Not cool....
I pm'd them about the midpipe - they said it was available and would hold it until the end of day - waiting for payment from me, or else would sell to someone else. I called at lunchtime as discussed w/ no answer. And then got a PM saying 'sorry - i think we have to let this go' ...meaning they're sold - without contacting or PMing me first.... Real cool and professional... Can't imagine they were that pressed for cash to need to sell within minutes... Last edited by scott135i; 09-22-2010 at 02:23 PM.. Reason: update |

I agree. Like most F.S. threads, first to send the moneys gets the parts. |

scott135i - We we're extremely busy with phone calls this morning, and we held the item for you til lunch time, and we waited a few hours. We also had many people calling in and we told them we had someone else in line. Lunch time passed, we didn't get your call or voice mail. So we let the items go, and sent you a PM apologizing about the inconvenience.

With the overwhelming number of calls/pms on all the products that we have on for sale from this part out, please note that the products are all on a first come first serve basis.
We are already selling these products are very reasonable prices and we are not doing this to make any kind of profit on the products. They are not getting sold to the highest bidder. Price is the same for everyone and it is just getting sold to the next person that does call in. There are couple of guys working on the pms and calls that come in and we try our best to serve each and everyone of you. Again, these are not inventory parts that we are selling to make a profit, merely to make room for something interesting that we might do next time. thank you all and please feel free to call us at 312.880.7767 Julius

I'm going have to agree with scott135i here because I was the 1st to reply and send a PM to the post and also received an email today saying that the dps were mine since i was the 1st to reply as long as I paid today, I called a by 3:30 and was told they were sold. I understand its your choice to do business as you see fit, but next time just communicate that up front and would not piss people off.

Same thing happened to me with the Intake and charge pipe. I was the 2nd post in the thread, asked for payment info. Got a pm today at 1030 am saying I was 1st and had 24 hrs to pay. Waited to get off work to call and pay. Got a pm at 4 saying sorry it was sold......

It sounds like WSTO couldn't handle the overwhelming response to all of this and just went immediately to the first prospective buyer with purchasing power. I'm sorry to hear you guys got side-stepped... I've been in that situation and it definitely leaves a sour taste in your mouth.

guys take it easy, I'm sure there is a logical explanation as to what happened. Yeah it's frustrating if you had dibs and it got sold to someone else but its not like its not similar to every other FS in here. I just lost 2 P3 gauges in 2 sales even though I was offered it first. They had about 25 PM's within 30 min of putting this thread up (I was at the shop when it happened). And if a person says I'll take it but let me pay you in 12 hours yet there are 7 other guys wanting the same thing and willing to pay immediately why should they wait? You can't walk into a BMW dealership and say I want this one I'll be back next week can you? If money was down on an item, sure I see why that would be bogus but if not, tough crap, business is business and someone beat you to it. Don't forget they also have a large local following so if someone walked in and said here is cash in hand instead of them taking a 3% hit on Credit Cards why wouldn't they want that? I'm sure they're sorry if some people felt mislead but its not like this doesn't happen all the time. Bottom line if you want something bad enough, pay for it right then and there or else be prepared in case someone else does before you can.

So if this is the case why have I not heard back about the wheels?
They said I was 5th in line but if money talks then...
