I wanted them really bad. I would like to know how much you sold them for.

Oh the beauty of the free market, I am sure you got a good deal nonetheless, and good luck with the headlights, they are definitely a MUST upgrade on the w203.
Why don't you tell us what you paid for them so that other buyers AND sellers can gauge what they are worth in today's free market.

You think you're innocent because you unsolicitedly responded to this ad and started it out with "Good deal"? The statement you made after that is what set the price.
Proof and facts? You have yet to prove anything let alone provide a single fact. The only thing you proved is that someone was asking for $850 for a used set of lights but you don't know what they acutally sold for. Hell, I'm asking $100k for my car but I'm 99.9% positive nobody will buy it.
Once the deal is done, I may decide to disclose what I paid to potential buyers and sellers.

I am 100% (not 99.9%) sure that no one will buy your C32 for your $100k asking price when they could get a brand new C55 for less.
Someone's sad that I informed the seller that he could probably get more than his $600 OBO asking price, which he at least got $100 more ($700 was his latest offer).
I love it how you try to haggle this guy down on Treo 650, by saying that you could get it for $299 brand new when his asking price was $360 OBO and he eventually sold it on ebay for $398.

What a hipocrite you are. In this case I inform the seller that his price is below market value, and in the link above you inform the seller that his price is too high. What's the difference bro? One case, its protecting the seller, the other case is protecting potential buyers. This is a free country, and a free democracy.
I don't want to waste anymore energy on you, its not worth my time. So, I'll be the bigger man here and say blah blah blah....you're right, I'm wrong. Nuf said, last comment from me on this one buddy.
Good luck with those headlights, they are definitely a cool upgrade to your car. Oh, and also get those clear fogs and clear mirror indicators to complete the look. SteveNL should be able to hook you up on that for a good price.

We all agree that the idea of a seller is to get the highest price for an item he is selling while the buyer tries to pay the lowest. Which one are you? You're like that nagging person at the casino who has no money on the table but loves telling everybody how to play.

I don't blame you. Shipping and packaging them will be a big hassle for these lights.

As discussed, I called you on Saturday and didn't hear back from you then I called again on Monday afternoon and left another message.

I didn't bail out. Opie and I talked last week and I thought we were still good until now. See the thread above.
Didn't that skank of a mother teach you to think before acting?

And in the end I was right. The seller was able to get at least $750 as per my original post. So to answer your question, yes my mother taught me well, God rest her soul.
