D/s Taillight needed asap Reply #18 – April 20, 2007, 07:32:14 PM May 19th isn't ASAP, it's Ground. Which was $23-$29 dollars by those 3 shippers with insurance. So $65 shipped if you want it by next month. Quote Selected

D/s Taillight needed asap Reply #20 – April 21, 2007, 01:26:59 AM The same package that Aerobird Motorsports is telling you will cost $23-$29, can be shipped by FedEx for $13.68 ground, that means you'll have it in four days. And that price quote is to ship it from his zip code to yours, so I have no idea what he's quoting...... Quote Selected
D/s Taillight needed asap Reply #21 – April 21, 2007, 07:14:08 AM He just gouges everyone on this message board by custom-making obsolete parts then charging too much for 'em. Gosh!:shakehead:shakehead:shakehead Quote Selected
D/s Taillight needed asap Reply #22 – April 21, 2007, 08:30:03 AM I don't have a problem with someone custom making parts that are no longer available and charging for them. As for gouging them on the price, you can only charge what the market will bear. Do I think $40 for a busted taillight is expensive, Yes. Would I pay it if I needed it, Yes, I guess I would, if I had too. I thought it was the price of the shipping that was being debated. I think Mike at Areobird Motorsports assumed that 88Turbo wanted it asap and was quoted prices for faster shipping, at least I think that's what the problem is, besides the fact that he'd be paying $40 for a busted taillight which I don't think he wants to do. If I had seen 88Turbo's posting a week ago, I could have sent him a pair of nice taillights for a turbo coupe but I told someone that I would hold them for him to get back from his honeymoon. I sell parts on the turboford site and on this site, but I give away as much as I sell. As a matter of fact, I have a 5.0 radiator overflow bottle for a thunderbird that Areobird Motorsports is looking for, all boxed up ready to ship to him, and I've never done any business with him. I told him the bottle was free, but after reading this thread, I'm gonna have to charge him at least $200 for special handling and shipping...........LOL Quote Selected
D/s Taillight needed asap Reply #23 – April 21, 2007, 08:36:54 AM I think you're probably right about the faster shipping. I just hate it when people come down on seller's for charging too much for shipping, but they'd be even MORE pissed if thier merchandise came to them in pieces. I know it was upwards of $80 to send a pair of taillights to a guy up in Canada using USPS. I dunno... I guess if you don't want it that bad you won't pay the price for it. I think Micheal seems like a guy who pays attention to detail and probably would do everythign in his power to ensure the piece arrived just that, one piece. Oh well, though. Ease up on ABM and let's all be a happy ****in' family. Quote Selected
D/s Taillight needed asap Reply #24 – April 21, 2007, 09:16:34 AM First, How the hell do you type so fast......It took me about 30 min. to type that post, and I hate to type. Second, I hate shipping stuff more then I hate typing. The last thing I want is to have someone e-mail me saying that their stuff is all busted up, I make sure what I send arrives in one piece. I don't do it myself, but if I was buying something from someone and they said that they were gonna charge me more then the shipping costs just to wrap it up, I could understand it. Mike at Areobird Motorsports is in business to make money, he has to pay attention to details or he won't be in business long. I haven't said anything to ease up on him about. If he can make money selling parts on line, good luck to him, It's too much work for me........ Quote Selected

D/s Taillight needed asap Reply #27 – April 21, 2007, 01:01:31 PM $40 for a cracked tailligt, not a busted one. I'll take a pic for you. If I didn't tell you it was cracked, you wouldn't notice it. When I charge for nice taillights, they are NICE taillights. When I ship a box it has enough packing in it to not break (unless a UPS truck runs the thing over). He said he needed a cracked taillight ASAP. That tells me he wanted a taillight that wouldn't get him pulled over, within a week, which is what I quoted him for. If he said I'll take a busted to one by next month, then I'd a said pay the $14 Ground 2 week shipping and it's yours because a busted taillight is better then no taillight. Then someone tried to call me out on shipping, which I promptly proved them wrong on. Yeah, so this is my job. Making a little profit on the used stuff is what allows me to have the money to design and make the NEW stuff. I've been doing this for 3 years now and it takes a lot of work./rant Quote Selected
