FWIW, I think ppl are having a hard time justifying paying you for something you didn't buy...personally, I could go $125 on it.

Why would that matter if it is a good deal?

I wouldn't consider $40 off for a used item that good of a deal. Yes, its listed as minimal use; but used is used. Besides, Bram, it's pure profit for him at this point. I know you're playing Devil's Advocate, and that's fine; but I'm trying to point out a bit of a flaw in the logic here, that's all.

I'll be honest, I am not looking for an argument. I just see way to many people try to sell something and people come on to their ad complaining about the price or that something is wrong with it. Unless you are buying it or asking questions about it it, why post anything negative? Who cares what the person price is? If you are interesting in buying it then by all means ask away.

Now with this product, there are no moving parts to ware out, so IMO it being used means nothing.
So $40 dollars off a new one is still $40 in your pocket. just saying.

If the whole Christmas gift part had been left out, this would be a great deal.

So if someone gave you $1 million, because it was a gift, it is now worth $20. yea, that makes sense, thanks for cluttering my thread.

Price dropped to $230 paypal shipped. thats $60 off normal price.

Hey OP take out Christmas gift and then he said its a GREAT deal.

So for todays sales lesson 101
1. When selling something never give info on how you ontained what you are selling or if it was a gift or how much you originally paid for your item that is for sale.

2. Keep your description to a minimum as to not confuse the sale of your item.

3. Now the most important part. Caveat Emptor. So you ask what that means.
Here it is:

[Latin, Let the buyer beware.] A warning that notifies a buyer that the goods he or she is buying are "as is," or subject to all defects.
When a sale is subject to this warning the purchaser assumes the risk that the product might be either defective or unsuitable to his or her needs.
This rule is not designed to shield sellers who engage in Fraud or bad faith dealing by making false or misleading representations about the quality or condition of a particular product. It merely summarizes the concept that a purchaser must examine, judge, and test a product considered for purchase himself or herself.
The modern trend in laws protecting consumers, however, has minimized the importance of this rule. Although the buyer is still required to make a reasonable inspection of goods upon purchase, increased responsibilities have been placed upon the seller, and the doctrine of caveat venditor (Latin for "let the seller beware") has become more prevalent. Generally, there is a legal presumption that a seller makes certain warranties unless the buyer and the seller agree otherwise. One such Warranty is the Implied Warranty of merchantability. If a person buys soap, for example, there is an implied warranty that it will clean; if a person buys skis, there is an implied warranty that they will be safe to use on the slopes.
A seller who is in the business of regularly selling a particular type of goods has still greater responsibilities in dealing with an average customer. A person purchasing antiques from an antique dealer, or jewelry from a jeweler, is justified in his or her reliance on the expertise of the seller.
If both the buyer and the seller are negotiating from equal bargaining positions, however, the doctrine of caveat emptor would apply.


This concludes our daily lesson of sales 101

Very well stated.
Personally, I think it's a great deal. Saves the buyer $60 as OP stated. The product is still worth something...not like a snowflake sweater in Hawaii the day after Christmas.

I love my Sprint Booster, a little 'twitchy' in stop and go traffic. But, boy what a difference!
My 203hp feels like 250hp, the Mini JUMPS and SCREAMS with just a touch of the go pedal!

Yes it does. It make a huge difference in how your throttle works. It does not add power, just make the gas pedal react faster. Any SB owner will tell you they can not live without it.

agreed, without this blipping the throttle has a delay, esp when heel toeing and speed match the engine. my mcs has pretty much a 1sec delay which is bogus, esp after only ever driving cable throttles.

(only expect to pay little to nothing if the "owner" found it in a car parked somewhere and is selling it for a price of a rock to you in an alley way lol)
