Well--looks like you did real well here on the forum. Unfortunately, you left one member (me) thinking you're a douche bag. At 9:14 am, you post that you have a laminar lip ("never opened") for $55.00. I'm just getting ready to order one, so great deal, I think. Also thinking you have a fair price (they're $84 new plus shipping), I PM you at 9:42 am, and offer you your asking price, and tell you I'm ready to Paypal the money to you.
At 10:15 pm, you pm me "I sold it on FJR Owners.com".
Here's a little unsolicited advice. What you made is an offer. What I did was accept the offer, not give you a counter-offer for some lower price. We had a deal, or contract at that point. Legally, I could go ahead and buy the laminar lip and sue you for the $29 plus shipping difference, but of course I won't. I'll settle for a little online forum shaming instead.
I'm glad your "shotgun approach" got your items sold. I've bought and sold many items on this forum without a hitch. Sooner or later I guess someone was bound to do something that would chap my ass, and you, sir, are that someone.
Have a nice day https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/****.gifhttps://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/****.gifhttps://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/****.gif
Um, wow. Not really sure what to say to you. Sorry? Both forums have been very good to me, and bought the windshields from members of both forums. I sold all three in a day, so from a seller's perspective, what I did worked out great.
I posted in the morning, and a few hours later I sat down and opened the first forum that was bookmarked, which happened to be FJR Owners. I replied to the offers there. Then I opened this one (which was second in the bookmarks) and replied to the offers here. That evening, I sat down again to check PM's for the remaining windshields. I made sure to PM you it was sold, so you wouldn't sit around waiting for a week to hear back. I guess I could have just ignored you and left you wondering for a week. Would that have been better? I have been left waiting in limbo for three weeks before, just to find out that the person decided to keep the item. Did I whine and complain? Nope. Life rolls on.
As for shaming? Um, ok. I bought three windshields for a fair price. I tried two of them (I ended up buying a Rifle, I never tried out the Lip) then resold them for the same price I paid for them. I ate about $25 in shipping to test some windshields. Now I pass on the screens so someone else can try them and see if they work for them. If they don't, they can resell them. Shamed? Not at all.
Also, keep in mind that the posting times are relevant to your specific time zone. My computer shows that I posted the ad at 0814, and that I received a response back on FJROwners at 0949. Yours shows that I posted the ad at 0914, and received the response at 1249. (I don't know how it correlates the time frames, and to be honest, I don't really care.)
Now go buy a Lip, install it, and ride. Now that we have both had our say, I hope this can be done and over with.
(I am not even going to touch the whole "offer" and "suing" comment. That almost made me fall out of my chair laughing.)
