He has been looking for that driveshaft for about 6 months now. you would think he would give up, or just have one lengthened. its not like its made of unobtanium.

I am sure he would have found it by now if he wasn't so retarded, and the people replying to him weren't so retarded.

"yeah I have a driveshaft" opcorn:

Trying to get rid of some crap around the house, posted up some tires and this is the response I get:

" how far from wespt ma are u"

So apparently sellers have to calculate distance now? From made up town names that don't exist? !

I always include location and every time I get someone who asks "how far u from me?"

Depending on my mood I will either ignore them because I don't want to deal with stupidity, tell them to google it, or google it myself and tell them because it takes a whole 6 seconds.

It might be in this thread but when I was looking for an nv4500 transmission for my truck I posted a want ad.

I got a reply, "I got one"

Me- "what year? What is it out of? Where are you located?"

Reply- "its an nv4500"

Somehow I managed to get his phone number so I began asking him questions through text (he wouldn't pick up) and he totally ignored them. So I said screw this guy and found a trans from someone else a couple weeks later.

Then about a week after that I get a text "hey man you still want this transmission? I really need to get rid of it"



Yea.

The sad thing is that dumbasses actually buy shit like that.

I'm kinda annoyed because I paid to get rid of tires not even that bad a while ago... I could have sold them to a retard! :doh:

I've got a V8 bellhousing and will have a V8 input shaft I will gladly trade for a Cummins bellhousing, then you can put it back together as a V8 one and sell it to some doofus for $900-1300 :eyes:

I don't think this one has a bell, and I've already got some v8 parts too. I still don't know if I wanna buy it, I've already got a collection I haven't even torn into yet. I need to make/buy a 5th gear wench.

Had a fun transaction today.

Found an engine on the trading post. The post said "make an offer" I asked a few questions, all queations were answered in clear english and answered promptly. I made an offer of $400. My offer was accepted and I arranged to pick it up today.

I get there and someone who I didn't speak with yet was there and says things like. "You're an asshole you know" "my shithead friend sold MY engine for cheap money" "you know you are an asshole for lowballing me" "I know you know you are an asshole" "you might as well have stolen it from me" "jasper was gonna give me $1000 for it as a core" "the alternator is worth $300 alone"

I didn't say much, just strapped it down and drove away without saying another word lol.

I went to pick up a roached NV4500 for Ross a few weeks ago, he told me $200 iirc.

I show up and the guy says $250. When I was surprised and offered to double check what I was told he tripped over himself saying $200 was fine.

Turns out he was just trying to scam himself an extra $50. Too bad I caught him in it.
