9 F 17 1100837 alternator for sale

[DSYenko]

OK OK enough!! 67 camaro I have many comments to make.This all started with,"837 alternator for sale,appears original condition,,no pulley/fan spins free.Make reasonable offer
1st For you to say I would have been (upset) if you would have asked it's condition is a little unfair,I was thinking "original condition" was somewhat of a decription although now I see that could have a wide meaning.No one accused you of wanting to "steal" it by the way, your name was not included in that phrase.2nd You though maybe I should have asked in a different post as to what it's value was.I think if I would have done that you would not have been interested as you would have felt the price was "inflated" that I would have listed.3rd I never said I "only" wanted to sell it to someone to put on their own car,by then I was demonstrating a point with the 5K car purchased 20 years ago was worth 85K today and thus what I paid for the alternator was irrelevant as it had been around the garage forever.
4th I have never had anyone seriously ask me what I paid for something when I was selling it and if asked they surely didnt expect an answer or aleast an honest one!
The only 837 alt I had noticed for sale was on this site for I think $650 and it was "rebuilt" thus what one missing some pretty important parts was worth I had not idea.Even if the buyer is also a seller he will not profit without some time and effort and searching for the correct pulley and fan.One other thing on determining the price is how it's dated.Good date,bad date I still have no idea I was offered what I though had to be a "reasonable" price and definately more than it was worth to me as I had no car that it added value to.
No we have reached the point that you have a bad feelings against the buyer because I accepted his offer. Come on!!!
I have no hard feelings over this deal twords anyone.Next time I will list a price that I think is to high and say OBO! In this day in age of $2200 steering wheels,$3200 distributers and $5000 rearends a guy hates to short himself!
I may have ended the sale prematurely as I though the post was going down hill so hopefully this is the bottom of the hill. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif[/img]
