Default Honda-tech members?

im sure theres gonna be a bunch of u who belong to both, but im gonna ask for a little help from anyone. heres the story....

I orginally found a mount kit on JDMshit.com 400 bucks and comes with mounts/linkage/throttle cable bracket (to use the stock cable). Theres a $75 core charge included in that. i got stock cores from Alwaystootall on here for free. that makes my price 325 shipped off the bat. his prices are posted on his website as well.

then i go on honda-tech, and i see he has a special on them, but cant post prices cuz there so low!!!! ok, i send him a pm, and he tells me 325 with a $50 core charge... so im thinking 275. i tell him my cores are on the way already (because i was previously going to pay the 325). i say ok, should i paypal the 275? he replies to me and says no, its 325, but would be 375 with no cores...

how then, is that a super low price? its the same thing no matter what, u just have to pay 25 bucks extra if your not from HT (but u get it back either way!). i think he justs wants my 325, because i was going to pay that anyway... and if so, thats ------ gay.

Now where the help comes in. if some 1 could PM Newman on honda-tech, and ask him for a price for the mounts/linkage/bracket. see what he says, and ask him for a TOTAL price, after cores. I know its going out of your way, but it would be very appreciated.

i figure.... $50 saved = 450's, or flywheel resurfaced etc, ya know? plus its the principal of if im gettin screwed. you can PM me back, or post up.

Obviously you dont know how a "Core" charge works. 275 is incorrect. When you call up pep boys and ask for an axle 60 dollars for an axle and 40 dollar core charge, so that doesnt mean the axle is 20 bucks. lol,

exactly if you buy something for 40 bucks and theirs a core charge. if u dont have a core then the core charge gets added to the 40 bucks. its simple guys. jdmshit.com is HCP. they are good guys. i use their mounts all the time. for h swaps and b series. never had a problem with them breaking.

"obviously" i do know how a core charge works... on his site he says the prices are 400, with a refund of 75 bucks when u send the cores in.... why would he say there 325, with a core charge refund of 50 bucks? if u take it from context as it is in the site, it would be 275. thanks tho

i just think he knows i was going to pay the 325, so he wants to get it from me anyway, which is kinda of shitty. but then again, i could be wrong? hence the reason im asking for the help.

i heard that they were pretty good mounts, and for the price, i said why not. then i see his "deal" for HT people and figured id get them for cheaper.

if the base price is $325 no matter what, than hes only giving a $25 discount to those HT members who dont send the cores in, which is dumb. because any1 swapping to b series will have there stock linkage.....

thanks to every one whos helping me out tho!
