• Failure to follow these rules may result in your threads being locked, deleted, or moved. Depending on the severity of your actions, or frequency of your actions, your user account could be suspended or banned. These rules are to help protect both buyer and seller.


    1. CONSOLIDATE all of your for sale items into ONE thread only. This means there will be NO making multiple sales threads for different items regardless if the parts are related or not.

    2. PRICE IS REQUIRED. We do not permit ads without an asking price for each item. "Best Offer" is not an allowable substitute for posting a price. You may ask for $1 but a price must be listed regardless. If a price is not listed with in the first 24 hours of making your sale thread IT WILL BE LOCKED or DELETED. Once a price is listed a bidding war is not permitted. If the seller gets an offer that meets his asking price, the seller should honor the asking price and sell for that amount.

    3. EBAY LINKS AND OTHER LINKS. We allow links to ebay ads, but you MUST have a buy-it-now price posted, or an asking price to stop the auction in your ad here (Not just in the link). If it is from another site or from here, do not use a link but post the full text instead with pictures if you have them listed. If a BIN price is not posted, then your thread will be DELETED.

    4. CITY / STATE are required info for each ad. Information must be posted in the first post of thread, NO EXCEPTIONS. Buyers and sellers reserve the rights to privately ask for full contact information on any purchase or sale. 24 hour notice will be given, if you do not comply your post will be DELETED.

    5. NO TWO PARTY SALES. This means no more "I'm selling for a friend" posts and will be deleted immediately with no notice. Seller assumes all responsibility of anything they post for sale.

    6. NO FEELER THREADS. You are either selling it or you aren’t selling it.

    7. POST COUNT AND/OR TIME LIMIT. We are requesting that you spend some time with us before you start a For Sale thread. A pre-determined minimum number of posts will be required or 1 year since creating the account + an intro thread (just so we know you aren’t the Prince of Africa). Any for sale thread posted out of the For Sale section to circumvent the rules will result in being deleted. Those who do meet the criteria and post outside the section will have their thread moved, constant violation of this will result in an infraction.

    8. NO BUMPING OR TT’ing YOUR THREAD MORE THAN ONCE IN 48 HOURS. Don’t worry your thread will still be a bold read until a user reads it and if people are really interested they will let you know. Post warning will be issued if in violation and on the 3rd warning, the thread will just be locked.

    9. NO THREAD DUMPING OR I DON’T LIKE YOUR PRICE. Don’t post in a person’s thread just to tell them they are too high, either move along and say nothing or throw an offer to them. The person can sell it at whatever price they think someone is willing to pay. Offenders will be issued a warning, if it is a constant issue then an infraction will be issued.

    10. KEEP YOUR THREAD UP TO DATE. This is really for your benefit, so you don’t get 10 PMs asking if you still have it when you already sold it.

    11. NO WEAPONS. As Admins we have determined that no weapons will be allowed to be sold, this includes knives, guns and anything else deemed a weapon (even if its a wall hanger only). We ask that if you want to sell these items you seek out the appropriate websites elsewhere to do so.

    12. Pictures are REQUIRED. Pictures of all items for sale. This is to help BOTH seller and buyer. As a seller it is MUCH easier to sell something if you have pictures of it. As a buyer you feel better seeing exactly what you are buying. Pictures should contain the item/s for sale and a sign of some kind that has your username on it. 24 hour notice will be given, if you do not comply your post will be DELETED.

    FRAUD & RISK. Buy and Sell at your own risk. Grand Prix Forums and its staff are not responsible if someone rips you off or doesn't send parts out in a timely manner. This classifieds section is a free service for the community, and it is YOUR responsibility to handle all transactions in a low-risk method. DO NOT contact us if there is a dispute between you and someone else, we are NOT INVOLVED. You can help minimize fraud risk by doing these suggestions:

    Pay using PAYPAL, using a credit card. This way, if a part does not arrive, you can do a charge back through your credit card company. If you gift it, then you have no recourse to get your money back when things fall through. Pay the 3% and have the buyer protection. Using someone else's paypal and gifting to pay for goods is violating Paypal's Terms of Service.



