Maybe it's just me but this section seems to be increasingly filled with commercial sellers. Not long ago,it was more for e60 owners offering their vehicles and the like. It's fine to have the commercial side, but come on guys let's try to keep it a bit more for ourselves. One only has to scroll the page to see there is a bit of a problem.

I agree with you but by the sound and length of the replies these commercial sellers get it appears that there are a big % of the forum members who like to mod and update.

I don't see it as a problem either as long as they're offering us members good value and service. If the price is right, it doesn't matter where you buy it from.

To all others, please don't misunderstand me. Knowing what the dealers have for us is fine, but it just seems to be crowding out what private e60 owners might want to use the space for.

Most sellers including ones from fellow members do not post prices. It's classic Sales 101. If you post your price, you'll immediately lose anyone who can't afford that amount. It's better to have people PM you to discuss and you can open negotiations.

I think it is stupid. It's like the sellers have something to hide. If the prices are posted a buyer will know what the sellers wants. If the price is to igh then it is finished and both the seller and buyer have saved some time. If the price is fair or close to what a buyer wants to pay, negotionos open when the buyer contacts the seller with a counter offer or more info.

It's not stupid if you're a seller but I understand your point from a buyer's view.
