Whiteline Antiroll Bar £260 from ebay/demontweeks

Yes I am, thanks for asking.
What bugs me is everybody says it's a fantastic mod. If you like your Clio why not use this to make it better.
Of course maybe you need some money bad. You probably paid circa £150 for that so you'll be laughing if you double your money. You'll have to wait til Demon Tweeks sells out though. £262 + delivery > £300 + collection.
as much as i'm an arse for posting this when you're trying to sell your arb, i have nothing against someone trying to make a profit. if you had bought ten of these in a group buy and tried to flog them all at £300 each then that would be a touch harsh, but trying to make a quick buck is fine. you're not exactly ripping people off- you're not taking their money and keeping the item. it's for sale, people can either buy it or not. doing this on a forum you have to expect a bit of heat, comes with the territory. you'll get £250 for that on ebay no sweat.
peace

I have wanted one for ages and finally found one. It will be going on my car this weekend BUT, should someone wish to give me £300 for it i will happily part with it. I dont see any issue with this? If you had put in the legwork like I did then I wouldn't expect any different...

This man understands.
Cant wait to get this on my car, but if someone wants it more than me before I get a chance to fit it at the weekend then they can have it for £300.
OR how about save your money and not bother putting a metal bar on the car which will cost about £10 to buy each in bulk, if anyone is actually stupid enough to spend £300 on a metal bar i can give you the number for the local mental hospital because you need sectioning!
** btw i didnt mean for this to go after those two comments they wernt there when i started typing.. i was aiming at the ebay add.

Yeh put you are a Paedofile and IIRC they get discounts on stuff.
Says the dirty Northener :rasp:
Re: the ad, its clear that Demon Tweeks dont want to remove their listing, so they're just bunged the price up to a daft level to put people off bidding/buying. Isnt that obvious? No one would actually pay £260 for a Whiteline ... they even state that the price will go back down once they get some stock!!
£260 for an ARB that doesn't exist vs. £300 for one that does...
To be honest, Demon Tweeks are completely taking the **** charging that for a pre order for stock they don't yet have, and quite possibly won't be able to fulfil with the stock incoming. They are in the exact same position as all the other stockists (K Tec, JAM, etc) who are still taking orders, but at the usual price.
well direct from whiteline it would cost this

Yep, been down that route too. £377 AND an 8 week at least wait! Even found contacts in Australia that could ship it to me privately but still worked out at £90 shipping.
Thats fine, join the queue then. Nobody is forcing you to pay £300 for one to have one now.
Skeeter you 300% fail at trying to sell it for that price, and clearly that is the intention of Demon Tweeks to put people off, rather than getting a major backlog which as you said will completely tie up their stock when they get new stock.
And about sending out messages to 46 retailers, asif!

Bizzarly, a Subaru specialist company! They don't stock anything other than Subaru parts normally, so I can only assume they ordered one by accident and as its not advertised anywhere on their website it was just sat in a corner?
If you can find one, good on you. Put a bit of effort in and you can get the reward. Better than checking 2 or 3 major suppliers and then just giving up, and then firing abuse at someone because they went the extra mile and found one.
Yeah, as I have said, the feeling I got from the stockists is that Whiteline are not particularly reliable on their shipping times or quantities. Most were straight up and said they had no idea when they would be in, or how many they would get.
Although I expect someone at Whiteline UK has recieved a lot of calls this week from stockists enquiring about them. Hopefully they will twig and ensure they order plenty.
