<----Lowballer 4 life!


I blame it on being Polish. My family must have accidentally been sent to a Jewish concentration camp where they were tainted with The Cheapness.

Thanks for playing everyone!:twisted:

AbeSonic offered a six pack of Olympia for the pair of Corbeau Seats.

What can I say, those pretzels made me thirsty.

I'm starting to learn its best too put all your eggs in two baskets. It's way cheaper and you get nicer baskets.

Well said. I always like having nice baskets.

Don't get me wrong, I've lowballed a little bit too buying e30 parts. But there's a difference between getting a good deal for yourself and being an asshat. You should lowball pick n pulls/junkyards though, they are too desperate for $

[Cletonius]

Ever since they remodeled all their junkyards they won't take offers. Before I would just look at the register guy with a surprised face and ask if he could take few bucks off, and sure enough he would give me one or two parts for free. Can't do that anymore, I tried but they don't negotiate.

All the yards I've been to around here are like that too. However sometimes they can't find stuff in the computer... depends on who's working. One time I slipped the guy a $20 and got half my stuff "no charge."

How do you barter with the idiots at pick n pull? They just type random shit in and say 50$ for bumper trim...

Im dreading getting a saab cam, head, or valve cover there because i expect like 500$ price tag.

I wonder if this is how hoarding starts..

All those people who are so worried about being lowballed or not getting top value for their "junk", so they decide to sit on it. 10 years later, their house collapses and kills 12 cats.

I've bought 3 bmw's in the last month. Thank god my apartment manager said no more cars. When I was a teenager I had 4 e30's,a Camaro and a 65 c10. I tend to hoard cars.

About 5 years ago I picked up a rust free, 75k mile, 9/10 interior dodge Daytona for $50. Guy towed it from colombus Ohio to Indianapolis to meet up, I drove it home to Chicago. I drove it for 3 years and 60k, I replaced the fuel pump right after i got the car, and clutch at 110k along with the t-belt. Sold it for $650

[1craze30]

Yep. Just say no. If you aren't desperate to sell, say no!

[nny403]

$5 says you're probably the lowballer guy everyone is complaining about in this thread...

;)

You never complain about prices I offer. If you don't like it you say politely "No thanks that price doesn't work for me." I offer what I'm willing to pay the seller can always politely say no.

[5Toes]

lol... volvo lips in this county are $8 and maf sensors are $25

[Wschnitz]

exactly, western Washington is worse, AAS doesnt even know the differenece between a mtech 1 and a sport steering wheel... which could work to my advantage if they didnt want 130$ for either in poor condition. pick n pull all the shit is broken.

[camip]

Fuck junk yards in eastern Washington. One wanted $35 for a glove box latch, and another wanted $100 for a m tech I steering wheel and the leather looked like a shrunken head.
