What is with all the super LOW post offering cars for sale ?

afterburn 549 · 09-12-2014, 05:12 AM

Not sure how they got here or know about this place.
Is their only mission in life to sell a car ?
Maybe they are a dealer?
If they are a dealer, should Wayne not get a cut?
Next is the very low post offering stuff for sale. ( red flag to me )
If they are in a business here I think he should get a %.
Mods what do you think?
Should we click the red triangle ?

Yeah maybe there should be a 10-post PARF requirement before someone can place a for sale ad.

Or maybe you should be required to send in a video of yourself pronouncing "Porsh-UH. Porsh-UH."

If it's too good to be true...

On the other hand, if you see a post from Nigerian royalty who offers you a boatload of money if you can assist with a wire transfer, let me know -- I'm looking for a new investment opportunity...

OK,
If i was in business and someone was making money off me (parasite) I would want a cut.
simple.
The regular paul porsche guy here is at least maybe a customer of Wayne once in awhile.
I know if i advertize somewhere I have to pay. Pay Through the nose.
I would think making $$$$ off someone elses website ...is very car sales men like..like green slithering slime, like most of them are.

It sort of looks like the real estate market, people trying to sell overpriced property and just hanging it out there to see if someone bites.

It's amusing. The interesting thing is that most don't seem to be moving or even get replies.

LOL
There are some very "hopeful" asking prices there..............

Consider the possibility that the random low post car advertiser is providing content to Wayne for free. Customers of Pelican Parts come to the site to view for sale ads. They encounter banner ads in their search for a vehicle to buy. No one is getting over on Wayne.

From the add

"THE HARD LANDING ITSELF DID NOT DO ANY DAMAGE TO THE CRAFT THAT WE ARE AWARE OF, AS THE LANDING GEAR ABSORBED THE SHOCK PROPERLY, HOWEVER, THE ROTOR RPM WAS LOW, AND THE MAIN ROTOR BLADES SAGGED DOWN TOO LOW, AND HIT THE BASE OF THE VERTICAL FIN.

THE IMPACT OF THE MAIN ROTOR ON THE LOWER PORTION OF THE VERTICAL FIN STARTED A CHAIN REACTION OF EVENTS.

THE MAIN ROTORS BECAME DAMAGED AND UNBALANCED, WHICH CAUSED THE MAIN TRANSMISSION TO WOBBLE IN IT'S CRADLE. THE MOUNTING CASTING BROKE, WHICH ALLOWED THE WHOLE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY TO MOVE, WHICH DAMAGED THE STAINLESS STEEL FIREWALL, PUT DENTS AND CRACKS IN THE CARBON FIBER CEILING, AND SHOCK LOADED BOTH ENGINES.

THE TAIL ROTOR DRIVE SHAFT BROKE, THE FIBERGLASS UPPER COWLING LOST A HUNK, AND BOTH TAIL ROTOR BLADES SUSTAINED SOME VERY, VERY SMALL DENTS. ALL MAIN ROTOR BLADES ARE DAMAGED, AND MUCH OF THE ROTATING ASSEMBLY IS DAMAGED AT LEAST SLIGHTLY

BOTH PRATT&WHITNEY PT6-207C ENGINES HAVE SUSTAINED DAMAGE FROM THE SUDDEN STOPPAGE OF THE MAIN ROTORS

WHAT DIDNT GET DAMAGED? WELL LOTS !!

THE CABIN ONLY SHOWS A FEW CRACKS IN THE CEILING, NO HOLES OR DEBRIS PENETRATED, SO THE LIKE NEW 8 SEAT INTERIOR IS UNDAMAGED (REMOVED FOR INSPECTION OF THE CEILING, BUT WELL PROTECTED AND STILL IN PERFECT CONDITION!!!!!)

THE MAIN MAST MOUNTS IN THE CEILING APPEAR UNDAMAGED, AND IN PROPER ALIGNMENT. (THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT IF YOU PLAN ON REPAIRING THIS HELICOPTER !!

ALL OF THE LANDING GEAR SYSTEM LOOKS UNDAMAGED !!
(NOTICE THE FUNNY BOLT-ON ITEMS ON THE MAIN GEAR. ONLY USED TO HELP THE HELICOPTER FIT INTO A STANDARD CONTAINER FOR SEA SHIPPING) PRETTY INGENIOUS !!!

THE ENTIRE CABIN, INCLUDING ALL DOOR GLASS AND WINDSHIELDS ARE COMPLETELY UNDAMAGED AND ALL 5 DOORS FIT AND WORK PERFECTLY, NO DAMAGE VISIBLE FROM THE GROUND TO THE MAIN FUSELAGE EXCEPT THE FIBERGLASS ROTOR MAST COVER !!!"
Other than that she's Cherry! LOL!

Exactly. If one out of ten forum users eventually orders something from Wayne, that's more effective than most other forms of advertising. Personally, I repay my forum use by ordering almost exclusively from Pelican, to the tune of thousands of dollars worth of Porsche, Mercedes, BMW, and Mini parts. I think he's getting his money's worth.

afterburn 549 · 09-12-2014, 09:09 AM

Just a hard landing
No damage, purrfect ! LOL
well except tore the transmission out, sudden stoppage on the everything, all blades ruined,
Xmasn mounts broke.
NOW, - for the good part that is NOT broke - paper work is perfect imported from foreign country.
the cabin is in excellent shape except the holes where structure came through. ( LOL )
The two pilot seats are perfect ( may smell bad )
The electronics ( radios, radar, gauges avionics ) are perfect too !
* NOW, all this perfect stuff I have to at least wonder why it crashed......*
I am sure the electronics worked till the structure drove its hard point through everything.

Nice paperweight!
