.
I did tell the seller the price was out of my range
I did tell the seller that I wont bid because of the buy it now
I did tell the seller to get back to me after the auction if he cant unload the parts
I did not tell the seller to take down the auction
I did tell the seller to look in his storage for the other items we talked about
I did pm eric friday AM 12june asking if he bought stuff and he replied
I did pm zonda on this and a few other things
I did tell only ZONDA that i did get the parts during some pm mid day friday 12june.
I did get a pm back from eric saying he did not buy anything on 12june
I did get a pm from zonda asking me what was going on with this.
I did recieve a call from the seller apporx 11am 12june making me an offerI did tell the seller that we were all wondering what happened to the auction
The seller made me an offer out of nowhere so i secured the deal.
HOW is is possibe for me to have prevented this? Riddle me that batman?
What i do know is that i was never going to own a set of 20th mats ever.,, turned out to be wrong.
the only dishonesty i see here is you Cougar5.0. You have proven what i said all along. I dont really care about the whole mat thing now, its the conduct you seem to think i have conducted. Your totally wrong about it , i swear to god i did not do what you said. I wish you knew me better, i dont cheat at cards.
to be honest, i dont know what prompted me to pm eric asking him if he bought stuff. I think friday am i logged in and got a pm from zonda asking me what the deal was with the auction. either that or i logged on and saw this thread were someone asked who the lucky sob was.
either way, this thread went south.
I had no idea who did the side-deal until you admitted it.
Going back and reading, this was posted on June 10th. I had no idea what you meant, but it sounds like you were working on a side deal for the mats.
Cougar5.0,
I have a wonderful kit displayed if you want to make an offer on it.
OK, everyone got their points in...the thread really won't serve any purpose anymore so it's getting closed.
If there is anything additional please take it to PM with the intended parties.
That is all.
