NOR-CAL General Chat.

[Danny]

Yeah no worries. It's just collecting dust in the shed. I'm always off work at six. So any weekday after 6pm works.

[JinormusJ]

Sounds good; just shoot me a text and we can work out the little details later. You got my number

Thanks Dan

[mbonanni]

Oh wow, no haggling the price cause you have to travel?

lol

[JinormusJ]

I don't haggle price for traveling; frankly I don't mind the driving. Craigslist morons think they can get me to drop my price because they had to drive 10 miles out.
When I lived in SoCal I commuted 110 miles daily. If you can't drive 10 miles to by my product, thats a disrespectful slap in my face, and I'd rather keep what I'm selling rather than deal with people's BS

That being said, I respectfully hold myself to my own standards. $60 is already cheap as it is




And the chance to meet Danny has me peeing my pants

[mbonanni]

He isn't that great, don't get too excited.

[Danny]

Fuck you Marco.

[mbonanni]

I guess I shouldn't say anything. I still need to get that donut gasket thing

Your kidding me right?

[JinormusJ]

People of Craigslist are just as bad as People of Walmart

Luckily, I don't have anything to sell. Haha. Although, if I'm driving more than 1.5 hours each way for a smaller part (which is only when I know I'm getting it from someone reputable) I'll see if I can get a little off of the asking price. But I don't try to lowball or anything. Just something to not make me cry at my fuel gauge emptying itself. ;)

Does that make me a douche?

[JinormusJ]

I normally only complain about the price if I'm buying it from a stranger and I'm driving 100+ miles (AKA, driving to SF and buying a bumper or hood from a member with like 40 posts). If its someone reputable, I'll just give them asking or try to get like $5-10 off depending on how much the item costs and how far I have to drive (Unless they're already giving me a good deal).

Reputable guys already do so much for the community, its kinda just my way to give back to them and give them a smooth transaction without them having to worry about getting lowballed/long discussions about pricing. Plus, they usually price things pretty accordingly and prices fit within most budgets.

Last time I think I haggled was when I bought a minty black late model valence (he was asking $80, I gave him $70) from Abby (ak-) a year ago, and that was only because I had to drive 70 miles in traffic, the right side was a little tweeted, and the bottom mounts on the valence were shaved because he originally had it mounted on a turbo-car and it needed clearance for the intercooler.

Roger that. Coming from the Vacaville area down to Los Gatos/San Jose area is a stretch for me and that's the only time I've ever negotiated on a price which didn't end up far from the asking price.

It's not so much trying to haggle or lowball, especially within the community. That, I don't like. I sold Vivi an m50tu block and my windscreen for ~$120 and I drove it down to Los Gatos. The windscreen was $120 shipped from Raceland to begin with, I just needed the space and money more than anything.

If something for sale is out of my budget, I just shake my head and move on. Looking back, there are a lot of things I wish I had jumped on before prices skyrocketed. Live and learn though.

[Vivek]

If all goes according to plan; gonna be in Oakland sometime next week picking up a front bumper (finally!)

Vivi, Burnz; Thinking of paying you two a visit too


Also, there are been an influx of '13 newbies posting very newbie-esc topics: Yet, no trolling. Is r3v going soft..??

And that's a reminder for me to check on those parts you wanted. Brake ducting, right?

[JinormusJ]

Yeah, I think I just need the drivers side, but I think they might be interchangeable. Maybe an m20 fan shroud; Bernz might have me covered, but it never hurts to ask around
That being said, Danny is in Salona: thats only 40 mils from me (Vacaville area if my map is correct), so I might just push it back til the next meet like we agreed earlier
