Since this is a private owner and it's not cross-posted and I dont think we'd worry about someone asking to BUY the items listed on this group, whats the harm? A little story: I've been looking for a cheap reliable work truck, actually mini-van, for over a year and didnt find anything suitable that I could afford to maintain along with my commuter car... I gave up looking on EBay after looking for decent ones... got one and the seller reneged when the bids didnt rise. But last week i was driving along a back road and there was an older aerostar in fair looking shape... I phoned the owner and asked him how much and what was wrong with it and ended up getting a real bargain... pretty good shape mechanically sound and less than 500 bucks The point? I wasnt looking anymore. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - Look at the price of the tires and the wheels... think about the aggravation of selling on ebay Maybe someone WANTS a set of winters to fit a contour... but never thought to look on the "back roads" Since we really arent too overrun with spam here, lets cut some slack for the odd item for sale. > Jeff opined > [quoted text clipped - 34 lines] > Since we really arent too overrun with spam here, lets cut some slack for the > odd item for sale. Personally, i don't have a problem with it here as long as a dealer is not doing it every day for commercial purposes. Who knows who might need ford parts here? and that's ON topic. On any given day, i need some kind of ford part ;) I do have a minor disdain for internet nazis .....

Just in case you don't have it...Here's the official FAQ Anything about selling your parts there? A re-write is in order. Or maybe the official charter.. Let's see if it will surface.

If you have a problem with your car and want to see what others who might have some experience or knowledge to help you solve it or help you decide what to do about it, PLEASE post ALL the information you have. While computer geeks world-wide are working feverishly on the application, no progress has yet been made on the ability to read minds over the net. Year made, make, model, engine FULL symptoms.. when it happens and any other info that seems unusual, whether or not it seems related. This wont cut it: "My car wont start, can anyone tell me why?" Neither will: "My 92 Taurus 3.8 cranks but start, I pulled the codes and none of them seem to have anything that helps solve the problem." "I have fuel pressure and spark" The above is STILL too general, if you know the codes from the computer, you should include them. You may well have missed something. Bear in mind: The REASON most of us frequent these boards is to share what we know, exercise our minds analysing problems, and learn something in the process. It's hard to do that when you dont have all the facts. If you want MODIFICATION or performance info on a specific type or model of ford, try the FAQ on "Ford Links" >Jeff opined >> [quoted text clipped - 34 lines] >Since we really arent too overrun with spam here, lets cut some slack for the >odd item for sale.

If everyone Tom, Rich and Johny who had something Ford related to sell on Ebay poster their message here, we wouldn't find the messages that the newsgroup was created for: http://groups.google.com/groups?q=alt.autos.ford+%2B+charter&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8& oe=UTF-8&selm=slrn45agv78.15.grobe%40worf.netins.net&rnum=1 Jeff. Jeff opined > If everyone Tom, Rich and Johny who had something Ford related to sell > on Ebay poster their message here, we wouldn't find the messages that [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Jeff. 1. I dont understand how that didnt show up when I did that search.. specifically searched for charter in title or text oh well 2. It's still a gray area IMO. Why? Have you ever used forsale and marketplace groups? THEY SUCK they'r either so full of crap and hard to read or out of date that they're unusable I vote to let larrylarry post his wheels for sale just this once. But Larry... put them on your local forsale anyway Sorry. I have not seen a charter so I assumed it was okay, especially since I am practically giving them away. Larry |
