he wants to trade his truck for a sports bike plus make them pay 6 or 7000 extra dollars for a truck with a salvage title. just because he sank money into it he thinks its worth that much. when in reality its not worth near that, you cant put the aftermarket stuff in the selling price and with the salvage title its worth even less. i dont know it just made me laugh.

10-30-2008, 04:16 PM

What is that guy smoking?

rexmitchell · 10-30-2008, 06:14 PM

You should respond with something like, I have a haybusa 1800CC bored out to a 2100cc rocket! Man its a smoking bike, Ill give it to you plus the 6k your asking for, no questions asked..just to see what he says

barkerdrmmr182 · 10-30-2008, 06:29 PM

barkerdrmmr182 · 10-30-2008, 06:37 PM

rexmitchell · 10-30-2008, 06:54 PM

Na tell him the flux-capacitor went bad on it...back to the future anyone....the 1900 cc busa thing a buddy told me, some fedex driver saw him working on his bike and started telling him some wild story like that...

barkerdrmmr182 · 10-30-2008, 07:04 PM

jaybyrd1979 · 10-30-2008, 10:35 PM

i had one of those funny incidents a few years ago too barker. i had an 82 chevy pickup with the turn signals in the front bumper and one of em leaked a lil bit and was about half full of water, i made my ex girl believe that it was half empty and the other was completely dry and i needed a quart of blinker fluid, she actually went to autozone and advanced and they both just told her they were out and said to go to another parts store that finally told her i was pullin her chain, o man was she MAD!!!!!!!!!!! maybe thats why she is an ex now huh? lol

Goliath616 · 10-31-2008, 01:32 AM

yup, blinker fluid, and muffler bearings, lots of fun to those who don't know

barkerdrmmr182 · 10-31-2008, 01:53 AM

yea and i dont remember the year but it was the year they didnt make the VW beetle id always go into auto zone and ask for a water pump for that year bug they would type and type on their computer and couldnt find a thing. then i started looking for a CV axle for my 85 RX7 (rear wheel drive) they would search for ever and i had to leave when i couldnt help laughing anymore. oh fun times.

Goliath616 · 10-31-2008, 02:23 AM

I am a supervisor where I work and I have dropped "go get me some blue and white stripped paint" about 4 times already, A couple people got confused but no one has fallen for it yet. Also I am going to move this to general discussion.

gkim4107 · 10-31-2008, 08:25 PM

wow, so that truck must be worth atleast what? 20,000 dollars in todays awesome gas market....... somebody should flag his ass

LittleEddie · 10-31-2008, 09:18 PM

When I was working sheet metal we'd send the fresh apprentices to the steel guys to borrow their metal stretcher. They'd usually make it through most of the crew before somebody'd tip them off. Those were the days.

And yes, the guy selling that truck must have rode the shorty bus!

sirgilbert357 · 10-31-2008, 09:55 PM

OK, now I know some people do stuff on Craigslist expecting to be talked down...but come on...I am tempted to email this dude and let him know he's not being reasonable...but I'm not gonna.

Goliath616 · 10-31-2008, 10:11 PM

I actually feel sorry for the schmuck, thinking he will get that out of the truck

rexmitchell · 10-31-2008, 10:15 PM

LOL, its going to be just plain sad if he thinks that is for real...everyone from the forum should just start emailing him crazy offers...just blow his mailbox up

11-02-2008, 04:30 PM

Kelly Blue Book puts a price just over 5000 for excellent condition Clean title , they won't even quote a salvage title as it puts it down to poor condition, maybe he is just fishing for someone dumb enough to fall for his bait.

11-02-2008, 10:40 PM

Another email

Hey man why haven't you replied. The bike is to fast for me and I really want a truck like yours. I can go as high a 8k if it'll help. Please tell me you still have it.

rexmitchell · 11-02-2008, 11:48 PM

Briang offer to throw in a jet pack as well

CHIEF333SNAKE · 11-25-2008, 08:08 PM

Goliath616 · 11-26-2008, 01:52 AM

gueedo, basically it was a squid, with a 2 month old Ninja 250, pulled a wheelie with his girlfriend on the back, ate the pavement, busted the bike all to hell, hurt the girlfriend, and wanted $5500 for the bike as is. I flagged it for the Craigs List hall of Fame LOL

Your thinking of the Squid alert thread. This was the one where the guy wanted to trade his pickup for a sport bike plus cash.

Goliath616 · 11-26-2008, 08:14 PM

oops. yeah, sorry

(subscribed to too many damn posts LOL)

gueedo70 · 11-26-2008, 09:07 PM

Yeah I was going to say that I swear I saw that post somewhere else lol.

11-26-2008, 09:38 PM

Could be those guys are related,

11-26-2008, 09:52 PM

Maybe its the same guy and he wrecked the bike that someone traded him.
