CL wants to make money whenever you sell stuffs that you make, or something that you tend do as a business.This is BS. CL pisses me off.

That was the last rear strut bar you can sell.
If you want to become a vendor & make/ sell
them contact IB trends from the home page.

I understand, but keep in mind that CL clearly states in their terms and conditions of membership that you cannot sell parts other than your own from your cars. if you manufacture parts, or buy them and resell them as a business, then you must apply for approval as a paid vendor. This is one of their ways to pay their costs, and to make a profit on the website. Think about it...As much as Cl wants to help the Lexus community, it is still a business, and businesses are in business to make a profit. Why would they pay for all of us to use their site for free? Every company has a business model that they need to set forth and follow so that they can continue as a viable entity. Otherwise, they would close down, and we would lose this resource. I don't work for CL, but I do understand....
You know it Steve. BTW, David also tries to make enough to cover his costs, so we should all remember to ocassionally send in a donation, or to buy his products, as he keeps his prices down for the community. This site is not free to operate either. David is just more relaxed about his selling policies on his site, as long as your products are solid. If you plan to continue to sell on his webpage, because think about it...You are gaining your customer base from his efforts, whether you have 1 or 100 customers, it would be courteous of you to contact david and ask him his thoughts about selling as a business on his site. This way you keep in good standing with him and us Moderators, and you don't get a thread locked here, or worse, banned from the site. Several of us OP's know well the issue that was here for a while from one vendor who is no longer allowed on this site.

Thank You Ryan, Guys you also have to keep in mind We mod for FREE!
I'm a car/ parts junky & check 3 websites every night looking for deals.
CL asked me to help out & I said sure I'm already there anyway.
These are not my policies, I'm just supposed to help uphold them whether
I agree w/ them or not. Lets face it Scott popped you once for this & I
came in on the back end & picked up on the 2nd time. It's a matter of
time till a S-Mod or Admin sees it & squashes it not as politely as Scott or
I did. Then I'll get the PM of 'Dude WTF'.
OP you may just want to be more tactful & not as obvious when posting
FS items......
I'm deff interested in buying one of these could you pm me with th price thanks man also I have a 99 sc400 and really want a front strut bar what one are u running that fits? thanks bro
Good luck with the project! I know you'll make some good ones.
this is why they got mad.
Hello, this is in reference to the rear strut bar thread you started. In the thread you were organizing a possible group by and production run of the RSB. In fact you actually built a fixture. Here on Club Lexus only Vendors are allowed to do this kind of sales. I realize you have not actually started making these but your thread clearly stated you are planning it. Now people are posting up wanting to buy them. Your thread has been removed; please do not re-post it as it was. You are welcome to post pictures of what you are making and get members reactions but anytime it starts leading to you producing multiple parts for sale appropriate action will be taken.
