Would like to sell new unopened G100

Hi Folks,



I won a G100 on meguiars.com recently. The problem is, I already own one, and don't have enough arms to use two at a time. So I'd like to offer it to autopia.com folks for $150, which is exactly what www.autodetailingsolutions.com is selling it for. The difference is I won't charge tax and if you live near where I work or live (in South Bay - LA county) I'll deliver it to you. I'll charge you what I get charged for shipping, which won't be too much on UPS ground.



It includes:



G-100 Porter Cable polisher, branded by Meguiars but offers lifetime warrantee

W-64DA backing plate

W8006 6 1/2" soft Buff pad



$150



I haven't opened any of it and I can take pictures if you want.







MODS: Sorry if it isn't kosher to sell on this board. I tried abay but I can't figure out how to sell it on that board. Please spank me and remove this post :(

Quite alright to sell here! Welcome! A moderator will probably just move your thread to the appropriate section for trading (which is hard to find I must admit).
 
i think if its 150 new, you should lower your price some. it isn't upopened because the picture has the box open. it goes down in value as soon as your crack that seal, much like everything else
 
in fairness that seems to be just the box megs shipped it to him that is open. What is the difference between the g100 and the PC 7424?
 
Open or not the price is steep for someone who won it and just wants to get rid of it. Especially when Lowes has them for $99.

IMO Meg's should have left the contest open to those who dont have a pc rather then let someone get it and sell it :nixweiss



Glowin97x: The G100 and pc are basically the same, a porter cable. The G100 is just branded under Meguiars

thanks!

In that case i would agree with the others regarding the price
 
I congratulate you on your winnings but agree with the others. You need to make it a better bargain in order to move it. Had you considered keeping the new one and selling the old?

Well there is a small difference. The G100 comes with a lifetime warranty.

Is the warranty worth the extra $50? For $100 for a PC I'd just get a new one and not have to worry about sending it in and all that. All my opinion of course, different strokes for different folks. But thank you for clarifying, for some reason I thought the PC came with some sort of warranty, shows what I know :o :)
 
Hi Guys,



I did consider lowering the price, but I'd like to make a sale if anyone was thinking of getting one anyway from autodetailingsolution, this is just an alternative. If that person is near where I live or work, I'm willing to drop off. This is mostly to avoid buyer/sell trust issue. If no one wants it, then I'll go through ebay or something with a bit more protections.



The items are unopened as I stated, only the shipping box was opened.



G-100 is the same thing as a PC 7424, only difference is it has Meguiars silkscreened on it and Meguiars honors a lifetime warantee.



When I won it, I told them I already had one, and asked if equivalent credit was possible, they said they perfered to give me the G100. I didn't want to be a troublesome ingrate, so I accepted the G100.
 
Hi Guys,



I checked my PMs, and a few people are are undercutting my offer. Yes, I know the price is higher than what people are used to seeing in Lowe's or some other online sites.



I'm still trying to market this to someone who wants an alternative to the G-100 package sold on autodetailingsolutions.com, by getting no sales tax and/or shipping. I'm not willing to go down on price just yet. I'd rather just sit on it at this price. To be more specific on the delivery. I'm willing to deliver it to anyone within a 5-10 mile radius of Torrance, CA or Monterey Park, CA or places on the way.



I assure you it is a PC with a lifetime warantee through Meguiars. Nothing has been opened. And the warantee does go to whomever purchases it.



I don't want to insult anyone with that price, I had purchased my own set for that price only a few months ago, and I want to "feel" like I won it. I know I'm really limiting my market set, but prior to buying it myself, I would have taken this offer.
 
Congrats on your G100 win.



I think the reality of the situation is that you are now essentially selling on the 2nd hand, re-sale or private seller market (whatever you want to call it), even though the product may not be "used". People don't expect to pay full price on the re-sale market. They can pay full price from a reputable established business and get the security that comes with that. In order to convince buyers it is a good value on the re-sale market, there needs to be a reasonable discount price off of full price as an incentive .... or they'll just buy it new from an establised vendor.



Most online shoppers don't pay sales tax if the vendor is not located in their state anyway (whether or not this is legal I won't debate). I expect shipping on a G100 is around $15 give or take but you're asking the buyer to pay for shipping. In other words, your offer on a resold item is for full price and for full price you won't get many private sale buyers.



Those offers you are receiving are most likely closer to the true market value of that item. Remember, the "market price" is simply what both the buyer and seller agree the item is worth. If it's not worth it for you to sell at that price, then just keep it as a backup. Otherwise, accept that you'll have to lower your price from full price to entice buyers to pick yours over one from a bona fide vendor.



Just my 2 cents. Good luck with your polisher. And remember, whatever you get is gravy since you won the item anyway.
 
Your market is probably 0 people who live within that radius that do not have a PC and want one. People are cutting your offer down because you keep saying it is an alternative to ADS's package...but the alternative to that package is people choose the PC from lowes because it is the same thing at a lower price. It's not some great alternative youre giving in my opinion.



If your serious about moving it and wanting to feel like you "won" it why not just bring down the price...is money really that important these days rather than passing on a deal as a good deed..sheesh :o
 
Although $150 is higher than the cost of what can be obtained at lowes (where you will pay sales tax). Does the lowes come with a velcro backing plate? Does it come with a foam pad? If the answer is no then $150 is not to far off as far as retail. It's gonna cost you an additional $9 for a pad and $16 for backing plate. I think if you offer $130 shipped free you would have no problem selling it. JMO
