note to any other potential sellers:
make sure you don't want any more than $100 for a set.

$100 for a set probably is resonable,just not to me,or likely anyone with a set spare,as they're hardly a common part.
if they were for an ae82,you'd likely have 20 guys to choose from,but since it's sprinter parts you want,the choice is a LOT slimmer. I may be the only source for you in Sydney...
maybe you don't want me posting what you want to pay,and maybe others don't want you calling them,and offering a lot less than what they're asking,like you did to me tonight.
call me old fashioned,but if I post a price,it's what I want for something,not an opening bid. if you don't want to pay it,for whatever reason,look somewhere else. don't waste my time.
as I said to you on the phone,if you don't want them for what I'm asking,new ones are double the ask. you might want to wait until you've saved up the $300 and then you can hit up whiteline, pedders or kings for some newies.
as for the springs not being legit, for one thing,how the fuck would you know,sitting on the other end of a phone line? have you seen them? and secondly,how do you come to that conclusion at all?
I feel my telling you exactly what they are was about as open as you can get. my springs were bought by pedders from kings,and fitted to the car I currently drive before I bought it. seeing as you are likely not in the trade,let me let you in on something: companies buying from each other,and reusing each other's product when their own isn't available immediately is VERY common. as far as springs go,there are only 4 manufacturers in Australia,and they spread their product out to all the suspension shops.
kings and whiteline springs come from the same manufacturer,as do pedders.
Kmac sell shocks as "their own brand",as do pedders. you know who actully makes them? monroe. but they spray them orange and red respectively... see what I'm getting at?
if I was shifty,I'd be spraying them one colour before you saw them,and would be a bit less open about where they came from,and what they are than I was.
anyway,up to you. good luck with the search for cheap,top quality,certified perfect 2nd hand springs.

Justin!,
All i said to you was i will make an offer and its up to you if you want to sell or not.
I did not force you to sell it to me for $100.I made an offer, i cleary said if you didn't like it thats fine, in the end the item is still yours and the cash is still mine. No need to be hurt over it. It was only an offer.
Most people in here put a price and usually allow negotiation.If you really wanted that price and didnt allow negotiation,you should of said so you faggot.
On the phone you said the springs were king springs sprayed RED. And i was thinking WTF? sounds dodgy. You didnt say you bought them like that.
How the FUCK did i waste your time. Its a phone call.YOU did not state strictly NO OFFERS in your post.
I never said i wanted perfect springs, all i did was offer you $100 you said No..Your the one that posted
"note to any other potential sellers:
make sure you don't want any more than $100 for a set. "
WAT THE FUK IS THAT?

I posted what I did,to make the situation clear for others.
it's not up to me to say "I would LIKE X amount,but will SETTLE for Y amount". do you go into a shop,and treat the price tags as an advisory? do you haggle the price of a cheeseburger with the girl behind the counter?
get over yourself.
I posted what I wanted for the part,you offered $50 less,and made your position on the matter clear,as did I. I then posted on the forum,and made it clear to others,to save them time.
I shouldn't have to post up NO OFFERS,or NOT NEGOTIABLE in a for sale post. as I said above,if I put up a price,I expect people to see that as I what I want for the item. prices negotiable for mates,but not for people I haven't met,or who fuck me around.
I told you exactly what the parts were. I didn't hide anything.
you can think what you like,but I was as open about it as it gets. they're kings springs,that pedders bought from kings,sprayed red,and sold to the previous owner of my car.
there is nothing dodgy about that. kings sell a decent product,and obviously pedders were happy to sell it as their own in that case.
as I said before,if that worries you,save your money and buy new springs. no worries then.
far too many people on this forum piss other people off by being tight arsed when someone is selling them something. I'm not the only one who gets annoyed when someone calls up and almost before they've said hello,they're asking how much I will take off the price.
if you have a problem with rejection,how about you make your own post clear in the first place? "hey dudes,I want a set of springs for an ae86,but for no more than $100 ok?"
I would have read that,and not made my offer at all. no cost of a phone call to you,no agro,no problems.
and btw,there's no need for the insults. be a bit more mature about things if you want to stay on this forum. getting pissed off is one thing,but calling people faggot and such isn't let go on here.
Justin...
