So your gunna screw him down on price then tell him his postage price is to high and your going to get someone else to pick it up? Retro ford's price on thier own website is 333 pounds for delivery to Australia! Or you could do what i did and get it from your good friend SMCKA  Who has the biggest and best range of parts in australia backed up with the best service.

Oh okay Mick, so you would recommend smcka? Firstly, why would I want to buy another kit as I already have one.? You said you paid 330 UK Postage and then you say you bought a kit from smcka.? Which is it? Mod Edit: Off topic component of this post has been removed.

Lets not get off track and start forming negative conclusions based on theories and assumptions.

Mickas, if your intention for starting this thread was to promote Retroford's business, you have failed!
For starters, the information in your various posts is full of inaccuracies and contradictions. In your first post, you state "Dave always gives 10% discount for orders over 500 Pounds" then later you say the discount is not automatic, instead the buyer has to ask for it.
The shipping charges you quoted are clearly inaccurate and your calculations do not take into account customs duty or removal of VAT.
You then go on to insult other forum members who question your calculations or try to relay their experiences with the company. I am sure Dave from Retroford would not be too happy if he saw this thread and the potential damage it could do to his business.
In summary, pull your head in or take your undermining posts elsewhere!

If not wanting a great forum corrupted by posts designed to create an opportunity to bag another forum member makes us '****ing idiots' then I guess we must be...
If the original post being designed to create an opportunity wasnt true, you wouldnt have taken the first opportunity you had, to bring up your mates' competitior in a derogatory sense. You would have also posted the great news on RSM if your only intent was to help as many people as possible.
I dont think the forum community here are '****ing idiots', its more like we are well and truely over games that have no purpose other than to run down others.
In my personal view...those games are not welcome here, now or ever....
If you need to play these games in order to enjoy your time here, you need to find somewhere else to enjoy your time. If you can stop playing these games, we are more than happy to enjoy your input and interaction....it is as simple as that.

I never bagged another forum member util your mate mick b mentioned his friend smacka... Then I dug up the shiyt and gave it a spray... mick b threw the first stone... then stuck like shyt to a blanket...
all i was doing was trying to promote someone else other than smacka... He must be scared of competition if he got all you guys to post your verbal diarrhea... Its funny how his prices dropped when competition came around...
Even funnier how he is sill ripping your guys off with chinese crap for top dollar... I laugh at you !!
I pity anyone else trying to start out and promote themselves... For them i say forget this forum as it is the SMACKA forum !!
This forum is for narrow minded people who don't like any other comments or influences...

Mickas, promote means uplift/improve, bagging out is not promoting and is contrary to forum rules...especially when the comments are defamitory and could land you in court. There has always been competition in Australia...TVE and Quickco were probably the first competitors, I can assure you neither of these guys bagged each other out, nor employed anyone else to do so. Im sure if you were to have a conversation with Smcka, you would find out that when he stepped up his business activities and started dealing in bulk quantities, he dropped his prices...disappointingly for you, there is nothing more sinister than that involved. It is commonsense business practice. I for one, and Im sure I can speak for many, will defend anyone who is unfairly targeted on this forum or anywhere else for that matter. I would even defend you if you were a victim of someone like yourself. Get over your obsession with Smcka...it has ruined your reputaion. Lastly, anyone or any business who can provide enrichment to the Classic Ford scene in Australia always have been and always will be welcome on this forum, whether they provide services, parts, new, used whatever. The only thing that will not be tolerated is promotion of any sort through defaming, belittling or badmouthing competitors, this is what you have proven to excell at Mickas and why you have been recieving the replys you have recieved. You have been given the opportunity to have your say, your say is yet to deliver anything constructive or even reasonable for that matter. This will be your last chance to pull your head in and learn from the situation you have created.

People are and will always be free to choose how they spend/waste there money.
Mickas is trying to highlight an alternate option (regularly )which clearly the NSW small Ford club/classic Ford Forum take exception to.
It is interesting that some forum members can make liable comments and have them removed by moderators to never be seen again even though requested to be re-posted or have them sent via pm for the purpose of legal action only to be denied, yet when looking out for some .......
Keep up the good work mods?. By the way how many parts do you buy from XXXXXX during your rebuilds? None?Why?
