thinking they will get it cheaper...the word "GREEDY" applies here. Buy it now disappears after the first bid and then the whole game changes.

Makes me reconsider who any of us should trust here on the board for advice. It seems the ones who are here giving advice about "RIPOFF IS OK" are gladly going into my "never buy anything from this jerk" list!!!

1. RIMSPOKE DID NOT SET THE PRICE.

2. EVEN IF HE HAD SET A BUY IT NOW, ONE BID WOULD HAVE TURNED IT OFF.

3. THE BUYER SET THE PRICE, IT IS AN AUCTION. THEY WOULD NOT PAY THAT IF THEY DID NOT WANT TO.

What do you propose? Never, ever selling on eBay, because someone might bid above the usual price? I guess you could have a beef with the bidders, but I don't understand your strident accusations of price gouger about RIMSPOKE.

One call to 2002Haus, Max, bimmer parts,

jaymic, w&n.....would have prevented

someone from paying that price. Someone

bought it though.

Were they ripped off? No, not really.

They paid what they were willing to pay.

I'm an antique reseller. I buy something, I

mark it up past book value. If a newbie comes in

and offers me that price, it's gone. If they are interested, they learn and become a more educated seller. I compromise and all are happy.

Responsibility works both ways.....seller AND buyer.

All that matters it that an item, is 100% accurately described and represented. PERIOD.

Jerry

PS: what gets my goat of late is *new* Fiesta

kitchenware being sold as old. That's fraudulent.

below regular market price, that would really make

it "fair". Why is it ok for corporations like Ford to

keep selling replacement hoods for over $500 and

make huge profits and inmoral for everybody else?

One of the things that makes this country great is

free enterprise, remember the pet rock?, more

power to Rimspoke if he can find a way to make

money, and hope tons of money too.

This is the last time I discuss money, religion or

politics here!

If someone wants to buy something and is willing to pay the price for it, there is nothing Mr. RIMSPOKE can do about it. Its called an auction buddy.

If someone is selling a car at an auction, lets say a 2002. 2 guys really want this car, and the price gets up to oh $12,000 when the car is worth maybe $8000. What you are saying is that the owner of that car should stop the auction and say, hey wait a minute, this car is worth only $8000, I can't sell it to you for $12,000 because you really want it.

Go move to some communist country if you don't appreciate free market and enterprise.

NO ONE TALKS ABOUT THE ITEMS I SELL FOR A PENNY .

I HOW WOULD YOU LIKE A SET OF STARRETT METRIC DEPTH MICROMETERS FOR TWO DOLLARS ?

PULL UP MY ID AND SEE THE KINDS OF ITEMS I HAVE STARTED FOR ONE CENT .

SOMETIMES THE BIDDING GOES HIGH , SOMETIMES

IT STAYS LOW - IT ALWAYS GETS SOLD TO SOMEBODY AND I ALWAYS

HONOUR THE SALE . I SHIPPED THE GASKETS FOR $1 NOT $10 , NO GOUGING GOING ON HERE .

I CAN'T OFFER A BUY IT NOW WITHOUT A RESERVE AND I

DON'T USUALLY HAVE A MINIMUM BID OR RESERVE .

Remember the guy who sold the brochure with the 2002 goodies for, what, $40 ??

More power to him!

That's why we share our experiences on this board, to become educated consumers, 02-wise. Like others said, the educational experience has a cost, and RIMSPOKE gave the seller a very inexpensive lesson.

I remember when I bought my first '02 over 26 years ago. There was this mechanic which was ripping me off right and left with no mercy (as an example, I paid him $90 back in 1978 for a used front damper). Once I found out what the real prices were, I was initially very PO'd, but then decided that it was only up to me to become educated about my hobby.

So David, how did you become such a bad person overnight???? Should we tell everyone that you were giving away your new Distributor hold down bolts to everyone this weekend in the mountains? That might tarnish this "evil image" that you have developed! Shoulda just given me those gaskets :)

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
