Just wanted to let all of you know that there is a new safety accessory for classic cars called the Quick Brake Flasher. Since most classic cars don't have a third brake light, some no brake lights at all, the Quick Brake Flasher adds more awarenes to you and your vehicle. It attaches to your vehicles rear window with high quality suction cups, senses when you're braking harder than an adjustable threshold and flashes super bright LEDs to alert following drivers. Also, there are no wires to connect. It is completely self contained.

For more information please go to the:

Quick Brake Flasher for Classic Cars and Trucks

Please let me know what you think. I will check back to reply to questions and comments.

Thanks,

Top Serve

I wouldn't give up your first born that easily... So far from other posts people have thought it's a pretty good idea. Look at the posts under 1929.

Mr. topserve,

This forum has a stated policy that:

"Use the Classified section to Sell or Buy parts or cars. Thanks!"

The act of posting advertisments in different threads to get advertising "exposure" is commonly known as Vendor Spamming .

Such an act will NOT get my business but will incure an appropriate response from me.

If you are an old Chevy enthusiast passing on a tip of a good product, then you have done a wonderful job and your advice has been noted.

If you are a Vendor using this forum to promote your product then please be considerate of the forums' request to:
"Use the Classified section to Sell or Buy parts or cars. Thanks!".

I don't like salesmen who shove their foot in my door.....but my dog sure does!

The product is interesting. I wish the "vendor" Good Luck with his sales.

Thanks guys your words are not falling on deaf ears. Because it's posted on more than one page I expect others to take action but unless something happens to change my mind this subject will be history on this chat page by COB Monday.

A member of your forum who really liked the product, emailed me recomending me to list this product on your site to help get the news out. That was the only attempt. In addition, I never left the forum, I have checked back repeatedlly to answer questions and comment.

Mr. topserve,

This forum is here for more reasons than to "list this product ".

A common marketing trick used by Vendors in forums is to pretend to answer some minor question and thus get their posting repeatedly " bumped ", so that it frequently goes back-on-top of the threads.

{"repeatedlly to answer questions and comment"....}

When a Vendor lands into a forum aggressively looking to make some money , he also runs the risk of p*ssing lots of people off and thus may reflect badly on his items.

If your intent is 'exposure' then you just got it.

If you wish to constructively participate on other topics in the various catagories then please do so.

I've heard all I need to know about your item.

Threads like this should be "locked".

***This thread is now locked.***

If you are interested in why, then ready the following carefully.

1) This appears to be a legitimate product for use with vintage cars. (Follow the original referenced link.)
2) The posting appears to be by the vendor for the sole purpose of generating sales.
3) The vendor posted it in multiple forums.
4) The posting is misplaced in that it should have been in the "parts for sale" section -- once.
5) Since there are TWO positings, I'm locking this one and Moving the first one posted to the proper forum. (You can continue your dialogue there.)

Comment:
While this may fit the general definition of Spam, I'm going to leave it active in the "for sale" section since a) it is a legitimate product and b) the vendor HAS checked back to follow up on replies to his original posting. If all vendors were so inclined, then they'd make a lot more sales.

Summary of policy:
  • Post products in the "for sale" forum.
  • Monitor your posting.
  • Only post ONCE in the Discussion Board.
  • Don't artifically "bump" your posting so as to make it move to the active listing artifically.

Top-Serve, if you'd like, you can email me to discuss this further.
Thanks... and everyone hey! Drive safely out there! Make sure that your tail lights are always working!
