Not Ranked
No offense meant to anyone here but many in our number are shall we say... Cheap.
Other reasons include a certain lack of commitment on the part of a few to pay for parts they say they want or to take an especially long time deciding whether they want something while others in our number wait for several days or a week for them to decide. The other issue I find here is keeping up with less knowledgable members (again no offense intended) asking every imaginable question in the thread or expressing an opinion about the part listed verses another part he or she might want to use. Most of us go way beyond the extra mile to help a fellow CC member out but making comments on a part listed is bad form and comparing parts listed with others listed is simply rude.
I have had excellent luck buying and selling here and I have also experienced the disappointment caused by people who have expressed initial interest in an item and then waited trying to decide if they wanted or could afford an item without expressing this interest to the group. I find e-bay the ultimate equalizer. I would rather sell to my Cobra bretheren first and foremost (most of them anyway) but doing so is sometimes too complicated.
If you want an item listed in a thread say so... Say what you mean and mean what you say...
