I tried but your mother wouldn't go out on consignment

[Mohsen]

Consignments a horrible thing 

[Birds]

So is selling on Gumtree

[Leroy Peterson]

Just do straight swaps for G4 coilovers plus cash his way.

[Kinkstaah]

tbf I kind of understand the second half, if the shocks are fked you kind of cant know until you make sure they operate as expected (i.e the adjustable dampening won't adjust)

[Birds]

I can understand him wanting to turn his caveat emptor risk into mine - once he's done his home garage swap and given them his speed bump test or cleared his ride height defect before inevitably returning them to me. So I inherit his risk, a lot of time wasting and no sale.

Condition should be a decent giveaway by looking at them to ascertain mileage or treatment and chances of them functioning as they should. But there's a reason second hand gear sells for half of new - I wouldnt buy shocks with any other assumption than the possibility of needing a revalve and factoring that into cost. Same with second hand fuel injectors and cleaning/replacing o rings, filters etc.

[Leroy Peterson]

Can you imagine if he had any car with no local coilovers available? Buying 2nd hand coilovers from Japan is less than a coin flip chance... A lot of importers won't even bother because so many are shagged or the collars are seized.

[UNR33L]

Found facebook groups the best way to sell 2nd hand car stuff.. sold all my old FG aftermarket parts easily and for good $ 

[Birds]

I might give FB groups a go

Last time I did that through Leesh's account and the first two buyers were "Send me your address" and the atypical "Do you still have this?" followed by no response. I assume the latter is people scoping out their options and then choosing one other than yours.

Selling stuff are the breast.

Selling stuff are the breast.

Selling stuff is a pita. That's why I still have a ported 4g63 head with 1mm oversize valves/Springs/ti retainers sitting in the cupboard and a high flow evo turbo.

So much can't be arsed.

You've aged, welcome to the dark side..

Insert that quote about being conservative at age 20 and having no heart, or liberal at age 40 and having no brain.

You appear to be a socialist only slightly intolerant of gays and change, comrade
