Here is the sad thing the seller wanted to post it up on Steel Soldiers but he could not afford the $15 fee. We lost out this one.

Is he a member here ? There seems to be no shortage of people getting around the classified rules .

Most of them would just start a thread about my 1009 has a blown head gasket and I only have 7 days to get it out of the repair shops lot. Or if was a member he could have ask another member help him list it . Do we really need the drama of " he could not afford the $15 fee so we lost this one "

The old classifieds were atotal mess and with the paid classifieds it still takes a moderator just for the classifieds , because members don't follow the rules or manage their ads.

Not trying to create any drama, nor saying I agree with his statement. That was simply an accurate quote of what he stated via e-mail to me. I just think it was a waste of a good truck. I have a friend looking for one and we also know where a replacement engine is. I do not know if he is a member here, he just volunteered that info:
"[FONT=georgia,serif]I would have much rather it gone to you guys. I regret it as well. [/FONT]You don't want to know the price, but you could prob make a pretty accurate guess.
[FONT=georgia,serif] It's good to know you guys are up there. I wanted to post it on Steel Soldiers as well, but didn't want to pay the 15$ fee(due to my short deadline)."

edit: I will also add my personal opinion since the matter was brought up. I am happy to pay the $15 to support the site we all love. Things have been tight financially in the past since I support my Mom (as well as my own family) but a much needed promotion finally arrived. This site is awesome and the mods have a thankless job for the most part Chris and his team are doing great work. The saying "we win some, lose some" comes to mind. In this one example we lost a truck, overall I like to think we come out ahead.

do you have anything of value to add to this post or just a dumb statement?

Nope not at all.

Scrap prices are dropping like a rock, maybe it won't happen next time...

Not quite as dramatic as couldn't afford to pay $15 . That said , had he spent the $15 dollars he probably would have doubled or more what he got scraping it . And he most likely would have had responses the day he posted it.

True, he would made more here, a buddy of mine would have given him up to $1000 for it. One can assume he did not want to pay the $15 due to financial reasons since he could not afford to repair the truck, and accepted such a low ball scrap price. That is just an assumption on my part, perhaps he thought if he paid the $15 it just would not get sold as fast as needed....who knows.

But he could afford the internet to email you. Hmm.......

We don't know that either, plenty of free wifi hotspots, or people with unsecure networks.

 

[hwcurtice]

Yeah, lets not diss the guy. He's already out his nice CUCV. Would you beat anyone else up while he's down?

Sheesh, he got a measly $250 for this, when most are going for about $5,000 on CL. Not to mention what non-runners are getting on GL.

Time to move on. More rigs to save from the razor blade factory out there.

Doesn't cost me a thing when I use the internet at work. Unless the boss is looking over my shoulder.
