Nearly 5 years to the day since I joined this forum as a trader (before I even became an owner, no less), it's time for me to hand in my pass and become a regular Subscribed member instead.

 

Over the years, interest in my trade on here has declined to the point where it sadly doesn't make financial sense for me to trade here. I think that as more and more owners start to see these cars as investments rather than toys, and lean more towards standard styling as a result of that, enquiries have pretty much tailed off into nothingness. It's sad, but it's the nature of the beast. I'm not closing the business or anything like that - simply saving some money on "advertising," that's all.

 

I am aware of the outstanding Group Buy and, having already discussed this with Groover, this decision won't affect that in the slightest. At absolute worst, it just means that participants will have to upload their own photos, rather than me starting a thread for each job! :lol:

 

I've done some jobs that I'm truly proud of for Z32 owners over the years and also had the honour and pleasure of providing work for some stunning examples. I'd like to extend a heartfelt "Thank you!" to all my customers; each and every one of you is valued. Thanks also to the Committee for letting me peddle my services for the last nearly 5 years. :thumbup1:

 

So that's me, over and out. I'll see you all back in General Population shortly!

And at some point ill pop up for my GB work bud

Hi Mondo, well done on your continued success, and your acumen in knowing how to best serve your business requirements, good luck feller.

Thats a pity Si I hoped you would of considered one of the lower tiers of trading. Good luck with your other work and hope that in the future it would be possible for you to come back as a trader again. :clover::thumbup1:

I'd have liked to, Gaz. It just doesn't make financial sense unfortunately, even at the lowest tier. :(

Sad news, but only you know whats best for your company,

 

Still looking forward to seeing the results from the group buy projects.

Has the trader fee changed over the years as numbers have dropped? Might be something to consider.

It was good having you on board as a trader Si, but I fully understand and respect your decision.

 

I am pleased to hear you have resubbed as a "normal" member; and thank you for your support mate - past, present and future...:cool:

 

As promised, your group buy will remain unaffected; as it was conceived whilst you were a fully fledged trader - and if you do have a change of heart in future, you know the door is open.

Sorry to see this Si but it’s not like you’re gone forever, I’m looking forward to seeing all my bits and pieces come together:thumbup:

I’ll still be recommending you to all, you’re an excellent trader with excellent offers, not to mention skills:thumbup:

Talk soon pal :yes:

good luck and just enjoy..

As others have said at least you haven't gone completely!

--- EDIT ---

 

Sorry Chris, As the thread is titled Mondo unfortunately is no longer a trader and cannot trade on the open forums.

You were indeed the first Zed I ever did, Marty. Feels like a lifetime ago now!

good luck for your future business, shame you had to stop as a trader but it has to be viable to continue spending money on advertising, i am sure you will be a success.

looking forward to getting my interior done in the GB
