I promised myself I wouldn't, but I can't take it anymore.

I will try with all my will to make sure I never post another one of these but I seriously couldn't hold my tongue, and had to talk to someone with a brain.

I've been going back and fourth with this idiot for over a day now. I think this is the final straw for me. This is whats going to finally get me to delete the link from my browser bar.

Again I'm sorry. But I needed to tell someone. And at the least get your guys' opinion on the topic and if you think I'm wrong.

Rich,

Since I can't read it (remember, the pansies banned me), I have no idea what it said. If the other person is being rude or ??? Use the report post function and see if it really works? I'd guess not

Why put yourself through such treatment? You've got this place and the Florida Forum to hang out. Why bother?

Feck 'em!

Quick summary. guy wants to buy an LT4 longblock with intake for his 92. And wonders the price.

Guy 2 says

"About 400 more than an LT1"

Guys 3 through 7 basically tell him hes full of it, they are worth alot more than that, and the intakes alone are worth $600.

Guy 2, who will be referred to as "jackass" says

"1. The Edelbrock LT4 Air Gap intake sells for about $450 new. So the stock LT4 intake selling price has plummetted.....maybe you could get about $300 for a used one, now.

2. LT4 intake is not an upgrade over the LT1 intake. It has no particular value unless you have LT4 heads.

KW"


Me and another go back and fourth trying to explain to jackass that that isn't true. Jackass says there is no way for the intake to be worth that.

I reply with this.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/LT4-OE ... 28QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW


Jackass tells me that it means nothing since it has no bids. And shows me this..

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/REAL-L ... tem?hash=item190203737503

And claims this is irrefutable proof that LT4 intakes are worth $300.

I reply with

"Yeah, that POS is not worth full price. So it looks like 400 would be about right since the price of NICE LT4 intakes are about 600.

Try again."


Jackass replys with

"Really? Why not?"

I reply with

"Because it has been stripped by who knows what means, and looks like crap.

Just because Jerry Jackass from ebay is willing to spray paint it for you doesn't mean anything."


He replys with

"Just because Mekanic Jackass says it "looks like crap" doesn't mean anything .

Bottom line, it's gonna perform the same as any other stock LT4 intake.

Including the POS $600+ intake you linked .......

Some jokers just can't admit when their wrong .

KW"



I reply
"A corvette with horrible paint, no carpet, a missing top and broken headlights will be just as fast as an NCRS one.

Does that mean the basket case is worth the same amount?

Go back to whatever hole you came from please."





Jackass has yet to respond.

looks to me like a classic CF pissing contest.

Bastet44 has a great way of dealing with assholes, ignore them. She calls them vexacious. They just arn't worth wasting time on... much like CF...

That, my friend, is a LOL thread.
Suitable for banal material.

Heads Will Roll.

LOL.


Just remember to you other posters, ebay is a wicked site.
Something worth $150.00 listed by a private seller, might sell for $25.00 to one person, and $750.00 to another.

It pisses me off so much, that anybody who references prices on ebay immediately get the "Ignore List" addition.
