@ littleoldman

Now it all comes together... "Greedy" "Trumpish" and your comment to the PO "Its you, not BAT" had nothing to do with Unobtanium.. but more on your ideology and hence your anger..

You seem to have a problem with capitalism - You don't mind giving a profit - but a large profit is bad.. Hence your disdain for wanting to list on BAT and your animosity towards Unobtanium..

To be clear, I wouldn't have sold you a 81K Porsche for 40K either (even if I bought it for 10K).. As a businessman myself, sometimes the large profits offset the losses or the months of work that go on between sales.. Isn't this an example of supply and demand you speak of (rear view mirror)- i.e. somebody else was willing to pay more than you..(Willingness To Pay principle)? That's how it works right?

Or do you think sellers are obliged to only make a certain percentage of profit? If so what is that percentage? Would you cap a person's income? Your comments leave me wondering.. as that would invalidate the supply and demand approach -"a fair price" does not adhere to the WTP principle (i.e. who determines "fair" if not the market)

I have no angle here - just curious - Am I in the right area? Or is this just a personal skirmish (a deal broken)?

I find this a little ironic considering if you check your for sale cars you've sold, or tried to sell at least 6 cars in the last couple of years, with license plates from three different states. Sure looks like you are trying to be a flipper.

Again, don't quit your day job....

well ... seeing as we all seem to agree on the littleoldman, i did notice that a set of 16" Fuchs is now on bat (2x7 and 2x8), with 6-7 yr old tires. Seems mine aren't as 'super rare' as these ... even if both size sets are available new on Suncoast. I still haven't received an offer here, but i am in no rush to sell. Eventually someone will want them.
-Also I have some other sets I was considering selling ...
*86 951 16" phone dials -only year made.
*A set of 993 Cup2 rims
...you guys can wax eloquently about their 'values' and whether or not they are BaT-worthy. Should keep the thread going for another day or two. It's been entertaining if nothing else!

maybe the BAT hierarchy believe the 15" fuch are somewhat obsolete due to tire selection. we know where they stand in our world here, but they may consider them a cookie cutter of sorts. just spitballing here.

I’m leaving the forum.
It’s boring.
I have the good people’s contact info.
This place is for the birds.
