MARch though

Messaged someone about a trailer yesterday, Tuesday. Got told they had "someone coming to take a look this weekend" so they didn't want to have me take a look too. Guess 1 viewing a week is the optimal number for this person.

To be fair, in this market when things sell themselves, why put any more effort in than you need to

That particular trailer has been listed for a few weeks, but I guess there's no hurry at this time of year.

Over the last couple of months, I've reached out to at least 7 or 8 people about fenders for the meercedes and Ford FE engines and I either get no response, or I get a response, then dead silence and the ads are all still up.

I'm dealing with one guy on an engine, was rally good with responding, i told him his time doesn't work for me and to hold it til I get back, offered a small deposit, no answer in 3 days.

Ford FE engines

What FE are you looking for? Built engine or parts?

There was a set of running boards I wanted on FB. Messaged the guy and asked if they would be around on the weekend and they said message Friday. Messaged Friday and then tells me they are in Olds but he can go up and grab them and will let me know.

3 days go by no word so I message again and now says too busy.

I have been finding people want to sell shit but then become too lazy and wonder why it doesn't sell.

@BerserkerCatSplat I'm looking for something good enough to rebuild. The most recent one I'm talking about is a 360.

It's fucking ridiculous. If I'm messaging you, it's because I have money and am interested in buying it. Man its annoying.

I found a civic parts car in Edmonton. I gave him a shopping list of items that I was looking for. He confirmed he had some of it. Great, what do you want for it?
Rather than give me a price, he tells me he won't be in Calgary til the end of the month. Did I fucking ask you when you were in Calgary? Give me a price and then I can arrange pickup. I know people in Edmonton, hell I can drive up myself.

Anyways, he ghosted me, and I'm still missing interior parts.

People don't realize how much time it is to part a car out.
They just see the dollars of parts and no motivation to remove them.

I bought a clapped out Diesel Rabbit maybe 20 years ago and was going to replace the engine and sell it. The fuckin knob that sold it to me came back later to remove the 3 new glow plugs he had previously installed in hopes it wasn't fucked.
"3 times 27 dollars is 90 dollars," etc etc.
I told him I'd let him during the deal but never in a million years did I think he'd actually get a ride 30 min away to come collect them. Fucking ass-hat probably still has them! As if he could sell them...

In other news...
One day I hope to meet a reasonable person from Iran.

Someone I know bought a used car recently. Guy took everything that wasn't bolted to the car and buyer didn't think to check for them.
No spare tire, no emergency jack.
Probably swapped out the speakers for Walmart brand too.

I picked up a 2021 F350 from a Ford dealer two weeks ago and they refused to leave the floor mats in it, literally the cheapest cunts.

A few years ago I bought a used RDX and the seller instructed his wife to take out the all weather floor mats (which I didn't care about because they were from a BMW and didn't fit right), and remove the Silverhill Acura license plate cover.

I told her the bill of sale says "as-is" and refused to let her take the license plate cover, mostly out of spite.

Bonus points if you could find a way to break and discard it in front of her.

A guy bought an old Nissan winter beater truck I was selling in the spring. Had a heated seat cushion in it from my ex (it plugged into the cigarette lighter).

He asked to have the truck dropped off to his house which I was fine with. I mentioned that I just had to take out the seat cushion and I'd drop it off. He said the heated seat cushion was part of the car and he wanted it. So while driving down there, I pulled the fuse in the cigarette lighter plugin cord and super glued it back closed.

All for spite, and why it still amuses me I don't know.
