Maybe it's my fault, I should have kept my mouth (keyboard) shut and should have just said "thanks, I'll keep it in mind".
In fact just the way the ad was written I shouldn't have never replied.

Here's the Ad

Here's the email conversation,

My frist email I can't seem to pull up but it was simple like "Hi, how much for the engine and /or transmission, Thanks".
The rest is C&P no editing

Hi

The engine is curently getting rebuilt and will be listed on eBay for a buy it now of $1200.00 I might list I on kijiji also.

The transmission is in great shape no rebuild nesisary. Had an offer of $500.00 after asking $900. The lowest I'd take is $750.00 for the transmission.

Thanks



"No thank you...too much for 914 cores. You should have taken the $500."

(Again I totally admit I should have just STFU)

If you change your mind feel free to drop in my store @ savosparts.com and stores.eBay.com/savos-parts

On the hotline there are many 5spd's listed and i sold on eBay for $1000.00 but than again opinion are like ASSHOLES everybody has one And nobdy want to here it right they stink

Anyways have a great day I'm sure there are many junk cores out there for you. If I come across a CORE I'll let you know.

Thanks


"Cool I'll tell all the members of our internet international club....about 10,000+ Porsche 914 members.
They would love to hear of a rebuilt engine for $1200 and they would want to know how you do it.
Do you want to go there.....or apologize for your rudeness, your call. "


Again I should know by now that arguing on the internet is like the old special Olympics story....

You voiced your fucking opinion first and accused me of being a lier you fucken low life goof.
You asked how much and I told you than called lier you dilusional fucken piece of shit.
If you pissed me off like that in public I'd knock all your fucken teeth out you fuck.

All you had to do was respond with no thanks or not respond at all would have been the wisest choice buy you choose to attack and call me a lier you dumb fucken idiot.

Do a fucken seach you low life. There are people out there that don't care about price and those are the ones with great attitudes. The Thera the low life fucks such as yourself who want everything for nothing.
Obviously you just a punk as dreaming kid. People who build sand rails without money in mind pay dearly for these if you like to know idiot.

Once again I'd like to remind you that you contacted me first and attacked and called me a lier.

Go fuck yourself and stop harasing me you fucken piece of shit.

Fuck you very much

He does have a point. Selling via an ad does indicate that he desires to sell to the highest bidder. Your threat to post on this website might very well cause him to end up with a lower bid, and as we all know, "let the buyer beware".

You could probably write similar emails to about 50% of all of the eBay postings, but really, what's the point? As for the rudeness, there are certain "Cap'n"s that participate here that are proud of their rudeness. And as we have all seen, a rude answer isn't always a wrong answer.

Besides, his sign-off was classic! lol-2.gif And he did say "Anyways have a great day..."

You said it...should have just left it alone. BUT, I wouldn't have been able to not make the same comment you did myself!

I guess I have the minority view on this. The seller wants $900 for a good gearbox. The prospective buyer refers to it as "core". To me, "core" means non-op, but rebuildable. I would be offended if someone referred to something I was selling as "core" if I knew otherwise. I would not launch into a tirade, but I would be offended. As for others here taking delight in antagonizing the seller, I dunno. I've heard slapstick is the lowest form of humor, but this is a few notches below that. It's not funny to me.
Mark Henry


I'm not going to play. Yes I should have just said "no thanks"

Kind of pissed me off about the price of a "rebuilt" engine and then the perfect transmission. I'd say he's a Honda guy or ebay backyard scraper, no clue about 914's.

The funny part is most canadians are very polite...even if they are calling you a shit head under their breath.
I'd say he's off his meds screwy.gif

We all know Mark was being an asshat poke.gif biggrin.gif

It's the way the guy LOST it that is funny. That big rant of his was like taking a bong hit; halfway through the word fuck lost all meaning to me.

Oh, and I took the bait like he asked and went on his site; when I clicked 'Porsche' parts this is what came up

And there's the rub ...

How do you know it's a "good" gearbox? From the ad, it seems he's parting out a car. What do you consider a "good" gearbox?

If there's nothing to go with it (receipts of a rebuild for example) i would consider his gearbox a "core". Nothing more.

Exactly, did he at least drive it?
Almost every box is a core because 1st and 2nd will require repair.
Not to mention $1200 for a "rebuilt" 2.0?

Guess what he loses on the engine he'll make up for on the trans. rolleyes.gif

I would have investigated it, asked more questions, made a decision, then would have moved on...

Actually, I can rebuild an engine and sell it for $1200.00 + shipping of course. I would just take it apart and put it back together. If you want the high performance model it is $1800.00 + shipping. For that, I take it apart, clean the parts and put it back together. lol-2.gif

I've dealt with way bigger assholes than I was, in fact I was polite but blunt.
NEVER would I call someone an asshole, I would have let it drop. It's just not professional (he's claiming to be one) and why waste my time.

Not to mention I hate bs.gif

He's clueless, you can't rebuild a engine with core for $1200 and unless you have driven a trans you can't claim it's perfect.

This guy thinks he won, he's all proud of himself, he won the gold in the special Olympics!

kenshapiro2002
Sure...that's why you started off with the disclaimer "Maybe it's my fault, but..." You knew the "battle" was your fault, but wanted to tell the story anyway and maybe solicit some support. If we did a poll, pretty much everybody has said the same thing...the guy was blowing smoke out of his ass, or was merely ignorant of what "rebuilt" should mean, and that you picked a fight for no good reason. Come on...you realize that...what were you trying to achieve? Don't feel badly about it though...I still do dumbass shit like that all the time! lol-2.gif

Hey Mark,

Shouldn't you be workin' on that six and just let all this go?

Expending energy for nuthin'.

Oh, still have the 69S P&Cs along with a crank and case. Crank is 10/10 but the bearings are still good (my friend should have never taken it apart).
Mark Henry
Maybe it is, but I also could be just saying that because I'm a Canadian and on a whole we are polite.

were so polite we'll even say things like "sorry, but you seemed to have parked your car on my foot...could please back up just a hair"
