$150 plus shipping and paypal fees, I takes way to much time to take this apart. So you are paying for my time and no for parts. $175 shipped



then i guess 175 shipped it is. what's your paypal address?



my paypal ******@yahoo.com



okay. can i see some pics first? and about how much life is left in the brake pads?


Sure will take some pics after payment, do not want to spend time for nothing. Extra $30 for pads


oh hey, what's up. still interested in selling these?



Yes, paypal ******@yahoo.com


i'd really like to see some pics before i send payment. i'll pay as soon as i know for sure that i'm getting something. i'm not in any kinda hurry to get it so you can take some pics whenever you have time. thanks.



I dont have time for this , send payment ...so I can go and take all apart and after that I will email pics. before fedex



does that sound kinda fishy to you guys? no way i'm sending payment till i see some pics. but should i expect to see any pics or am i just wasting my time?

Hmmm, i was looking into buying a cruise control setup from him -- but he actually took pics for me. confused.gif

I'd pass on it if i were you...

edit: Oh yeah, he was also wanting $55 for a non-leather 4 spoke steering wheel. laugh.gif
edit2: He was wanting $130 for the cruise setup, and i know for a fact that i can get it from a junk yard for millions less. laugh.gif

it doesnt bother me what he asks for his parts. thats his decision of what he thinks is fair and what he thinks he can get. but the attitude is why i wouldnt buy from him.

I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside.
