buick man Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Hey not to sound sour here, but isn't one of the Buick - Buy/Sell Forum rules here is that if you post here, you state a price for your parts? I suppose that since this is a car enthusiasts hobby site I would guess this rule helps to keep everyone within that overall purpose and decorum.

Guest MARTINOS1 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 buick man your right, but i dont kow prices, i have to wait on zip codes to tell people how much.. plus, i have to go look at the part to make sure im not gonna rip anyone off when i describe it, or i like to send them pictures b4 they spend there hard earned money...sorry for not stating prices, i would love it if this forum had a price forum for used parts ,so we are being fair to each other....thanks...............hooligan32... sorry, EVERYONE wants the tail lights on these cars, i have them but as usual they are pitted.....

buick man Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I hear you, but just do a search and set a price. The zip code has nothing to do with you setting a price for the item itself. Put your zip code location on the posting and the buyer can get a rough idea on shipping costs. With that said, if you want to conduct an auction and or are fishing for highest and best possible, then use ebay to sell your parts as it appears you are doing. If you are gonna use this site, it is kinda of the accepted procedure on club sites to post your part with pictures and full descriptions with a stated price with a statement that shipping is extra to where ever it goes. A lot of folks, like to contribute to the hobby and come here first to offer their parts to sell and help out a fellow enthusiast's quest for much need parts to keep the hobby alive and well.With Ebay it is a different mantra altogether - for a completely different purpose.

buick man Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Do you have the leak down and compression numbers available for the engine?That would help sell it as well as any receipts and docs pertaining to the rebuild and who did the work.

DocsGal Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Buick Man- IMHO-I didn't get the impression that he was shopping around for highest prices at all. He's just giving everyone here a chance to jump on parts first. I see tons of people who list stuff on here with no prices and deals get done thru pm's all the time, and he DID direct people to his Ebay store, it's just everyone insists on hammering people for parts once they post that they have something available, whether it is thru Ebay or one time sales. I see it all the time on here where people are selling cars & parts with no price listed. Half the time I don't know what to ask for a part either and would much rather someone make an offer and that gives me the option of either taking it or declining. Isn't that the way a great many people do it on here if they are unsure of the value of their item, or is it more important to fleece the unsuspecting?Docs Gal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MARTINOS1 Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 the master has spoken...thank you docs gal...you are exactly right, plus what people don't realize is i might be in a good mood when they tell me what they want and give it cheaper than if i put a price tag on it here. Or, i might even give free shipping if they are close enough..what is the big deal here, if you need a part,,,email me,,if i have it i tell you a price that's fair add shipping and every one's happy...maybe this is why we use ebay, no problems, you get your outrageous price that you asked for and kill them with shipping charges...hmmmm maybe I'll add more to ebay now.... update 3-9-11 motor and trans are gone...djohn81641 i am pulling the steering colume out tomorrow, if you want that part i'll take 10.00. this will include shipping...let me know....thanks to my new friends..

PONTIAC1953 Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 hi martinos1, does the buick have a brake fluid resevoir that mounts near the driver's side hood hinge and spring ?, if so, how much will you ask for it ?, charles coker, 1953 pontiac tech advisor, thank you.

PONTIAC1953 Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 hi martinos1, i didn't know wether or not if buick still used the "remote" brake fluid resevoir in 1957, i wasn't asking about a treadle vac master cylinder assembly. charles coker, 1953 pontiac tech advisor.

PONTIAC1953 Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 hey martino, you didn't even answer my question about about a remote brake fluid resevoir, or if the 57 buick still used them like in 56. i guess we're not speaking the same language here. charles coker, 1953 pontiac tech advisor.

Smartin Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 57 did not have a remote reservoir. What you see on the treadle vac unit is the reservoir. Same on 58's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PONTIAC1953 Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 hi adam, i'm very well educated about treadle vac's, where like most old brake master cylinders, the resevoir and master cylinder are cast in one piece. what i didn't know, was if buick had kept using the firewall mounted remote resevoir like in 1956, so adam, where there's a remote resevoir, you actually have two resevoirs. charles coker, 1953 pontiac tech advisor.

Guest MARTINOS1 Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 there is a black coated BOOSTER behind the master cylender on 57 buicks ROADMASTERS.. the brake bar goes through this inside the underdash to the pedal..the BOOSTER is sealed, has a gasket and is made to hold pressure...now what the canister on the side fender does that has a line that goes to the bottom of the master cylender i dont know..we can talk mopar all day, i just happen to own a 57 buick, i am not the master...the grasshopper has spoken...

buick man Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 DocGal: Well actually no it is not. The rules specify a price must be given. Take a few photos, state a price and terms, a part number and application and there is little to no confusion. Don't know what to ask as per price. Then do a search on this site. All past posting are archived for just this reason. If that does not work then post for help to determine a fair price from the collective wisdom of the membership on this site.With that said, if you want to conduct an auction use ebay or other similar sites that are out there. Yes, and posting to let everyone know you are doing this should be OK. My point was there should however be an established mechanism on this site to do just that. Go read my latest posting on Buy/Sell rules at the top of this forum.Best Regards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PONTIAC1953 Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 hi martinos1, the pedal rod is part of the treadle vac power brake unit. the pressure you think that the booster holds is a negative pressure "vacuum", the cannister you mention, is the vacuum resevoir. between the treadle vac, cannister and the engine is a vacuum check valve, to keep the vacuum in the resevoir cannister, fpr several power assisted applications of the brake pedal if the engine stalls. charles coker, 1953 pontiac tech advisor.
