If you say so.

A simple “I’m sorry I misunderstood your post” would have settled the matter many posts ago but the match is lit and now I’m quite content to let it burn!!!

Then me too.
Ok then, my bad for the mistake in thinking i was being singled out, not knowing cantflip is someones user id name on this forum.
As i stated, don't follow, or remember names on these forums.
But if that guy simply put in his post reply he's looking at someone to notice the parts for sale, all this wouldn't have started from the get go.

He-he. 24 of 88 posts in 3 years are in this thread. Time to let go.

I told you that i lurk around, more than i have anything to say, or respond too, so whats wrong with that?
I'm not a chatterbox, that has to bring up a post count all the time keeping up with all the other Jones's on the board.
Not like you, getting up there in the ten thousand range.
Now you want to take me on, in regards to post whores, post counts, too.
What's that got to do with anything, anyway?
Because you have a bazillion counts, that make you any better than others that don't.
Explain that to me, if you could.

No, it doesn't make me any better. I was just suggesting that for someone who doesn't say much, you sure are vocal on this. The discussion could have ended much, much sooner without the attitude about one post in your thread, and this thread wouldn't have even existed. BTW, I'm not going to get in a pissing match with you. I'm done here.
Gee whiz... would you please just stop trying to pick a fight with the entire schoolyard and just finish with the ones you've started, walk away and have a breath, or apologize to whomever you think you might have overreacted to.
Of course we are sort of clickish and call each other by name a lot... there are somewhere around 200-500 folks who contribute here enough to be recognized by username. We are friends, and welcoming to new friendships with like minded people, who want to see these cars saved and used. I have met many of these folks in person, and am always hoping to meet a few more. For most of us, this isn't trolling away on the faceless internet and never having to account for our actions, these are genuine friendships and social connections to others with similar passions.
You will never win a battle with the entire membership.
The highlighted link indicates that a username is being used... @cantflip is a way to send an alert to that member. I assume you have seen such a thing before, A Bodies works the same.
FWIW, I really wanted to bite your head off for the way you responded in your post, but chose to give you the benefit of the doubt when I started this thread. I think you did yourself a disservice by asking the moderator to clear your previous thread, because based on this one, which you cannot clear, you have made yourself look even more irrational.
I know you have done business with members here before, and have been fair to them. This thread was an opportunity for you to continue being a reasonable seller, and I think you had found a fair market price @$750, once there was a market. Now this thread will continue to be what shows up when a potential buyer sees your wares, and does a little research... are you sure you have represented the real you accurately and as you want the world to see you? It isn't too late to go back and edit some of your posts (but there are many who will remember them).
The only dog in this fight I really have, is that you seem to feel justified to come around and attack folks who did you no harm, and I've not seen any remorse or apologetic response from you. Being too ignorant of how a hyperlink works is a poor excuse, and not so forgivable when you seem to feel it justifies your actions. I see that you have no respect for others, perhaps you treat folks better somewhere else in your world, but in FCBO, you seem to think you can treat folks any way you want to.
If you continue, please act accordingly. Most will not be petty, even if they will never do business with you. Otherwise, best of luck in your future scraping of rare and somewhat valuable parts, but statements like that have cause many of us to never do business with a person, regardless of price.
I hope you are proud of yourself, you've had every opportunity to make this go in a completely different direction.

I'm going to be done here, too.
Ya, i got ticked off, when somebody that doesn't have any interest in purchasing parts from me, has to make some kind of comment to muddy up the ad.
In this case, in my eyes, i perceived it to be, someone criticizing me in that i can't sell the parts being a "flipper"
So then, i prefer web sites that if you need to ask a question or two, you do it in a private message, between the parties.
So you guys won't see me anymore around the ad sections, and the open forums, when this runs it's course.
And still to this day, i am not a internet, computer, literate man in my old age.
I didn't even get a computer until i was 50 years old, and can just do the simplest of things on it.
Call me technically challenged, if you will.
I still have a land line telephone, and never used a smart phone, in my life.

I'm kinda glad i went and got these brake parts off that Imperial, at the local Pick-N-Pull wrecking yard, when i did.
At least i did my best in saving those items.
2 days after that i was back in the yard for something else, on another car, in another row, and the Imp was gone, to the big crusher in the sky.
Now probably turned into two little Kia's.

I don't get it?
What's that supposed to mean?
The stitch portion, anyway.

What's so bad about "a flipper"? Just that it might increase the ultimate selling price a bit, BUT the parts/items are still available for somebody willing to pay the price . . . whatever it might be. Obviously, some tend to perceive they can make more than they really need to, though.
Just some thoughts,
