Just make sure that whomever you buy them from has a returns policy if they do not fit correctly... Otherwise you could be burnt like fellow AGT members.

*sigh* is the only way you can get business by stealing it? Prostituting the market just like repco (which you always complain about). Undercutting a pre-marked price in the same thread as one was quoted in (at least we have the decency to start a new thread). Trying to sell a product you've never sold before just because we are selling them so you can beat us.


b3m price $760 inc postage aus wide


And I apologise to everyone else who has had to read this – but Astro Boy has a history of not responding to reasonable, polite and well intended private messages. I would take this up in private, however I know it would go ignored

ROFLMAO!!! Ah, the twiglet can't handle a little bit of competition!

Ok, cause I've got better things to do than play footsies all day, $750inc postage, if B3M come in cheaper than that, buy it off them!

You're going to get far with an attitude like that... Its called competition!

Yes, I'm a little dirty towards your attitude, and will sell for less than I would otherwise, but whilst I'm still making money its fair game, and I wouldn't waste my time otherwise... I certainly will never sell at a loss (unless by some other arranged deal, like sponsorship), cause that isn't fair by anybody, certainly not you or I...

Get over it, and like you've admitted PM'ing me over this would be a waste of time... I'm still gratefull for the support AGT has given me in helping setup GSL, and if repaying them is by giving them the best prices I can, whilst making very little myself, than that is something you're just going to have to get over...

happy to beat your price:

$745 including postage

also happy to keep this professional. as long as you're undercutting every single price we post, it's not fair game. at least have the decency to start a new thread in your own section where you can just delete any post i make

Chi'sLantis is in the UK so including post in Australia isn't much of a bonus, is it?

Ding, Round 2

There will be no round 2 Cosmo Dude...

Competative shipping can be arranged for Chi'sLantis to the UK if he wishes to purchase through us.

Gets a bit pricey with regards to insurance and what not but details can be hammered out.

PM or email or something.

Chi,
As you are in the UK have you asked Cosworth?
If so what was the price?
