It looks like there's another battle going on about what is being sold in the classifieds. Whoever is in charge of them might want to put some general rules somewhere. Personally I do not see a problem with a poor college kid trying to sell his non-thirdgen on the clasifieds in order to use the money to buy a thirdgen. Anfet all, alot of f-body owners park their nice cars in the winter and are in need of cheap transportation. But the discussion should be in this board, not in the ads.

You right about keeping comments on the comment board but since we are on the topic of putting non applicable ads on a Third gen classified area the point plain and simple is, this is a Third Gen F-body site!! The poor college kid has other resources by which to sell his non F-body car. After he sells his car he can come here to buy an F-body. Think of what the classified section would look like if everyone used it for non F-body parts and cars. The nice feature of a 3 gen specific classified section is not having to scroll through non F-body ads to find what you need. The people who do not support keeping the classified section F-body specific will learn the hard way when the section is flooded with tons of useless non F-body ads.

To do he should take it up with the Moderator, I Told Guilty this has been going on for years, Don't think things are going to change in a week. Every thing Guilty mentioned to me about a specific post the post was third gen related also no matter what parts where for sale or for trade. I think the moderator would be o.k with it if they was not, the post would not stay on the board and this would not have been happening for years, I clearly stated to Guilty If things happen like what he stated on the classified board they might just shut it down! 92Rsfivepointslow That is why they don't have replies on the classified no longer. Things start to get out of hand. And your right 92Rs there is a lot of people that keep there 3rd gens in the garage during the winter and look for new transportation or need to fix another car they may have broke down. I know many people back east that store there 3rd gens in Heated garages, Im here In Cali and My 3rd gen is even stored in my garage for it's winter project. I suggest let the Moderators make the decision b/c no matter which way you look at it both ways, It's a big one.

This beats our tie in Post 242 what a trip eh.

BrandenCali

That was probably his second post on the entire thirdgen.org board. Maybe the person should just do there best to fit in first.

There is no reason for you to take this so personally and you had no business emailing me personally. I have been going through the classifieds since I joined the site and recently the volume of non F-body ads has increased. I do business through the classifieds so it dose effect me."Every thing Guilty mentioned to me about a specific post the post was third gen related" I only used one ad as an example you know there are more. The single post I used, as an example was not F-body related. Putting the words in an ad "I just bought an F-body and I need to sell my non F-body *.*" or using "dose anyone need a winter beater" dose not constitute an F-body ad. I have not disrespected anyone, however you are disrespecting me. If you don't like my opinion Branden I could really care less, just leave it alone I don't see how it directly effects you anyway.

BrandenCali

If you had such a problem with someone via emailing you, maybe you should not try to make judgments on a board where there is no replies, and read you registration a little better before you came to the site, You are stating Im disrespecting you ha, Guilty you are the one that Is putting down GM. For some post on the classified. What upsets people is when you put down GM that's not a good thing, Im not going to argue with you, I don't have to. I tell you if you want these rules so bad write the moderator. You say this does not affect me at all, I post 3rd gen parts for sale on the classified, and you know what happens, There is 30 post a day later and my ad is way down on the list. Do I complain, hell no b/c I can if I wanted to and if I needed to sale the parts so bad go other places, im not going to start saying a bunch of stuff on the boards classified board because a certain person can't find my parts. So I tell you what. I won't ever email you again. And I won't reply to this topic any more. And I'll check back a few days later and see how your doing and I won't even say a word. I promise 3rd gen honor.

A. That's what this section is for not my email addy., I didn't email the guy that wrote the comment so why did you email me. B.Where and when did I ever put down GM, this is not gm forums this is an f-body site specific to f-bodys.
C. It's about finding f-body parts and cars in an f-body classified section it's that simple.
I don't complain when my ads reach the bottom of the list but I do have a problem when they are pushed there by non f-body ads.

first off, I didn't mean for any of this crap to happen, and second off, I've been using the classifieds at thirdgen for about 2-3 yrs, and probably made about a dozen good deals. I never used the message boards, so thats why I'm a junior member still.


As for the current arguement, this site is a third gen site, sp the other cars shoud find sites that pertain to their cars. Its not that hard, afterall, we found this site. so they can do that.

Sorry to make the **** stink.

junkyarddog

has anyone ever looked in the local trade papers?...."I want a GTA taillight,...not a 1978 Ford bronco bumper"....and so on...that's pretty tough on your eyes, but that's where the parts are and that's where yee will look! same goes here...I've seen that most folks specify "non-thirdgen" so most nit-wits don't need to waste the time to look!! whaaa whaaa, would you like some cheese with that wine???

