As a Junior memebr of about 3 days I dont really have much say about things but just to put my 2 pennies in.

There are a couple of things that i need on my niggle list and have been looking through ebay for parts, Some of the ones I need are from the sponsor and are on sale. About 50% off what they normally are according to the ad.

This has brought some bits in line with what others on ebay are selling for so I would be happy paying a few more quid to get it from the sponsors account rather than nobody (sorry nobody as you are prob members on here anyway lol). Keeps everything running smoothly.

If there was a big difference in the price I think the first thing I would do is ring them and explain I am a member and the same product is available for less and can they do something for me.

There may be circumstances why the part is more exspensive i.e it has actually been tested and if there is a problem you have a quick resolve rather than the 2 week ebay returns bull. Plus chances are if you need a part you do actually need it and cant wait 2 weeks to get your money back to go to the sponsor and buy it anyway lol.

Obviously for some unique parts you are going to pay more..... thats business but a little discount for forum members would be nice. Im sure there are a lot of users on here who would not mind paying a donation for such a membership, I have been with a lot of forums over the years that do that.

Once again I dont want to offend by sticking my nose in as a newbie but I have been around forums a long time.

PS this more of a banter post ..... sorry for hijacking thread
