why im even wasting my time


Unit Price:USD4.98/PC that = 5bucks

you sold one on ebay for 35bucks

35 is 700% more than 5.

as far as shipping i know what us domestic shipping costs are for a bit.

the way i and most of our members see this. you got them for say 10bucks after freight shipping and even at that cost thats 350% markup. retail stores only mark up 200% and they have a lot more overhead to cover so i would say thats shady business practices.
taxing even more on shipping puts you in the same category as all the face plate vendors on ebay.


another thing. when you come here spamming shit and acting like an idiot the burdon of proof is on you not me or anyone else. obviously you dont fit in here so just leave.

I don't get what all the animosity is over. I guess I can see both points of view, but I still don't understand all the tough talk.

I think the price of the cars is a little steep for what they are, but I don't have to buy one. And the whole shipping deal... I've shipped my share of well-packed bits, and $5.00 is totally reasonable. About the smallest box you can fit a bit and controller into and mail first class in the US is going to be around $3.70. I wouldn't begrudge someone getting an extra $1.30 for packaging time (at least 10 minutes), going to the post office (at least 10 minutes), maybe paying for parking, buying tape, etc.

If this was a year or two ago, I probably woulda bought one. As it is, I have enough unfinished projects to last me till the holidays when I'll see these in the mall.

I thought I AM was being pretty straight up. Maybe a little heavy on the attitude, but hey, we're pimps afterall.

I gotta say, I don't really agree that $5 to ship a box is outrageous at all... it's gonna cost 3-4 bucks for packing materials and postage... a buck or so for the time to package it up nicely, drive it down to the post office and stand in line is pretty fair, I'd say. Also, 700% is an exaggeration of I AM's mark up... y'all forget that shipping costs and time ain't always free. The demand is there and I AM stepped up to cash in on it... he didn't really come over here to sell his shit as much as call bullshit on the comments made on his auction... I've seen way worse rip-offs on ebay. Whatever... like Sdog said, he ain't gettin' my $35... it's too much for me.. even 2 for $60 shipped is too much, but that's 'cuz I don't really want one of those cars. If I was hot for one, I'd pay it. The only beef I really have with ya, I AM, is that third-person creepiness (hue35 doesn't like it when people refer to themselves in the third person)

That thread was a weird read... I don't really care about most of it, 'cuz I'll stomp ass with a mosfetted Thunder Charger with KIT Racer gears for about $8 total... STOMP ASS!

Because you care Hog and it bothers you lol. You dont like being embarassed do you?

Heres my proposition to the entire BP community....

Hog says the markup is 700%. Its right there plain as day.
Hog says it cost him to bucks to ship and that 5 dollars is a "rip off". Its in the thread. Im willing to prove him wrong if he promises to apologize for his lies and slander and admit he was wrong. Thats all i ask . If he is willing to do that im willing to prove him wrong :cool:

Unit Price:USD4.98/PC that = 5bucks

you sold one on ebay for 35bucks

35 is 700% more than 5.
And thats where your wrong my unenlightened lil pork chop. Your assuming that the cars are sold to the buyer for 5 dollars US and shippped ALL THE WAY HERE for free .

Tell me people....Does HLJ.com ship for free lol? Doyou think UPS delivers for free? How about Fed Ex? LOL

Hog i understand that your pride is hurtin man and at this point im actually cool but let it go or man up and back up your words. I will.

And dont edit the post punk lol.

I have BEEN here for a year Hog. Did i JUST NOW stop fitting in or are you bothered that someone is putting you on blast/ making you accountable for your actions and words hmmmm?

Do you even know what 200 percent markup is? 500 ?

lol i didnt fuck up. i called you out and you never backed that shit up. so when i see your #s i will admit that you were right.

payaso: you got the box with that bit i sent you? if i recall it was 2 and change to send.

again you paid maybe 10$ in costs(car/packing materials) for something you unloaded for 40. thats 400% markup which is still a rip off. i understand wanting money for your time thats fine but thats a little excessive and bitpimps doesnt tolerate shady dealers selling shit. and yes posting about it is advertising.

can we start a flame thread about him now? :lol:

But honestly if IAM told everyone there was a clone that is better/just as good as a zzse, wouldn't you expect it to cost just as much?


IAM got ragged on when he didn't post info about them. And then when he does, people rag on him for advertising. I think your gonna get ragged on no matter what IAM :p

IAM, don't let people push you around! http://rds.yahoo.com/S=96062883/K=funny ... CF0039.JPG

Not just as much Chewy but competitive sure.

But this stopped being about teh cars long ago. As long as everyone is happy with their projects and their own personal cars its all good. No harm no foul. Its not like i came here with a big sign.
