#306208 Jona (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 4016 Costly Mistakes 1 Year, 8 Months ago   Man, throughout the years I have spent more time and money on parts, headgear, riding gear, etc. simply because it looked good on the Internet when in fact I should have seen, touched and tried on first and then shopped the Internet for price, a picture might paint a thousand words, but, if ya can't repeat them in public, the hell good is it   Logged     Ride till ya get there, and, drink till she\'s cute   The administrator has disabled public write access. #306213 Pfluegerak (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 219 Re:Costly Mistakes 1 Year, 8 Months ago   Jona, Which is why this forum and it's members are so great. We try stuff, tell what's good and bad about it. So in one way, it saves us some costly mistakes, because others went through it For those that had the guts and experimented, had their fare share of oops and successes, I thank you for sharing that in the forum. Sharing of ideas and such, it's great....really gets your mind thinking.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #306223 greenpus (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1674 Re:Costly Mistakes 1 Year, 8 Months ago   also, keep in mind, food always tastes better when someone else cooks it   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #306320 Mark7 (Moderator) Look for me on MSN chat if you want. Moderator Posts: 2051 Re:Costly Mistakes 1 Year, 8 Months ago   I might buy something at an internet price, but I always lay hands on it someway. Or I make sure that the return policy is iron-clad so I'm not stuck with something that doesn't fit right or has poor quality. We all get burned sometime, but doing it this way seems to work for me. -M7   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #306402 sctnmart (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 195 Re:Costly Mistakes 1 Year, 8 Months ago   when you fine something cheap on the internet, and a local store carries it, sometimes they will match the internet price. I have gotten stuff at a good price that way.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #306423 ride2escape (User) RIDE HARD BUT SAFE Expert Boarder Posts: 436 Re:Costly Mistakes 1 Year, 8 Months ago   or see something you want in a retail store or a dealership---get the part #---then search on E-bay for the same #---works for electronics as well---same some $$$ for more chrome!!!! or chrome polish!!!!

I develop a relationship with local vendors and work with them to match pricing. When I say match you have to take in to consideration freight/shipping so if they are a a few bucks more it's fine. Plus if something goes haywire or it doesn't fit I have a face to talk to. In the end I prefer to spend my money local.   Logged     Last Edit: 2010/09/02 09:51 By takehikes.   http://aeechoppers.blogspot.com/   The administrator has disabled public write access. #306446 Boatmark (User) Roadie fan, just blowin' down the road... Platinum Boarder Posts: 2733 Re:Costly Mistakes 1 Year, 8 Months ago   I buy a lot of stuff on the 'net, but only after I get info on the product from others first!   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
