I know who puts food on my table

CHRISTIAN

U GET VINCE'S STRIPPER POLE AND ILL SHOW U WHAT TO DO WITH IT

AND I DONT THINK ANYONE ON HERE GIVES A RATS ASS IF WE ARE DONATING MEMBERS. UNLESS U HAVE EMOTIONS TO YOUR CAR AND U WANT IT TO GO TO SOMEONE ON THE SITE THAT APPRECIATES IT THEN SOMEONE WILL DISCOUNT IT. BUT FOR SOMEONE WHO IS BUYING AND SELLING AT A REASONABLE PRICE AS TROY DOES IT IS MUCH APPRECIATED WHAT HE DOES.

NOW GET OVER TO VINCES AND GET THAT POLE

No, I was just hoping one would give members here the first crack at a deal.  It's just the cool thing to do and part of the reason members come here in the first place.  So we can feel special and be "in the know" as well as given the opportunity to pick something up without having to deal with the likes of Craigslist and/or Ebay.

 

We are contributing members and I feel it should be one of the rewards/benefits for being a part of this community.

 

Pet peeve of mine is someone posting their item/car for sale here and merely providing a ****ing link to Craigslist or Ebay.  Thanks for the special treatment *insert huge eyeroll here*

 

If you are going to do that, at least mention an SOC bro deal that is a tad lower than you are offering the avg low-baller Joe window shopping on Craigslist.

 

And don't even call me a Liberal, I will cut down Vince's stripper pole and shove it up ur arss!  lol

Christian.

Are you suggesting that I should give you a discount because you are a "contributing member?" (by contributing, you must mean you post a lot, because it doesn't look like you are a "supporting member")

You want "rewards and benefits" from other SOC members, but you don't feel that being a member is worth the cost of becoming a Supporting Member?  What's wrong with this picture?

 

Oh.  And as a reminder, I still have "Cruzin Windows" for sale and the SOC member discount of $50 still applies.  Even for Christian.

Christian is relatively new to this site, I think he is a good addition to the SOC family, I don't think it is so much to ask that as a member of the SOC that some discount be given before broadcasting over the WWWeb.. 

I would do the same....in fact, I have on a number of occasions, given items away to members, or at a reduced rate, as in the case of my red tub....

 

I will however agree that being an actual "supporting member" would add a little more clout

to his words.

 

I'm not suggesting anything, you can do as you wish.

 

I am a member of between 8-10 forums. I own one and share ownership in another.

 

I am an avid road racer and have made many friends over the years.  We do group rides, we race at the same tracks and even have BBQ's much like Vince had the other month.  When you get to know each other, it's nice to be given first shot at something when they sell it (makes that friendship a little more worthwhile).

 

I like to see it as "forum etiquette" to offer a "Bro price" which is usually slightly discounted than what the general shmo from CL or Ebay would pay.  To each his own though.  To me this shows that the $ to you is worth more than the camaraderie of your fellow enthusiast.

 

I'm not asking for a break, I don't want your car.  I'm speaking from experience I've had throughout the years of being active in many online communities. 

It's merely "the cool thing to do" when in a tight nit community such as this.

 

I hope you make huge money on your car and sell it to a complete stranger.

I often times take a loss when selling my stuff to friends, but I guess I'm a bad business man like that. 

 

and BTW...

The site I run is on my own dime.  I have NEVER asked another member for help on the costs. Granted co-owning the sites have benefits as the costs are split down the middle.  Adding to that, the vendors I have on the site do not pay a dime to advertise either.  All I ask for them in return is to hold random raffles as well as offer discounts to our community.

 

www.socalmoto.org is my home turf.  Very relaxed and very tight community because of this.

I apologize if I haven't taken the $50 plunge here yet, like Vince mentioned, I'm still fairly new.  However, I don't think the fact that I don't have the (supporting member) moniker under my name renders my word useless when it comes to my opinions.

Well I guess that settles it, I must not be "cool," but it's clear that you are since you frequently take a loss when selling your stuff.  As a point of clarification.  Everyone of the 13 Speedsters I have sold over the last couple of years has been posted on SOC well in advance of going on eBay.  There is nothing stopping anyone from contacting me before the cars go on eBay and they frequently do and several of my cars were bought by SOC members.

 

Again.  You want "rewards and benefits" from other SOC members, but you don't feel that being a member is worth the small cost of becoming a Supporting Member?  Is that "cool?" What's wrong with this picture?

TUB4STU - you still out there?

 

FWIW - this kind of thread drift is typical on this site. You know how it is, you intend to respond with a comment on a thread and then you get distracted by 'shiny' things. That's what makes this site so entertaining.

 

Hope to see you on our next cruise up Palomar Mountain. Keep an eye on the 'Events' forum.

 

Oh, and I hope you're having too much fun with your Speedster...I guess you can't have too much fun but its worth a try...

@MUSBJIM...yeah I'm still out here...I have followed many a thread on this site that gets side tracked and I agree that is what makes it so great & entertaining (as well as Vinny's pics ) I have often checked the "Events" page and will continue to do so. I saw the one for the Rudder Room, and having grown up in Oxnard, I know that spot well. I won't be able to make this run but will definitely keep checking for future runs!!

@Vinny...that F**Kn eyeball is driving me crazy
