In another thread, another member and I exchanged a couple of posts about how we comment on C Bodies for sale that get posted here.
I have NO agenda, NOT campaigning to change the site. Say and do whatever you want .. the owners ultimately decide policy here. Its a general discussion question, so that's why its here in this forum.
People come to FCBO by choice when marketing their cars, OR we get them here by posting their public auctions/listings. What do they leave/stay here thinking about the experience? What a buncha [fill-in-the-blank] on FCBO?
Its been observed we "talk down" C bodies as to appearance and price -- bash the car and/or its price, so we are kinda dissing the cars we love/own driving DOWN prices?
It goes the other way too. We have been observed to "talk up" some cars we see if they are really nice and/or underpriced, so we prop up artificially HIGH prices for C's?
Sometimes we stay on focus and get it "just right". Pros, cons get kicked around, and then we mostly see the car the same way as to its price and quality -- and the market saw/sees it the same way in the end.
So as an advertised group of unapologetic, unabashed C-body lovers, do we affect the market prices/public perception of C-bodies, including our very own cars, to some degree based on our collective commentary here?
Survey Question (my LAST ONE. How Should FCBO Members Comment on C-Bodies for Sale Posted Here?
Five possible survey answers: Assuming we stay honest as is our trademark approach here: (A) only say something mostly good, (B) only say something mostly bad, (C) call out good and bad as you see them, (D) don't say anything either way if not a party to/interested in the deal, or (E) it doesn't really matter either way .. our opinions don't count for that much?
Survey runs 14 days, five responses, you can only vote once, you can only pick one response, you can see the results without voting, and you can change your vote later.
Examples (pictures preferred as always) to make your vote are welcome. And let's again try to avoid "making it personal" in a negative way -- e.g., that moron did .., this idiot said .., etc., or personally going after members for our views. Don't want the thread to hit the skids.
But, "Atta boy/girl" shoutouts are always cool. And we always try take care of our members here!
