Sorry but I think thats pretty harsh to be honest, entirely up to the seller what they ask and if you don't like then don't buy. If the seller is out to make a profit then good luck to them. You can always make an offer.
Hardtops and fitting kits do fetch a pretty penny, tops for the Z3 still go for 7 to 900 quid and most will sell the fitting kit sperately which are worth upto 300 quid and can be hard to get hold of.

Yep - plus an extra £240 to get it transported to the UK.pvr said:
Ironically, having bought the hard top and got it shipped here, I've never actually used it and it's sitting unused in my garage. I'll probably sell it with the car (and with the side covers which, having bought them and got them professionally sprayed black, I have also never used...)
If I sell something....I want as much as I can get for it. The buyer wants to pay as little as possible. Somewhere there is a meeting ground. Is the buyer also an A** Wipe or blood sucking pikey for wanting to pay less? If so, pass me the soothing cream for my sore bum!
Entirely up to the seller on ebay to sell what he likes in whatever separated out manner he chooses.
No different really to breaking a car and selling the parts. I do however understand why people make the comments they do and not a way I'd want to trade.
Market forces will however dictate if it's a good deal or not for buyers and for them to decide if £1,100 for a damaged hardtop is a good deal...

but as usual plenty of interest on these.Either offer them for sale now at that priceon the forum, or remain on eBay. You can't make conditional sales on the forum.
I don't blame you! Can't believe all the fuss and issue with this.
There is a guy here selling a hardtop with covers for £900.
This is discounted (less money) for forum members than what he has them on eBay.
He has given courtesy by saying he can't sell them at that discounted price if there are bids on eBay (i.e someone non-forum offers a better price before they sell on here).
What is wrong with this?
People always have stuff on here for sale as well as eBay, but I thought this was okay if offering a forum discount? Surely if that item sells on eBay before here then it's a fairly obvious, and permissible, sale condition? Or are we now saying you can't sell on both?
GLWTS, hope the insults and negativity of a few haven't put you off selling or using the forum.

There's been no threats, no-one's privacy has been broken.. People are entitled to their free speech.
Sometimes it pisses me off, but that's how it works.
Some people think you're an asswipe for selling two items which so obviously should be sold together and relies on the lack of knowledge of a potential buyer not to see your delboy ways.
Some people think you're entitled to do whatever the hell you like with the items you actually own and others should get off their high horse and stop trying to tell you what to do, especially as they a: don't own the items, b: aren't looking to buy said items.
Whatever their opinion, they've got a right to express it.
Personally, I think the mods have done just fine letting this run.

The mods on this forum are excellent and do a great job. They treat us like adults and don't nanny the forum taking the view that there will be disagreements and arguments but mostly us grown ups are able to sort it ourselves (or not). They step in when necessary.
This is one of the reasons it's a great forum and a lot of ex zed members stick around.
