I'm not trying to sell anything here, just determine worth.
My jackass ex had my bike in his garage. Last night he decided to throw it in the middle of the street and in the process he royally fucked up my perfect, and I mean perfect - not a scratch - tank. It's dented in several places, blahblahblah.
I want to know how much is fair to make him pay me for the tank, the plastics he ruined weren't perfect but they were close. I'm so mad! :cursing
Hey, I've seen folks post less before... and in a round about way, it was a method of procuring a purchase from a member (without purchasing their Red R) outside of the classifieds forum. It comes right down to this, if you're searching for a really nice "anything"... why not purchase your Red R, and try the correct channel of request.
There's nothing wrong with your initial dialogue, but when you got to the part: "I'm having no luck finding one anywhere online for sale so thought I'd ask here." ... well, it gets awfully close to a WTB thread. Seen it before - been there - got banned.
Keep your sigs fellas - you may want them yourselves.
No worries... and especially none from me Frankenstein... but moderators tend to look closely at threads that insinuate the idea of a purchase through a search thread. Just wanted to give you a "heads-up"... that's all. No sweat.
