kvalentine Posted July 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 I guess some people are more business minded than others...THANK YOU MIKE D Could not have said it better myself.It is an asking price people.

kvalentine Posted July 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 are they stock springs? Used? If so... These are springs from an 850R Wagon like my post says. If someone is looking to upgrade there 850 wagon or V70 to a more aggressive spring and they are not looking for a lot of drop here is there chance!

kvalentine Posted July 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 http://volvospeed.com/vs_forum/index.php?s...st&p=686498I'm confused too... I thought you said you wanted both the skid plate AND springs Why buy both and then try to resell just the springs for almost the cost you paid for both?Do we not live in a free market economy bro, wtf?I may decide to use the R springs for my 855 but for now I have enough work to do and until I get a chance to consider it they are for sale and that is my "asking price".

kvalentine Posted July 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 ripping off other members is generally frowned upon.What makes this a rip off? I do take offense to that statement Are R springs for a wagon readily available anywhere but from Volvo or maybe a few select auto recyclers?How much would you pay for a set of 4 R springs for an 855 from Volvo? I think it is more than my asking price.Yes they are used but these springs really do not suffer from any wear and tear. I have springs on my car with over 150k miles and they have very little if any sag in them and are basically as good as new condition. These things do not wear out. Now other parts in our suspensions do wear out, but not springs. So them being used is NOT an issue.AND, how many time do I have to say it - ITS AN ASKING PRICE. Yes the original "asking" price was $75I aquired these parts with my hard earned dollars. I made the 2 hr. trip up to Seattle to get them. Danny had to do very little to unload these. Oh, yah he helped me carry them accross the street to my car. Thank you Danny!AND - Danny did not provide all of the mounting hardware for the skid plate so I had to purchase the mounting kit from IPD for the skid plate. $20 shipped. Maybe I could have found some bolts that would have worked to mount the plate from a parts store but I want to make sure it is done right. I have a family that rides with me in my vehicles and I want the comfort in knowing I have top quality parts installed that are put together correctly. There are expenses involved in aquiring and selling products. So I have an investment in the parts and until I decide I will use them they are FOR SALE.My asking price is $125All reasonable offers will be considered. I prefer local pickup. But will deliver to as far north as Seattle or south to Olympia or so. (is there no value in that?)I prefer cash but other methods of payment will be acceptable if I have to ship to you.I'm glad a simple post advertising parts for sale creates so much attention! This is no RIP OFF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is no RIP OFF.buying springs plus a skid plate from ANOTHER member and selling the springs only for the price you paid for both isn't shady? R springs can be had ALL DAY LONG for under 40 bucks. Take your shady shit else where, it's no longer welcome here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is how I do things, and if somebody bought something from me just to resell it for a profit that I could have made (but chose not to), I would be pretty damn pissed off. Hell, I give parts away to VS members if they aren't doing me any good sitting around, and if somebody asked for a part just to sell it, same thing, that's WRONG.
