    Agreed. Drowell’s 2010 D4 sold really quickly most likely he had so many good accessories on it. Otherwise a 2010 D4 is no different from any other 2010 D4 on the market.

    "always better that someone else us them" !! Is that right? So someone who can afford a D4 in the first place comes along and makes a stupid offer for bits in excellent condition and you let him have them knowing he's probably thinking what a mug you are?
    Crap.
    For example: I put a fridge in real good condition up for 200 bucks and a smart arse came along and says "I'll give you 50". On yer bike mate. Then a young couple come up and are quite willing to pay the 200..... so I gave them a 100 back. They were really happy. And so was I.
    I don't mind giving something to those that deserve it but not those that think you're desperate and will take anything. I've already spent the money so it doesn't really bother me if I don't get it back.

    You never get the value of accessories back. Vehicles are poor investments. If you want an investment put the money in your super fund and earn an average 9% annually for a decade.
    Vehicles are transport and indulgences, not investments. They lose half their value in 3-4 years - that's a terrible investment.
    Just use it, accessorize it to suit your needs and enjoy it, and then move on, I say.

    Yeah I don't quite understand the logic here. The original comment was around rather destroy a part than sell it for cheap on principle. That's just wasteful.

    It may well be wasteful but I'd rather not give it away to someone who could easily afford a "reasonable" price for it. By reasonable I don't mean a bit under the new price but some thing you reach after a chat about it etc.
    Maybe I should have said "I'd rather destroy it" than say I would definitely destroy it. Anyway, as the hat say DILLIGAFF".

    who is the bigger mug? the one who takes $50 for an item he thinks is worth $200 or the guy who is stubborn and gets nothing and probably has to drive to the tip to throw them away?

    I got a 100 for the fridge, the young couple got a fridge for half the price they were willing to pay. They were happy and so was I. The idiot who thought I was desperate got nothing.
