20 shipped for the pistons and rods.

Cause thats how much I just payed for another set, and ill take these off you for that much as well.

Brian-bbc 01-28-2009 11:35 AM

its going to cost atleast 15 dollars for me to ship them to you. so you want me to sell perfect rods and pistons for 5 dollars. i am sorry but please. just because a random guy sold them to you for that doesnt mean i am. 75 shipped i can do. i run a business pay advertising fee's on this board have over head to deal with.

gospeed81 01-28-2009 12:23 PM

I'll give you $30. 1.8L right?

Brian-bbc 01-28-2009 12:28 PM

the lowest i will take is 75 SHIPPED! thats practically giving them away. how about i will give you 70 for your megasquirt

gospeed81 01-28-2009 12:46 PM

Hmm...fear leads to anger...watch the exclamation points bud, nothing wrong with making an offer.

Seriously, these things sell much cheaper everywhere, not trying to rip you off, just letting you know.

Also, you didn't answer my question. I find it laughable that you didn't list the displacement of the motor the pistons came out of.

Again, I seriously hope your parts swapping business goes well. The Miata enthusiast community needs as many guys like you as possible. You still suck at it though. Some of it's odd practice, some of it is just attitude.

Brian-bbc 01-28-2009 12:53 PM

75 shipped for them. after taking out pay pal fee's shipping fee's and box fees i sell them for about 50 dollars. that is not unreasonable. i post pictures of the pieces. and yes 1.8 l rods and pistons. if thats not what your after i also have 1.6.

gospeed81 01-28-2009 12:56 PM

Depends on my plans, but wouldn't be interested in 1.6L. Am looking at a 1.8L with some bent ass rods.

$50 is a fair price, sorry to hear your profit margin shrinking.

How many miles were on the motor?

3% is paypal fees, on 100 bucks thats 3 bucks. Box is free from USPS. Shipping is flat rate 10 bucks.

Soooooo.

Anyone who destroys their pistons and rods is going to be using heavy duty stuff the second time around, stock rods and pistons arent worth what you want for em.

Wow, great analogy.

Brian-bbc 01-28-2009 01:07 PM

honestly i dont know the mileage. if i was to guess it would be somewhere around 100k. i wouldnt sell junk though so i do know they are good.

Its going to cost you 10 flat to ship em. Paypal fees are 30 cents. Ill pay you 2 bucks for the gas you spend driving to the post office. Thats 12.30. Ill give you another 12 on top of that. Round it off to $25.

Anyone who destroys their pistons and rods is going to be using heavy duty shit in the new one, stock rods and pistons arent squat.

sorry not the way i do business.

Thats also the reason why youre gonna be holding onto the pistons and your oil pan for a LOOOOOOOONG time to come.

Edit: First rule of business is not profit, its turnover. At least when it comes to successful businesses. Profit always comes later.

Yeah, if those were 01+ pistons with a low known mileage, and looked better, you could fetch that price. But those are very common and not exactly in high demand. No specs on them so the buyer doesn't know how much they're worn. And no close up pics to see if their's any visable scoring. I'd say at least post some better pictures and put OBO. Like others said, they don't sell for that price.

zoomin 01-28-2009 04:06 PM

I just gave away a set last month for $20 shipped. They aren't worth much more.

jayc72 01-28-2009 06:09 PM

You guys made an offer, he refused. Shut the fuck up and stop crapping in this guys thread. If his price blows goats, he won't sell the item. If absolutely must comment, send him a PM.

JayL 01-28-2009 06:23 PM

Would it be possible to peddle all this junk in your vendor sub-forum instead of the general classifieds?

therieldeal 01-29-2009 02:56 PM

hey those look just like the rods and pistons i sold to Saml01

:P

albumleaf 01-29-2009 04:16 PM

I'll give you $30 if you throw in a picture of yourself