    Always ask for full name, residential address, phone numbers of both buyers and sellers. An honest seller should have no problem disclosing this info to you privately.


    Shipping things C.O.D. is risky. Try to use UPS or Fedex, so that you can track shipments. Have someone sign for it if it is expensive.


    Ask for references from other members, hopefully from other members who have been registered for longer than one year and are active here.


    Use your gut feeling. If something seems too good to be true, or a seller/buyer seems a little shady, don't take the risk.

    TIPS:
    -Post pictures: with mobile phones these days and auto uploads, it’s not even really hard anymore. Have it automatically drop in Photobucket, grab the Img tag link and paste it in.

    -Give good contact information if you aren’t going to be on here a lot.

    -If you are going to disappear for an extended time (vacation, time in jail, what have you), then give us a quick note that you aren’t going to be around. People will trust you a little more.

    -Look around and gauge your price with other items. Just cause you bought it for $1000, doesn’t mean it’s now worth $1,200 or even the original $1,000. You are free to ask what ever you want, but an item that is priced right will sell quicker.
  • The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

ya know, honestly. I feel bad for the guy. Losing family members is hard. But he is running a company where he takes people's money. Do you have sympathy for me. After all, he does have my money that I had to work hard for. Money that could be used elsewhere. Maybe I should just go ahead and file the claim now.

How about instead of us showing sympathy :th_jester: Have some empathy here buddy, say your wife dies (I don't know the details about parker's family member) but say she dies the last thing on your f*cking mind is "I have a business I should get back to that instead of mourn" jesus you people are greedy as f*ck parker is a damn stand up guy he will deliver just let him have his f*cking time and quite complaining. :th_thumbsup-wink:
 


Yeah I see it's my fault you got your panties in a wad, sorry I don't stand by and let a friend get trash talked when he can't even say anything back. I really really hope someone close to you passes away, I won't sit by and think "aww man that must suck, I hope he is okay" instead I will think of how much of a douche you are for not waiting maybe another week.
 
my father DID die, and I still DID find time to let people know why their items might be late- takes 2 secs to send an email or PM
 


I tried too, but I'm sorry about your father. I know what my dad means to me. This thread shouldn't have turned into this either and I apologize to you for that too.

Everyone reacts differently to loss.........if this is all legit, he will get you your things. He shouldnt have to worry about this crap right now. You people all just need to chill out for atleast a while. It isn't like it has been six weeks. If it is an emergency on your part or you need it that bad, go buy it elsewhere. Sometimes a smaller business doesnt perform as efficiently as a large one on matters like this, but that is why they can give you deals from time to time too and offer you everyday good pricing....give the guy his space for a little while or go buy elsewhere and stop *****ing like a little 12 year old throwing a tantrum.

All I ask for is communication. If you give me that, I will gladly wait three months for this part.

LOL- finding THAT out, waited 2 months for minichopper to NOT make me an I/C, so I got refunded, bought one from TDC, and I'm STILL waiting- oh well, ZZP ships fast but costs lots of bucks....

it funny you say that because it has been 4 weeks for me. I placed my order on august 5th. I think part of the problem is peoples money was taken and now they are still waiting for a product or an answer. I understand why people are upset. He emailed me this week though and said he was shipping it so I not worried but I do think people have a right to be a little angry about their money being taken and not having anything to show for it. If you don't even have the parts to make something don't charge me for
it. Wait until you are ready then process it. Having said that I think some of the people around here waiting are being a holes about it. If you want some instantly make it yourself. There are even do it yourself threads posted on these boards if you want.
 
My order should have shipped before his dad died too.
I don't need a new intake. I bought one to help this guy out, because everyone says he's a good guy.
And it's none of any of your guys business what's going on here either.
This thread has gone to hell because of you guys. All I want is what I paid for. That's what I deserve.

I agree.....I have backed TDC up until this point, but has anyone noticed that there is no longer a link to his website in his sig. Signs are pointing more south and as more and more times passes, this looks worse and worse. We will find out soon for sure, but I hope everything is on the up and up soon. It just doesnt look good right now. I dont think that you should have to wait one month for any order, unless TDC's vendors are backordered and that should be communicated to you upfront, right away, and you should not be billed for it.....
