Oh

 

Do a two person bleed. I can never get those one man bleeders to work right.

 

Thank you!

 

I got so tired of trying to bleed brakes, and tried every cheap one man bleeder known to mankind. I ended up just buying the professional one from Mityvac, works great.

We're selling a backyard toddler slide on FB marketplace, well my wife is I should say. Put it up for $40 and people are literally bargaining over quarters lol. Wife told the guy $35 was ok and he comes back with 'Ill pick it up for $34.50'

jesus just buy the thing

 

My dad pressing the brakes works pretty well and is free.

Sounds like @JKO1998 has a similar issue that I had. Bled the brakes, still felt like an air pocket in there and could hear it make a popping sound under the dash. I ended up bleeding about 3 bottles of fluid through them but I eventually got it.

 

We’ve been trying, can’t get any fluid to come out the front calipers.

 

Someone tried to buy my old welder on an agreed upon price of $250, and the guy shows up with his kid and is like “I have $200, I have to feed my kid”

Then maybe don’t buy a freakin welder?

 

in this case it was the first, complete lack of sanity

 

I mean I get it, money is tight and a penny saved is a penny earned, yada yada. And in that case he might need the welder to help put food on the table with odd jobs and such.

But when you agree to a price and then show up with the intent to pay less than you said you would, that's a shitty move imo. He should've pulled that card in the negotiations beforehand

 

Video?

 

People always try to negotiate last minute. I had one guy show up for a motor. We agreed on $500, he shows up with $400 and was it's all I have. He drove 2 hours to get here. We agreed on the price so he had to go to the atm to get more cash.

 

Got me some free tires for the 02. 265/70r17 with 12/32 because they’re made a bit too much noise to certify a 4runner.


So I’ll get them mounted up on a set of 4runner wheels I’ve got and the 02 will have fresh shoes.

 

Taking it to a shop tomorrow


Over it

 

I bought a Softopper a few weeks ago. It was clearly in rough shape from the picture, but I know they're repairable so I threw out an offer and asked the seller to confirm that there were no tears--the description said "no tears" but I thought I could see one in the pictures. Seller agreed to my offer and gave me a time and place to meet without acknowledging the tear question. I didn't have time to go back-and-forth over email, so I just went to see it.

I show up and the first thing the guy says is "you were right, there's a tear--but you could probably DIY it". On top of that, there were pieces missing, rusted and broken hardware, and it was dirty as all get out. So dirty that I thought it was faded tan from the pictures when it was actually white. I didn't even realize white was an option since they don't offer it anymore.

I still bought it (after talking the price down more) because a white Softopper is cool. The seller seemed like a nice guy otherwise, so hard to say whether I was up against incompetence or maliciousness... but some people are just lousy to deal with.

I'm still waiting on replacement parts to show up before I install it, but here it is halfway through cleaning.

 

And they pull that emotional card all the time. Even 'professional' sales people.

 

@eon_blue for Sofia...or @Empty_Lord since they'd both share the same size



FUCKING MINT

 

shits the worst when u hit a dead end, sorry man

 

There is a seal that applies to just about all IFS Toyotas from 1995 to something like 2015 in various configurations.

 

I sold a tool chest via Craigslist recently. The guy shows up and asks if I'll take $25 less than the listed price because he drove "all the way from Divide". Divide is only a 30-minute drive from here. He then proceeds to tell me that he had a bunch of other things to do in town anyway. Meanwhile he's holding a wad of cash that clearly contains more than he's offering.

Sigh.
