O/T What the hell is up with Broke MF'rs

hey i got a BETTER one for ya, how about you buy something off someone.....they ship it........you open it, and there is a sticker for less than HALF of what you paid the person for it...........at least take the sticker off so i dont feel like my ass hurts...haha.

i mean, i was happy with the price, believe me. until you open and see a peice of masking tape on it with 25$ written in sharpee! haha.

im going to do that just to tick people off i think.

 

Too funny! I go on gut feeling. I will give lots of stuff away and won't sell some stuff to certain people at any price. When I go to swapmeets I have left a pile there before. It's usually shit I'm done with. I gave a kid a nice bell housing this week because he was broke. I didn't need it. TP

 

one of the FUNNIEST storys ive heard was told to me by a friend who was selling an item in the HAMB classifieds recently,,,...


...a HAMBer pm'ed my buddy asking him to sell it for half the asking price because it was his friends birthday and he wanted to SUPRISE him!

HHAHAHHAHAAHAA

 

Have Him E-mail A Copy Of His Tax Return And See If He Is Broke...
Maybe You Will Be Overcome By His Humble Income And Just Ship It For Free...

do sperm bank still pay good money for donations? easy money

 

I've just had this conversation with a few people. Seems like everyone's broke these days. I've been trying to sell some stuff and can't get anyone interested that has the money to pay. Last year I couldn't put shit for sale fast enough to satisfy the demand. I might need a new line of work.

 

Money is real tight for some people, and $30 can be a lot for some. I have no problem with someone asking me to hold something, hell I've had it asked and held it and they never got back with me or returned PM's, i say give the kid a break.....

 

Dude, you're thinking of "alt.com".

 

I don't see what the big fuckin deal is obviously your not broke since you can look down on kid that has less money than you. Give a kid a break. It's not like he asked you to ship it before payment. I can see not holding a several hundred dollar item for someone but it's a $30 dollar part that would obviously help him out more than you need the money. Fuckin A, it doesn't hurt to ask. Well unless someone puts a post about broke mother fuckers and makes you feel like an ass for asking a simple question. Atleast you didn't drop his name.

 

it aint no big deal == if your making a living off the stuff get shitty about it == better to have money than junk stuff laying around== old saying holds true here Dont remember now something like petting the small stuff n sweating something==sooner or later everybody has a money problem when doing a project=just be glad you have a venue to get rid of the stuff with like type prople

when I was going to college, working at the junkyard, it was rare that I would have $30 to my name that wasn't needed for food and gas. Fortunately those days are long gone

 

For me, it depends on the person. The people that know me, know I would front it to the kid. Shit, most people that know me have more of my parts on credit than I have in my garage. Pay me if you sell it. And if it's a straight cash deal and you don't have it now, take it, if you run and call me a sucker behind my back, I'll find you.

I had one thing years ago where I flat out refused to sell a guy a car because he couldn't afford it. It was a one owner ('cept me for 500 miles) 65 Catalina convertable. Nice car, but it needed a frame, it was rusty and repaired once. The sheetmetal was good with decent paint, but the car wasn't safe. The guy begged me to come down $800 so he could get it. He told me a sad story about scrounging up the cash. I felt he would drive the car into the ground. He was NOT a car guy. He just wanted a cool cruiser. He had some cash from a settlement of some kind if I remember right. It was none of my business, but I held back.

Today, I would patch the frame for the guy and sell it to him cheap. Back then I had no welder, otherwise I would have kept it longer myself. I'm sure that guy would have enjoyed that car more than the jerk I ended up selling it to.

I haven't thought about that in a long time. My attitude is completely different from when I was 19. I think I need a hug... -Which way to the champagne room?

 

I have to say, If you haven’t got the money don’t try to buy shit. Building a car can be expensive, my A model is in the garage and hasn’t been touched in two years, why?? I’m on a Veterans Affairs pension, the fuckers keep cutting the amount I get. Right now I am being kicked out of my home, cant pay rent on $60 per fortnight. I’m an invalid and cant work at just 34 years old.
I’m not looking for sympathy just highlighting that not everyone has the ability to cough up $30 bucks that easily.
Still, unless he has the money he should not be asking for something.
That’s my rant.
