it doesn't surprise me where the OP is coming from, just look at his sig. everything is just negativity. somebody's not a happy camper. just buy from a vendor/sponsor, 100% of the time they'll ship.

How does someone's IQ coincide with shipping items? Needless to say, conducting business locally enables the seller to walk away with confidence knowing the transaction is completed with no variables that would alternate the initial agreement made between him and the buyer. Additionally, the seller does not have to deal with any anomalies with mail delivery and shipping services such as damaged, lost or stolen items.

If the seller is an individual who is a high volume seller selling multiple items, then chances are they would be in business to ship. However, if you're ranting about the average Joe selling the intake that's been collecting dust in his garage, why expect him not to prefer local interest. There is no motivating factor for him to manage the sale when shipped from point A to point B.

A trader score also does not ensure that UPS, Fed Ex, USPS and Canada Post will not lose or damage a buyers item. Furthermore, USPS's track & trace system is a Joke!

Shipping poses an inconvenience when it comes to irregularly sized or shaped items. You seem to be upset because you're having a difficult time finding an item. Try being patient.

I anticipate this thread getting locked soon.

is this for real? lol who cares ive gotten a few things from other members and also sold both via shipping and not depending on the size of the item and how sure I am that the item isnt going to reach the buyer damaged thanks to the shipping company. But its up to the seller to ship or not, end of story.

I totally agree.

It's not just 2IS owners...it's a lot of owners. I'd rather not ship because of scams and pictures don't show everything! What's the OP's next rant? Form of payment?

Put it this way if some one sell something local. Then the buyer will see the product and condition before buying. Then there no comming on the forums later and say " he sold me a crap". The way i see it local is simple and cash in my hand. Another note on the buyer side do you trust some one you never seen? I mean im not will to paypal a stranger $2000 even if the has alot of post. Post dont mean jack to me. I can post a million post does that make me trust worthy? So no hating on the seller if they dont wanna ship that there rite.

Ive seen people bump items 10 times and have people post in the thread with cash in hand that just need it shipped but instead of shipping the seller bumps it over and over again.....

Hey i have an idea, if you dont want to ship your parts DONT POST ON HERE, USE CRAIGSLIST MORON!!!!

Maybe i missed something, can someone fill me in on why most 2is owners are either too lazy or stupid to put a part in a box and mail it????
It's not our fault you can't afford to buy new.
