allen dodson Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Guys and gals. On ebay the person with the drip rails for sale. Does anybody know who owns this pickup? He has a picture of the rear on a headlight trim rings on ebay also. That is the best looking 521 ive ever seen. I dont have the ebay account so i cant send the person a message. What do you guys and gals think? Can you help me contact this person? Quote Link to comment
Llittle_Llama Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 write a message to him and pm it to me, i'll ask him.....just please dont buy any of his door ding trim...... Quote Link to comment
fiveNdime Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 I don't know if I would buy anything from him if he is willing to scam datto owners. Quote Link to comment

fisch Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 I wrote him Allen. Told him about Ratsun and he said he'd check it out. Though if he reads his drip rail thread he might not feel too welcome, and that is too bad cause it is a sweet ass truck! Quote Link to comment
Llittle_Llama Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 true, but if you have the guts to try and rip someone off, have the guts to face them..... Quote Link to comment
fiveNdime Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 He does have a nice truck. I'm not justifying him but maybe he is just trying to put a value on his time and materials??? Quote Link to comment
Llittle_Llama Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 time+materials= product scissor cut + $4.00 roll of bump trim= rip-off Quote Link to comment
fisch Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 I am with you Five. Personally I don't think he is ripping anyone off. NOT that I think it is worth the price he is asking by a long shot. But he did mention it was plastic and didn't have to. If people don't want to buy it, then don't. No crime here. And if someone buys it, then it was worth it to them. A guys gotta try right? People buy low and sell high all the time. It is his first outting doing this by the sounds of it, he is trying to see what he can get for it, and what kind of market there is or isn't. And maybe he did do something special to it. Has anyone asked him if it was off the shelf? Or what he went through to develop it if anything? I don't care if it is off the shelf myself. If a guy thinks he has found the coolest thing since sliced bread, and thinks he's discovered a potential market for it. Good for him. The market rules and decides what is a good deal and what is a bad one. Missrepresenting a warped head as straight, true and fully rebuilt when it wasn't, and selling it for top dollar- now that would be ripping someone off. Quote Link to comment
Llittle_Llama Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 well, as much as i hate to admit it, i think your right. it's not ugly, plus he is showing you the product in use, not just describing it......could be worse. Quote Link to comment
fisch Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 No way, the guy is posting his truck up for sale. Now we can see more of that truck! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1971-datsun-521-bluebird-pickup_W0QQitemZ220219232878QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item220219232878 Quote Link to comment
