The Used Parts Market & Resellers

No point being salty at the sellers.

If there is a market for it, people will sell it.

Why would anyone not try to get top dollar for something theh are selling?

I disagree.

I get salty because somewhere down the line some fucking cunt started all of this and the trend caught on. Now we're in 2018 and shit is so fucking inflated it's no wonder people mount the "can't afford legit parts" argument when their car looks like a bag of smashed assholes.

I can see how you're playing Devil's Advocate and I really do see what you mean. I'm posing the question of what the fuck can we do as a community to try and make a dent. If you're not with the optimism (that something can be done) that's cool man. Just wanted to get people thinking about it.

Dipshits trashed all the 240s, ran all the cool bits into walls, parted it all out, and now you're complaining that prices are going up? Poor old you can't profiteer so easily anymore? It's about time, better than prices being artificially low as every last cool car or part is burnt thru in a few years. You all bought your cool shift knobs or whatever just as all the 240s got destroyed, and now people want them, it's not because YOU bought one, and they're just worse people than you.... It's because YOU and your buddies parted out 838755 240s, and now they're largely gone. Your crappy culture consumed itself, because you chose to profit in unsustainable short-term ways.

1.) There it is. The first dude calling it a hustle. No one in here has an IG page with the word 'entrepreneur' in the bio and an ugly 'car girl girlfriend' rubbing her asshole all over the hood of their car to get IG likes. So yeah, no one here is hustling, playboi.

2.) Obviously people are pissed. There are people in this thread. I'm in fucking Japan and I can't even get shit locally because every fucking neckbeard with a 90s Japanese car resells parts.

3.) Holy shit: put on your tinfoil hats. You're saying that the mark-up is due to fuckboys destroying cars? What the fuck does 'artificially low' mean?

4.) Aren't you the same fucking dude defending shitboxes?

Where's this optimism? Only works when you want to defend a fucking piece of shit posted in the DIW thread? Can you not see the contradictions here...
