everybody trying to make an extra dollar. back in the late 90's/early 2000's, if your mud tires were worn out and had 10% tread left... you threw them away or let the tire shop dispose of them after getting new ones. but no, not today... theres tons of worn out, and i mean worn slap out nitto mud grapplers and other big tires people are trying to sell for $100+ just to get some extra money. throw them suckers away!! theres a guy in my area that keeps re posting some borla exhaust tips for a corvette for $80... FOR EXHAUST TIPS! are you kidding me. when times are rough its either **** is dirt cheap and hard to come by, or they are trying to get every penny they can and get frustrated when it takes 2 months to sell something.

My brother in law bought a boat in florida and towed it to Houston, when I went to see it, I was WTF did you buy that for? After a year he wanted to sell if for $3k, he only paid $2K and was only work about $400.

He asked me do you think I can get $3k for this 16 foot boat? I replied, "You have to find another pendejo thats willing to pay it like you did."

Its a total POS.

I have gotten good deals on here, HPT and Craigs. The over prices crap will probobly get flagged by an angry shopper just to **** the seller off.

If you know what your looking for you laugh at it and move on shopping, sometimes sellers including myself use stuff for a short period of time and maticulously take care of it..... Ill usually take 25% off retail price and pay shipping fees.... I had a guy pm me my inbox today and said a pt-88 cost 1300$ brand new and wanted to know what else come with it for 1,550$ Shipped?!?!? Why is he even bothering pming me if he can get the BRAND new turbo that cheap>??? So i broke it down for him and everything im offering cost around 2,000$ brand new shipped to his door!