I'm sorry but I've got close to 900 posts, discussing thirdgens and related subjects. I've sold a few thirdgen parts, who's to say i can't sell stereo equipment???? or my 3000 GT Mitsubishi service manual, yes, I'll post that on the 3si site too, but how do I know someone here doesn't have a 3KGT parked next to their IROC??? I won't mention any names, but some people are just as narrow minded as can be.

I always drove a "winter beater" except when I moved to Cali. Shame on you if your rolling through slush and road salt with a mint condition thirdgen instead of spending $500-$1000 on a little put-put car that's on it's way to the junker anyhow


just to P---s someone off, I'm going to post my car for sale when I graduate school (and buy another Trans Am/GTA). I will post it as:

COOL JAPANESE CAR!!! '89 TOYOTA COROLLA, high miles,great milage and impossible to earn any type of traffic infraction!!!

if some illiterate fool, opens it up and says, oh no! I can't believe some has posted a non-thirdgen.....and fails to notice the hundreds of other ads for thirdgens, I won't feel sorry for you, I'll blame it on your city's water quality!

iTrader: (2)

heh. how long it take you to figure that out?

to add to this, yeah, i have a winter beater. even though my camaro is a beater, and needs work, i still want to keep it out of salt and slush, and snow.

i keep forgetting something....

as far as i'm concerned, if it's thirdgen related, it's fine. if someone wants to sell the owner's manual for their 3kgt, just note it as such in the topic.

your sample would read as below.

mitsubishi 3KGT manual for sale (not thirdgen related)

see?

quite simple actually. especially if you're selling it for thirdgen parts

430T/A

I your parts aren't thirdgen related, they don't belong on the site. don't take advantage of the free ads.

just because you have a thirdgen, doesn't mean this site is at your disposal. its thirdgen.org, not this guy has a thirdgen, so we'll let him sell parts for other types of cars too, after all, he probably is a nice guy.org

this is an F-body SPECIFIC site, look up the word specific, then you'll agree. no one hear wants to deal with other cars. we come here because all the other parts for other cars, aren't here, so we have much more of a selection. Seeing as how we all drive the same cars, we know their common faults, and we should be able to help each other through those problems. We know the parts that go bad quick, we know the parts people will have an interest in buying, and are scarce in junkyards. thats what this site is about. whats next, a seperate ad section for non-thirdgen parts???? I belive that most peole who use the ads, really don't care for non-thirdgen ads. lets face, you are only taking advantage of the free ads.
We all know this site should really not be free, with all it has to offer, and these ads probably make the webmasters think twice.

I stand by my original statement: if it's not a thirdgen part, SHOVE IT!!

on another note:

the kid who was trying to sell his car for a winter beater, could word it so that everyone knows he knows its junk, and will only survive the winter. it doesn't matter what make a winter beater is, as long as it survives the winter. and who the hell would buy a winter beater over the internet anyway? they are everywhere.
I really didn't want to make a big deal out of this!!

"If your parts aren't thirdgen related, they don't belong on the site. don't take advantage of the free ads." Obviously there are some cheap nit-wits that have no respect for something people are providing to them at no cost. "has anyone ever looked in the local trade papers?" this site isn't a local trade paper is it. "just to P---s someone off, I'm going to post my car for sale when I graduate school (and buy another Trans Am/GTA). I will post it as: *.*" Sounds like someone needs a life besides a message board.

junkyarddog

yes, I certainly need a life.....lol! actually, I won't waste anymore time. I need my car, but I have plenty of non thirdgen related stuff to post online!! let the non-thirdgen ads begin!!!!

just for the record, I advertise anything I sell, thirdgen or not. I put ads in local papers, other web sites, like ebay and f-body, and ofcourse right here on thirdgen. what's wrong with buying and selling with people whom you're already familliar with and trust over the internet???

secondly,....all of the thirdgen parts I've sold and all of the good deals I've made here, more than make up for an item or two that happens to be non-thirdgen related!!!

I'm going to post all six ads (the maximum allowable ads at one time) with non-thirdgen items. I hope you're red in the face and foaming at the mouth while you're trying to find your thirdgen parts in the classifieds........to whom it may concern.

Mark A Shields

Hmmm, unless there are rules stated directly by Dirk the owner of this site, not to post non 3rd Gen stuff, then the people sayin it doesn't belong, have no say.

This is Dirk's site, you're a guest, if he decides to leave things open, then so be it.

I haven't read any rules for the Classifeds as what can be posted, btw.
