I've been a buyer and seller of parts here and, for the most part, the experiences have been very positive. There have been times where items I've thought I made a deal on have been sold out from under me, and in most of these circumstances, I suspect it was because of money. I try not to get too upset about it, as there are always more Porsche parts to buy. I also find it hard to fault a seller who may have underpriced an item, and when realizing the error, takes the opportunity to obtain more of a "market" price, as many of the regulars here (myself included) know a good deal when we see one and even if we don't have an immediate need, can buy a part knowing that we might make a few dollars if it isn't needed down the road (Eric's Fuchs purchase example above being but one of many). That's also why, if I see a part that I know I need for a project that I am working on, I contact the seller and clearly indicate that I will take it. I'm also mindful when I make an inquiry on an item for sale, as I recognize that there is a difference between "I'll take it" and "I'm interested" or "I'll take it if it fits, if shipping isn't too much, etc." As a seller, I'm not sure most other buyers understand this distinction though. While there are some buyers and sellers here I won't sell to or purchase from because of my past experience with them, the number is pretty small.
