Why not? Is it wrong to give a fellow AZer a heads-up that there are better deals? These forums are supposed to be here for expanding our knowledge and what we have learned, sort of a collective memory and collection of experiences. If we are not supposed to screw around with anybodies "for sale" adds then why in the "for sale" forum do they have a section about people not to trust in deals? Sounds like a double standard propounded by some who are making a living by buying low and selling high and not wanting that to be known by potential buyers to me.

I'm sorry if i offended anyone, but, It looked like a total ripp off to me..I just purchased 2 pair of the same exact calipers from my local harbor freight, so i new the price was way out of line. I felt this scam should be exposed.I dont feel i did anything wrong..I hope others would do the same.
max.
 
Hey guys, tooling pricing can vary greatly depending on where you buy it. I bought a bunch of these calipers a few years ago from ebay for $12. MSC currently sells this same caliper for $41, one of the cuelathe sites has it for $55. If you buy this same caliper from a woodworking supply store it will probably cost $60 or more.

I don't think its anyone's intent to get over on people when selling an item. Maybe the original poster bought it at a higher price. Or maybe not, but its his prerogative to set the price for his item, especially when his target audience is a specialized group.

If you look at anything cue specific, there is always a large markup. If you look at the prices the cuelathe manufacturers charge for a carbide brazed tool, then look that up at MSC, you will be quite surprised.

The point is, anytime you sell to a specialized market (us), you have more freedom to set the price of your item. Its up to the buyer to do the research to see if there are better deals elsewhere. And also to decide for himself if the better deals are worth perhaps a lower level of customer support.
 
Thanks

I dont know about you guys, But when i go to the mall to buy something I look at the price. If I like it I buy it It's that simple. I dont look for the manager to say hay this price is to high. If you look at my post and threads and read all my transaction you will see i have gone out of my way to please the people I have delt with. Did you read anything in my post about adding shipping cost or paypal fee's like many do. No because i paid for the shipping now deduct that from my asking price. I thought is was fair. the bottom line is I really dont have to answer to any of you who did not like my sale. Thanks for those of you who added your support. A good day to all..

I don't think anyone is getting on you for your for sale thread. You are absolutely right, I wouldn't expect the manager to say that the price was to high either BUT at the same time, I would be pretty upset if my good buddy who was with me waited until the sale was completed and we were walking to the car to tell me that the exact same article was on sale at the store next door for 1/3 the price. The normal list price for this particular caliper is 19.95 but they are almost always on sale at the stores for 12 - 14.95 and this is for new with a guarantee. But never-the-less, it's immaterial if the article being sold is worth the price or not. What is material is that it should not be against the rules, or someone shouldn't be chastised for giving someone a heads-up when there are better prices to be had. It's not like someone hi-jacked the thread to try and sell their own, competing article.

It's one thing to tell your buddy while standing side by side that he should look around, it's quite another to get on the PA system at the store and announce to all customers that you feel better and/or lesser priced items can be had elsewhere. This is a person's thread where he is trying to sell something. He's not asking for opinions. If you want to express an opinion, start your own thread on the best place to buy low priced items of your choice. To me, it's common courtesy, and this is the accepted etiquete used in other sections of this forum.

Like I said earlier, If it's wrong to give a heads up to other AZers that the same or better deal can be had else where is wrong, then telling people not to deal with someone because they have made bad deals or stiffed someone in the past. Exact same thing. Besides that, this is not the for sale section of AZ. There is a section for sales. There's nothing wrong with posting items here for sale that cue makers would be interested in such as what was offered this time. How ever, people are coming to this section to learn and learning where good buys are should not be eliminated. The seller quickly dropped his price and said that he was not out to screw anybody and wasn't aware that that caliper could be purchased that cheaply so now everyone has learned something that apparently they weren't aware of.

Dick,
I'm all for seeing the buyer get the best price also but it's the seller's thread and he can put whatever price he wants on his item. At that point, it's up to the buyer to determine if that price meets his budget and/or how badly he wants the item at that price. A savvy buyer will usually do some comparative pricing on his own.

If a prospective buyer came to me and asked if that was a good price, I'd have to be honest with him and tell him that I could get him a better deal.
If I'm not asked, then it's none of my business.

I know that we, as a community, want to look out for one another and give a heads-up when warranted. I think that is truly noble.
But now, let me offer this. Did anyone think to look-out for the seller?
95% of the CMs, CTecs, etc. on this site know that these calipers can be had for $15 all day long. The vast majority of them also knew that this thread would end-up like this. Did anyone posting in this thread ask if he (the seller) could 'move' a little on his price?

One more crumb to be considered food for thought.
Maybe there's a reason the seller was asking that particular price for his item.

I know that most of us do what we do on this site because we care; that's a good thing. Those that care, have my respect.
The circumstances and very nature of this thread is a 'sticky wicket' to be sure. There is no black & white. It's all gray area.
Maybe, if we can now borrow the OP's thread for a continuation of the discussion, we can sort out the details and arrive at a better understanding of what's proper and accepted etiquette, because after all, don't we all want to strive to be better at the way in which we conduct our business?
 
Wow ... some cue makers charge $100 or more for a leather wrap.
I charge less than $60
Same wrap ... same quality.
I dont think there is anything wrong with that.

I say let the buyer beware.
Chinese made stuff is cheap ... we should all know that by now.
If not then we will learn from the school of hard knocks.

I doubt that the seller of the item in question was trying to get anything over on anybody and was asking what he considered to be a fair price.
I can also see Dick's side of the issue as he was giving a heads up to the price. However, That same thing in a pool hall it is called "Knocking the Action" and is generally not accepted as a good practice.

So now we're to apply gambling 'ettiquite' to on-line transactions ? I just got up off the floor, but now again I'm ROTFLMAO.
