great craigslist fine!!!!

So i was at work, and searching the free section, i was looking for maybe 15 mins when a new ad pops up! free rims and tires, i open it up and and BOOM!, 16" alum rims from a Saab car.



i jump right on it and get him on the phone, and on my lunch break i went and picked them up. i kinda feel bad because i'll probly get like $50.00 from these rims, and he just gave them away for free. But its not like he has the tools to get the tires off anyways.

cl is really an up & down game. people say one thing and then do others. i've called alot and when im about to leave they tell me its gone!!! Whats real hard is that i work full time, and scrap part time and thats whats really hard, is that the full time scrappers can leave anytime to pick-up and they always beat me to the free stuff, even when i call 1st the owner wants the stuff gone.

well he did ask if i had a saab, and i lied and said my sister had a saab. but that was after i already was there, i felt like if i said i was going to scrap them, he wouldnt be happy? i feel like people get mad sometimes when u tell them your gonna scrap whatever there giving you?, they feel like your wasteing an item?

couldn't those be worth more to a shop that deals in saabs, or tires or something, who has to occasionally replace them ?

i was thinking about that, i looked and two of them have big dents from a crub or something, idk if they can be straightened or if they still would be road worthy. has anyone on here every sell rims to a steal-er-ship, or a tire warehouse?

If they arnt perfect I would just scrap them

well i was already there, i drove 20 min one way, i didnt want to come back empty, i didnt know what else to say?

He gave them away. It doesn't matter what he did with them. Should have just said that you were going to use them the. You wouldn't be lying be because you used them to make money.

Yeah as far as im concerned i work my ass off for the little money i make, so a lie here and there or racing through a neighborhood with three other scrappers in it is the least of my worries.

k thanks for the input ,scrapcrazy ,toula ,matt

^^^ but 99% of the time you scrap it right??
I'm just looking for advice, -bluemeate- would you of told him the truth if it meant not getting $50 ?

I would have said "not sure, what I going to do with it, but I will not give it away for FREE!"

"not sure, what I going to do with it, but I will not give it away for FREE!"

hobo!!! dude thats great!!! lol

Fine and Find are two totally diffrent words. I understand if someone misspelled something, but please. Say what you mean...
