Need a tunnel ram picked up in Phoenix or Elsinore

« **on:** March 26, 2008, 07:46:08 PM »

I found a tunnel ram in Phoenix that I want to buy. The guy selling to claims all the shipping costs to be in the $90 range

. He is in Phoenix but said he gets to Elsinore and Fontana often. Is anyone around those areas that could grab it for me??

Might be in Elsinore next weekend for a little pre summer test run. Where do you live Blue?

Im in Central Cal. I figured I could network it up to me from person to person or find someone with a better shipping deal. On Ebay T/R's are only $25-$40 to my door so I dont know why he is getting quotes so high

to make up for money lost on the deal

Exactly. Same thing happened to hdriderth, guy wanted $75 to ship it.

At least he is offering a pickup at no charge

I just won a TR on ebay. The guy sends the invoice and shipping was $76. I said aint no way I'm paying that. The guy got his panties all in a wad over it. I told him to check with Fedex, he was haveing no part of it. I shipped my blower to Brock last year for a little over twenty bux (68 lbs). I set it on the counter at Fedex one evening at 6:00 and they were at Brocks door the next AM at 10:00.

« **Reply #9 on:** March 26, 2008, 08:58:02 PM »

Sweet. I will get ahold of the guy and see when it can be picked up.

He could just be a dumb ass and trying to use a private postal company who is gouging him.

I had the same issue with a guy who knew his ebay'ed unpolished tunnel ram was worth $400, in spite of my summit racing showing him a new for $310. We had a $175 agreed price, so he tries to nail me with $110 shipping.

Well, I have a fex ex account that is on line. I make a shipper to myself from him (charged to my own account of course), I email him a pdf of the label. Literally all he had to do was print it, stick it on top of the box, and drop it at any fedex / kinkos in the world. He still had issues with that complicated proceedure ('cause he wasn't getting any more money!) but finally relented a week later and shipped it out. I think for me it was $28 total from Oregon (I get a great discount).

I go to elsinore too, so I could potentially pick it up. I also have to go up to gardenia so that could get it a little closer.

He wants to know if p/u tomorrow is possible (Thursday). Im gonna tell him the weekend would be better. If anybody can do this that would be awesome and I will get you "taken care of" when I head down there to boat.

If I wasn't recovering from surgery a few days ago I'd say yes, but I have an appt with the dr tomorrow.

I assume he is already there?

« **Reply #14 on:** March 26, 2008, 10:27:50 PM »

Now the guy wants cash on pickup. I told him that would be a little hard to do obviously. I offered to send a Money Order tomorrow. I will let ya know what he says.

« **Reply #15 on:** March 26, 2008, 10:42:34 PM »

You can't blame him, if I had something I sold, I wouldn't want to give it up till I was paid either.

« **Reply #16 on:** March 26, 2008, 10:51:16 PM »

I offered Paypal $$$ instantly but he says he does not use Paypal. I can't win with this guy

« **Reply #17 on:** March 26, 2008, 11:40:49 PM »

Sure a local craigslist doesn't have one for ya??? Unless of course you are getting a smokin' deal - usually they are a PIA - which is why you can get 'em....

« **Reply #18 on:** March 27, 2008, 09:05:40 AM »

This is a brand new Edelbrock for $225 and it is the exact one I want.

I can get it picked up from either Elsinore or Fontana... then figure out a cheaper way to get it North if need be.

Or maybe get my cousin to pick it up (he's in Phoenix) and get you a better shipping rate?
