Default Vendor Pricing

Why don't the vendors post prices in the parts section? Wouldn't it help us all with pricing if we could get a little competition pricing?

I completely agree. The only time it does not apply is on the type of products like seats and steering wheels where the customization will always change the price, and everyone likes something different. However, they could at least post the price of the item they have in the pictures they post for display purposes.

Perhaps some vendors could pop in and give an explanation?

There is no way they could list all the prices of everything they sell, They do list prices if having a group buy or sale items, In my opinion that is the norm for everyone. Is it too hard to go to the site and look around? It is called doing your homework.

I understand withholding the pricing when things can be ordered and changed which would change the price of the kit. Nobody is asking them to list their entire inventory on here. I just don't get why if they are advertising pricing for lets say a supercharger kit, why not list a base price or maybe the forum pricing? And yea they do websites but half of the time it's not listed on there either. Or they could just take all the vendors out of the classified section. Let them list in the vendor section only.

They don't list prices sometimes because they will price match and its called competition...


Or they could just take all the vendors out of the classified section. Let them list in the vendor section only.
or you could read the rules and guidelines and know the answer to that statement
