need opinion

i have a post in classifieds classifieds if u have time to read it pls. do so (just the first post)
and then tell me if u understood it as if i was selling a set of lock nuts (4 pcs of locks, 1 lock for each wheel) or 1 set of lock nuts (4 locks per wheel) for $20.

why am i asking this now?
one guy from this board wanted to get a set,we meet up,then he said he thought i was selling 1 set of locks=totalling to 16 pcs of nuts for $20. so he didnt get it and said it was too expensive. so we go our separate ways and now i just want to figure out if my fs post need to be modified or do some peeps just dont have respect for other peoples' time.

i have sold locks to 2 guys on this board and everything went smoothly.

TIA for the responses.

hey eric, what u are selling is very understandable.
people should atleast know or have an idea of what lock nuts are b4 even commit for a buy......imagine 16 lock nuts with 4 lock nuts each wheel???...hmmmm......

if they think that's too expensive, tell them to check at CT or somewhere and see for themself!

$20 is a good price plus no tax too!

Isn't 16 locks 4 sets of locks? 4x4=16 last time I went to school

Don't worry about it, it's his mistake I think. $20 is cheap anyways...lock nuts go for like $50-$100 new.

Where do you get them? Your'e getting ripped.

Crappy Tire......Mc Gaurd.....for the Civic.......$24.99.

The ones for the tunner wheels........which you might not need.....start at $99. (yeah, I know the "tunner series" come with 16 peices).

They told me the ones for $24.99, would not fit......(would stick out.....not fit in the hole.....I would need the tunner series, they are skinnier)......I'm glad I take everything that everyone says with a grain of salt, becuse they DID fit.......$99 my ***.:fustrated

To the guy that sold the rims to my friend.....which I have now......You ripped my friend off for $80.....and they wern't even a brand name locknut! Not nice......not nice at all.

Not one..... ........ but 2 for you!

( not ment for bbarbulo, but for the mechanic )


Buy the way, eric......what kind are they?

The reason I'm asking is.....the Crappy Tire brand are $14.99 - $19.99. (depending on the car/rim)

Yeah, I have the skinny tuner nuts with the torx kinda driver, and one (the locking one I guess) is a really odd shape. They are soooo mint. As for $100, I would be so lucky to get my hands on a set of 7 sided Kouygen (spelling folks ) in black

PULOVR, I'll stand in line behind you to give that guy two too
