/rant about classifieds

It's just how classifieds are in general. People think their truck with a 12-inch lift, 24-inch rims with race tires, rainbow LED ground lights, 20 light bars, winch, custom vinyl decals, and tons of other personalized stuff is worth $90k. It's just fun to have a quick laugh and move on.

Ya mean the light bar doesn't add $10-15 k ?

I mean, you'd think so, right?! Exaggeration aside, it really is funny to see the dealer add-ons to trucks like that—they actually do think a lift and new wheels & tires adds $15-20k to the sticker price.

One other observation the 0/0/0 people that joined like a week ago trying to step in on a deal ! The funny thing is the OP has not been on since June and the vulture most likely doesn't know how to check lol .

Can you say, sense of entitlement?

Yet for some reason many people fall for that…

Here is an example, I bought a brand new from the dealer 2003 anniversary edition Harley Davidson V rod. The starting price was 15,999 and I ended up putting about $32,000 into it. Not long after that I had my child and my focus went on him and I pretty much forgot about the motorcycle. It's sat in my garage with about 23 miles over the break in mileage, so about 1023 miles. The motorcycle was and is still in pristine condition, kept in the garage with a cover on it and a battery tender. I put an ad out to try to sell it and because of the aforementioned "blue book mind set" The most anyone was willing to give me for it was at best 7500 bucks. Is it really only worth that or is that everyone has been so accustomed to blindly believing a little book that a bunch of no faced no named individuals in their ivory tower decided in there infinite wisdom to place on the item/items?

No sir it is like at a gun show you strike up a deal and some vulture comes up and wants to have a three way . When I see someone working on a deal/trade one would wait to see if deal fails at that point you can make your move . It is not a sense of entitlement just a sign of respect something people have just lost or never had .

I always liked the V rod but these damn GP bikes keep finding me ! It is like you buy a old school VW bug and all of the sudden you have 3 in your yard !

Did u say drift? Passive 4 wheel steering helps with that

Also it helps if u can reduce the weight in the back.

If the firearms posts burn your butt, stay The F out the ammunition section, bunch of shatty gougers there. Even the vendors are gouging the crap out of ammo, I can still find it at BiMart cheaper and bulk is out there at a good price but goes quick.

Why wouldn't people apply the commie labor value theory to a gun covered in red anodized, skeletonized parts from a commie country?
