Utter crap, I am somewhat different in real life. Also yeah I went over the top yesterday but personally I speak my mind. Just not in front of customers.

The question was removed by Trademe (he's beem spaming my auctions).

A member has asked a question on your auction for "Air Compressor".

I thought have talked to you about this personally having a go at me, but then again you will just write this all over the messageboards wron;t you. I have nothing against you on the message boards, personally I don't see the problem in posting an opinion and standing up for myself because others disagree with it in the first place. I am more than welcome to talk in private about this.posted by:johnf_456 (112)10:08 pm, Fri 8 Apr

Asking a question is not spamming and you still have not answered my question. I have read a lot of your post and most do specifically go at me, hence asking and I'd like a straight answer therefore asking it on your auction. Has for the compressor is there any leaks my brother wants to buy it.

With all the dear john storys or whatever specifically going at me because you do not like my opinion. It is very much kinda creepy click buy now on something on mine so we can chat. It is very creepy behavior.

Kinda creepy.

sr2, Apr 9, 7:44pm
Tell me abou it!

johnf_456, Apr 9, 7:46pm
Click buy on something of mine so we can chat, I just do not like personally directed attacks so I want to get to the bottom of it in a kind way.

John_456, if this was treasure island you would be the first idiot i voted off.you are an over opinionated self righteous git. my 5 cents worth.

johnf_456, Apr 9, 8:47pm
Has said before I am somewhat different in real life, over opinionated for having an opinion!

quickstitch, Apr 9, 8:56pm
maybe you should not try to be larger than life on a keyboard then. you seem to post on nearly every thread and quite a few of them turn into someone giving you shit. wonder why !

mazzyz, Apr 9, 9:02pm
johnf, you're copping a lot of flack at the moment.
Maybe now is a good time to take a wee break from TM to ponder the reactions you seem to be receiving from others and why this may be so - sorta like diagnosing a car problem and implementing the solution you figure out after some head scratching.
No offence intended.

sr2, Apr 9, 9:41pm
This is getting scary!

doomy999, Apr 9, 9:50pm
johnf_456 , I have nothing personal against you and would happily sit down and have a coffee with you if the chance ever arose. .
But if I was too offer you some advice, ( for what it's worth ), it would be to think before you post something. Dont just post the first thing that comes in to your head. Take your time and think.
For example, your post @ 3 was silly and out of order.

Not trying to have a go at you, just offering what I think is some friendly advice. Take it as you will.

Cheers.

johnf_456, Apr 9, 9:53pm
Well man up and talk about it and not running when someone wants to talk properly about it. Of the attacks you have personally directed over the past few weeks in many threads. Don't say things if your not prepared to manly talk about it in a kind civil way, I don't want to be an enemy I just want it solved. As you seam to take a lot of personal time and effort to target me specifically over the past few weeks other than this thread.

You guys have it all wrong, no list of anyones would make me want to start trying to find a door lock knob or change the coolant - it's simple supply and demand with this one , I have no intention of making the car 'brand new' to appease these two. They were looking for a brand new car end of, its got 58 watchers and 3 people coming to view it monday - won't be losing any sleep cheers

zephyrheaven, Apr 9, 9:59pm
I paid 12000 into an account and my sight unseen Landcruiser turned up a week later, sometimes it's better to take a few risks lol. God damn typing on an iPhone is hard at my age

doomy999, Apr 9, 10:03pm
Not sure who you mean by "you guys" but I'm with you on this one.
If i was selling an 18 year old car and some one came back to me with a report listing faults such as a missing door lock knob. Iwould probably be showing them the door pretty quickly. Life's to short to deal with idiots.

elect70, Apr 9, 10:18pm
. .Justtell them to findsomething for the price . Is those bloody indians that piss meofftry to beat you downthensell itnext day .

trogedon, Apr 10, 1:07am
I wonder if some car sales people (some are women, well hopefully there are some women) do a bit of a subconscious thing where they think for every sale where I make X I??

johnf_456, Apr 10, 1:52am
+1 Thats how I'd do it, not screw up the paper work and have a tanty

trogedon, Apr 10, 1:59am
Yeah, I think we all know what you would do by now John.

jmma, Apr 10, 2:02am
.

Zephyrheaven has a few auctions running, maybe you should tell him on one of them (o:

johnf_456, Apr 10, 2:04am
No, you don't, provided I don't get repeated personal attacks from the usual people. Then the ones that hide for cover and cannot man up.

Kaz knows his stuff I have dealt with hm before hes a good honest car dealer.

zephyrheaven, Apr 10, 2:22am
Youre doing it wrong plain & simple then - I know nothing about selling cars, but no way in Jihad or Jesus would I step into their zone on a price war on that car - Ok if Id priced it $2000 over its market value I could talk turkey, but no

Im not about to negotiate on the price one iota - the price is fair, go buy a bloody 18 year old diesel toyota for the asking price the customer chucked on it - never gonna happen, nor is it going to blip up the sort of kms per L mentioned
Im not telling anyone how to run their own show - in my brief productive time in business, I dont try & beat the next guys price - I just do the job better, its a system thats working very well thus far & everyone seems happy

The fact Ive turned down offers higher than the asking / reserve price must speak some volumes towards its true worth! I have no idea personally (Fiats scare me) - but its a lovely wee thing to drive, if I didnt have 3 loan cars already id keep it

Meh, this thread has turned weird
