happy buyers + interested customers = good deal

I think COOP's group buys are great. I bought the billet stub-axles, and lusted after the CF hood and trunk lids. COOP offered a product that is not readily available, at a good price. Having people like COOP arrange for products like the CF hoods is a valuable resource that we do not want to lose with our 30 year-old cars. If you don't want the product, then don't buy. If you can find it for less, buy it elsewhere. If you don't like the process, don't read the messages. We need to encourage diversity, not discourage it.

what he said

[Pierre]

He can price his items anyway he wants.

And he priced them very reasonably (too reasonably IMO) while providing excellent products you can't find anywhere. (I am going to need stub axles for my racecar soon.)

If you don't like, don't buy. It's so simple.

Here is my two cents Daniel. Do the group buy. Make it worth your while. If you have enough participants to make your minimum, go with it. If you don't cancel it. Make your customers happy. Ignore the whiners. They can $%@ themselves.

I have never dealt with coop personally but his reputation on this forum seems to flawless. I'd deal with him in the future given the opportunity.

a group buy to have our little '02's livin' have my respect.

Thanks for the effort!

I have never seen what the fuss was about. It seems that his motives were good ones and everybody got what they wanted out of the deals. It is an individual choice to participate or not. Nothing shocking or wrong with the arrangement imo. I'd rather buy Coop a beer than his critics, that is for sure!!

[Lee]

I am sadened that COOP's group buy on CF hoods and lids has been put to a stop because of some criticism from a few people. Where else in the world can we get those parts? 2002faq is unique, and has proven a wealth of info and entrepreneurship.

Then a few people manage to let their grumpiness loose on that GB and turns it down. Sorry, I do not get it. I haven't read yet ONE rational comment that could support anything negative about that GB. Only personal grieves.

It is possible that when COOP mentionned he had no material interest in this process, some people may have doubted it. Perhaps it is true he makes nothing or gets nothing, perhaps not. I don't care. Let's simply not get personal and stick to the facts.

Please COOP, restart the GB.

I think there might be some shenanigans going on with that oversized avatar.

Coop has always been very helpful to me and a great source of advice. The group buys seem very fair and a good thing. I don't understand why a few people on the board are always so negative, but it is too bad because it discourages people from participating. Along the same lines I was disappointed when Rimspoke got tons of negative criticism for his products. I have bought his stainless steel hardware and it is very nice stuff, but I could see how such criticism might make someone less interested in producing such a product.

Appearantly, on this forum there are a couple peolple that don't want a good product or a good deal on a part that will work without issue. They would rather rant about something that does'nt work or argue over parts that they sell at the Home Depot for door seals.

Heck, if we bought all good parts, all we would have to talk about is how great these cars are.
