Group buy rip off

Post by tarkus »

whats with the group buy of spark plugs?

I have just been to my local car spares and paid $99.54 for 6 NGK PFR7M plugs (thats $16.59 each)

I also got a timing belt for $105.00 (GATES)
Power steering belt $24.54
fuel filter $22.55

someone is making money on the group buy!

hahhaa funny...obviously some of the members in the forum know where to get cheap part but dont want to share with us until its over. this topic about sparkplugs go back to the time when MRFT000 ask where can he finds them in Aus but know 1 reply so he have to import them form UK. now before you call me making profit out of this group buy then look at the tax invoice ok???

I did NOT say who was making the profit, but the list price for the plugs is $21.80 each. So if the guy you got them from is saying he gave you wholesale cost, ?

I missed out on the group buy, and decided to try the local shop. I am not trying to keep it all to myself.

I just go to my local BURSON store, they are very helpful and can source most of the parts I ever need.

They are on Canterbury Road, Bayswater,VIC, 3153 phone number is (03) 9729 9266

If anyone needs me to ask them for any parts send me a PM, and I will try my best. I only work 2 minutes from the shop.

TV2048 I have sent you a PM.
