Originally posted by Floorwhore i dont understand people coming into 'for sale' threads, and making complaints about the price. if the price itself is too high, and he cant sell it because of it, im sure he will lower it. personally, i'd be pretty fuckin pissed if people came in my for sale thread and more or less told people 'dont do it!'. let the people who are in the market for dj gear do the research themselves, and keep the negotiating of price to PM's. and yes, RJ does infact baby his shit....

its a message board... happens everywhere. People can post up their opinions if theyd like. Im not saying I agree with them haggling over this particular item but I dont think they are out of line.

Comments like these are disgusting.

You'd be all up in a rage if someone came in and went against your opinion if you were trying to sell an item. Don't turn it around and say "I would sell it for a fair price." You have every right to sell an item for any amount of money at all. But nobody has to buy it. That is a personal decision.

If you aren't going to post something meaningful and helpful to the thread why even bother at all? This is one person's decision to sell equiptment and is offering TA's a chance to pick up some mint condition gear for a price he has decided upon. If you don't like the price, go elsewhere. Simple as that.

You already say you have gear. Well then why bash up a post of this nature?

Immature, meaningless, and disrespectful in nature. Quite innapropriate and not the right place to put it.

RJ best of luck on selling the equiptment. I'd be all for the CDJ if I had the cash, especially knowing how well you take care of your gear

how about we just make it an 'unwritten rule'.

its out of respect for the person selling the items.

because it is just a 'message board' doesn't make it okay. picture a guy in a dealership just about to sell a car, and some bonehead standing around eating free hotdogs pipes up 'DONT BUY IT MAN - MY BUDDY HAS THE SAME ONE FOR $1000 CHEAPER!!!'. same deal.

like i said earlier, if you have interest in something, but you want to negotiate the price..... do it via PM.

There comments werent that bad and they were pretty polite about it. You want crap, try other boards! really. I know where you guys are coming from as it is a pain in the butt sometimes but the proper buyer will know what is bs and what isnt so its just something ive come to expect in fs posts on the net (unless replies are disabled in forsale forums, and in some places it is like that to avoid stuff like this).

yet AGAIN. All that means is it is more difficult to find a used one to save some money.

the problem with this in FS/FT type threads/forums is generally the person posting has NO intention whatsoever of actually buying the item. If they did they would most likely contact the person privately to make an offer. the only reason these people are posting their opinion on the price is;
a) for whatever reason they feel it is their duty to "make sure nobody overpays" what are you - the price police "OMG I saw one for sale one time and it was $50 cheaper!!!! OMFG JOO IS GETTING RIPPED OFF"
b) they are jealous that when they sold their similar item they agreed to accept less money.
in fact this it's often a case of B followed by A.. "wait don't buy this - when i sold mine it only went for $xxx"

It has _nothing_ to do with whether he's being polite & _everything_ to do with that it's completely inappropriate. If he's not involved in the transaction what is his purpose to post crapping the price?
(HINT: see above a, b & b + a)

good point

FWIW, I'd trust a well-known regular on here than some random on eBay...the DJM-500 I bought (from someone in this thread even) is problem free, over 1 year later.

RJ is a stand-up guy...if he says it's well maintained, it's well maintained...to me, at least, that's worth a bit of premium...particularly when you factor in free delivery + set-up w/demo.

but...to anyone expecting *no* critical feedback in a FS thread where the price does include a bit of a subjective premium...well, that's a wee tad naive...the joys of a messageboard

RJ, if you had two of those M3Ds, I'd seriously consider an offer

so what are you gonna do about it? Go knock on their door and take their internet away?
