You have been given the benefit of the doubt here, by me and others, regardless of the fact that you seem to have taken one instance to make your case, and the evidence for that instance seems in doubt, from DR's posts. Please answer his questions- it's time to stand and deliver!

THAT is why I took issue. If it is a mistake, you should have your guys fix your web site. If 928 Specialists is intentionally charging $123 for the OEM and Genuine, then I guess I still have an issue with that.

As you seem to have failed to notice (despite several people pointing it out) Rob E's post back in post 27 of this thread - link here, lets make it clearer.

Did you try clicking on the links in the search result you so cunningly labelled with your own pricing?

Try clicking on the Porsche part and see what the screen shows you.

I did.. it shows the grab below. It would appear the mistake is yours? Perhaps you should apologise?

Also note that Rob made his screenshot and post before Dave R was in this thread - so its not like they're trying to cover-up anything (before you don a tinfoil hat and cry foul).

Dave, have you tried using your site with IE11? (I tried the site in IE before my post above, in case the site was broken with it, but fine with my browsers)

the "Internet Explorer" entry point on default1 is broken with it - microsoft had to join the other (standards-supporting) browsers

Scroll down looking for window relay, or window winder, for the 1981-1984 car. When you click on either the OEM or the Genuine Porsche, both prices that come up are $123, no red marks or check marks.

Too bad I don't understand the context of what you are doing. But that would take a little bit of 3 dimensional thinking and a deeper connection with the 928 community which I haven't apparently achieved in 9 years.

In layman terms, there is being right and being dead (stupid)- right.

Everyone here probably knows what the whisky of Tennessee is. Of course it is Jack Daniels.

But only those who are Tennessee Vol fans know what the wine of Tennessee is.

Oh thats whine and not wine,

Landseer, I'll respond to Dave tomorrow w a pm when i get off this iPhone. If he wants to share it w you its up to him.

I still need to know how you got your screen cap of the search page showing those prices.

Thanks in advacne,

Good morning Dave,

I understand your concern is mostly about the red text and the web site at this point, understandably, while my issue (and the entire rest of the thread) was obviously about the pricing.

Firstly, (and yet again, there is always a chance we may not be email-communicating on the same wavelength here) the notation above that is underlined, is correct in the fact that your web site did not (previously, but does now) show both together, both with the higher price. Previously; only upon clicking on OEM did you see the OEM listed at $123 individually; and previously, only clicking on Genuine, did you see the Genuine listed at $123 individually, but never together in the format illustrated by Rob's posting #27 which was for the 1979 model year, showing both OEM and Genuine listed together at the higher price sorta thing. Thus the reason for this thread.

(If you were searching for a link on your web site showing both OEM and Genuine together with the same price, I don't think you will find it because they were only listed individually at the same price: If we are still not together on this, I have screen shot examples I can share with you if it would be helpful, and I suggest we either do this offline or perhaps by phone at this point.)

Now for the red text. After the considerable bantering back and forth with people reading selected quips and hurling insults, I received a note from another reader with the image saying "is THIS what you are trying to say", so I copied it and used it as an illustration. As I noted in my last posting to you, I have not seen any red text of this nature on your web site.

As of yesterday afternoon and this morning I see the issue has been fixed when I go to the same links for the 1983 car.

I have deleted the image w the red text. It served a purpose and it is not my intent to kick dirt on your company or retain a lingering bit of bad info, I hope you understand the right of a consumer to voice an opinion about cost. I will post an UPDATE clarification on the initial posting so everyone who starts at the beginning will understand what happened, as there is no need for them to go all the way through unless they are needing that kind of entertainment, lol.

In retrospect, I would have called about this, but quite honestly the consumer is not normally comfortable calling a business and asking "why is your price so high". When the one individual indicated she thought it might be a typo, then we began to try to focus on that, and apparently it was.

Best to you, have a good day,

P







And now with one little issue to tidy up......................................in good tone of course, using this post as an example.

I learned a lesson here about communication, and I hope some of the people who hurled insults and accusations like this one learned something too.

For you people who enter into objective discussions with the childish tendency to want to hurl an insult and then run for cover, basically all I can say is
"Forgive them, for they know not what they do."

Anytime someone dips into the gutter, they lose the argument, and some of the links and video spots here have done so, (and by the way I didn't even bother to look) .

On issues like this, there is a tendency for people to read part of the text, make assumptions, and pile on with their own commentary.
If you are going to engage and feel compelled to tell everyone what you think, please READ CAREFULLY what you are about to jump into first.
There may not be any water at the bottom of that pool.
Hilton, nice work, you posted the corrected link this morning, lol, and not the one we've been discussing.

Rob (who was very well intentioned, and I thank you Rob, for your help and good tone) posted a screen shot, as noted in the nasty-gram above. The only problem was, it was for the wrong model year. That particular example was properly listed on the Specialists site, but the model year this entire thread was about, 1983, was the issue we were talking about it IT was never was properly listed until it was just fixed.

Here is that link, thanks Rob, nice effort but wrong model year.



Sorry to use this particular example, there are many that could have been used. Thus is the nature of internet forum communication.

Hi Dave,

You know, I just checked some of the other window relays and a similar issue exists elsewhere.

Here is one example I found, and although not exactly like the one I initially commented on, it is very similar.

Note in the fine blue text at the bottom of the example here, it lists the OEM and Genuine Porsche both on different lines. When you click on one you get a price, when you click on the other you get the same price, but only one at t time and not OEM + Genuine Porsche on the same page. Both prices come up as "Genuine Porsche" in this example.

In this case the OEM part number has OEM at the back.



While this is not identical to the issue I encountered, it does show exactly how only one item appeared as I had claimed before for the 1983 part numbers and the price was $123 for both.

Best,

P

All this thread ever needed was a private message to DR:

"Dave - I notice that your site has inconsistent pricing for the following item: 928.615.126.00 depending on exactly where it is listed - e.g. depending on the model year you have selected.

Here are some example links.... "

Instead we are 6 pages deep into a train wreck on a circular track, no sooner are we back on the rails - but we crash again (and again!).

While I do not consider myself a religious person this post ..." I learned a lesson here about communication, and I hope some of the people who hurled insults and accusations like this one learned something too.
For you people who enter into objective discussions with the childish tendency to want to hurl an insult and then run for cover, basically all I can say is
"Forgive them, for they know not what they do." ....

.. That is either rather offensive or indicative of a much larger personality disorder...
and how you would describe your posts on this thread as an OBJECTIVE DISCUSSION is quite hard to fathom.
And not I do not like you. Nor wish to like you. Or care that you like me or not. What I have done is point out that YOU TOO make mistakes, make misstatements, perpetuate myth as fact, and have the audacity to use a quote attributed to JESUS .
Seems pretty clear to me why you originated and maintain a Boating ? Forum of your own .....
You should also be aware that the ONLY reason I bothered to post to your various threads was to see how you would react to critical comments and react you did. So Yes the people on this forum have learned "learned something "
