Worth a try??!!

beez:

They aren't so much "rants" as "whines" like from a weak puppy. (Rants have far more gusto and fire)

Engine and parts vendors only exist because they ask a reasonable return on their investments. (ask Bernie OR Matt)

It is also true that when demand goes up prices soon follow as with gasoline during the summer months.

call em whatever u want, lol
but I gotta say, bernie and matt have VERY reasonable prices, and i'm always happy with the
bang i get for my buck!

If a dealer has the right to charge ludicrous amounts for something, then I reserve the right to "whine" about it!

While I'd never condone someone getting ripped off, I think there IS a certain amount of dues paying/education that has to happen when someone sets out to buy or sell anything in new field where they're still learning, ESPECIALLY on the Internet.

I once bought a shooting vest, and paid nearly three times the value of the thing. It looked REALLY cool on it's hanger in a local gunshop, and I had burning cash in my pocket. I plunked down my money, and didn't find out 'till later that I could have gotten a BETTER one for about a third of the price.

I could hardly fault the gunshop owner for my ignorance, and just wrote it up to a learning experience...although it STILL pains me to slide into that vest!

We've all got a learning curve, and there's nothing like a little shot in the wallet to move us down that curve a little faster!

This Bozo is parked right in the middle of a sea of Cox engines, and any sensible person would have to ask themselves, "OK, so what IS different about this engine when the others are going for a fraction of the price?"

Just my thoughts...

well stated, sirrah.

I think that the important word there is "reasonable" no-one expects people to be in business for love alone, a "reasonable" return is one thing, what we are discussing is something quite different.

Kim has well articulated a point that is just part of the game of buying and selling. (And indeed it is a game)

This Troll has some hi-end items and most likey pretty well off. Likes to taunt others with his toys and puts them out beyond most means. If you get a reply its just a small ass response. As soon as I see an items with his name shut it off. He plays a sick game and enjoys it. Don't feed the Troll's.

Wilf:

For all the good that it will do, go right ahead an "whine" while we smile. .

Come on Dave, let it be.

Did I not include a large '"smilie" to soften my remark in a good-natured fashion?

Yep, you (Dan) probably remember the crap with this guy several years ago. The worst thing you can do is to respond.
