No, it happens all the time! All the PMing as if its a big secret. No one has a problem telling how much they paid but for anything else forget it.

So, in order to keep price set..they sometimes ask the one who got the deal, not to disclose the discount price.

2. When some people decide the like a mod, regardless of price. IF they post price....some people might tell them they got ripped off. It sucks to be slammed and told you are stupid for paying alot. People end up being haters...so people like to show off what they have done, but are not so forthcoming when if comes to the money factor.

well said mag! I completly agree..I think alot of u need to realize that this isnt ebay! some sales are put in the open and 85%of the sales on here are not in the open, and then someone finds out that a sale took place and u get but hurt cause u want to know the price! If the sale was public im sure they would tell u the price but it wasnt so its really none of your damb business!
so If a member decides to sell to another member instead of You dont get but hurt and make a thread about it! If u want to see the price go to EBAY!

just4kickz · 06-27-2006, 12:27 PM

but yeah... i mean sometimes they might wanna keep the price secretive just bcuz they'd want to know whether or not your actually considering on buying the product...

icewatersoda · 06-27-2006, 12:30 PM

If you bought it you apparently did not overpay so just let everyone know. Just an idea.

Cause you might think its crazy i paid 3Gs for rims or the fact i spent $1700 on a front bumper from germany .

I dont think its crazy at all. Now I know they cost in case I may have wanted them. I am glad you spent the money and your happy. That is all that matters and I respect you for that.

I will when the car comes out of the shop in 2 weeks .

tl_boy · 06-28-2006, 04:38 PM

I don't care who i tell. I tell anyone who asks if I think it can be of value to them, there has to be some relevance (i.e. already purchased, or considering to purchase E90). I hate people like my "friend" WHO RUB IT IN THAT THEIR FRIEND GOT AN AWESOME DEAL ON AN E90 IN HOUSTON - LIKE 10 TIMES- AND THEN DON'T TELL WHAT THE DEAL IS.

No one here, at least, will think thats crazy. Thats very common. How about my friend in college who had a $45,000 Acura Integra? I thought that was crazy, and I would personally not have done it (I could have bought a M3 i think for that much back then - year 2000), but that was one BAAADDD ASSS integra, so who cares. Its all about keeping it fun.
