There is a motor on ebay I would really like to bid on for my fiat x1/9 challenge project, but the seller says local pickup only.
If you would be willing to pick up the motor and help me ship it to myself I would be eternally grateful. They are like 130 lbs - liftable into the trunk of a car or bed of a truck, but heavy.
I can also repay you for your time in muchos car parts and beer.
Is the seller (and you) willing to wait until next year? If so, I am about 100 miles away but have no problem picking it up and getting it to you.
I am tied up next weekend and then flying to California until 1/2, after that I am game.
In reply to Slippery:
I'll bet the seller is willing to wait if I pay now, and I am not in a rush. I'll ask. THANK YOU!
Go for it and let me know. If he says no I'll see if I can get someone out there sooner.
I'm further away but could get free the week before Christmas if needed.
In reply to Stampie:
Thank you so much for your offer Stampie.
I contacted the seller who is fine with holding it until Jan.
BUT IN BETTER NEWS - I WON THE AUCTION FOR A 2001 GSXR 1000 MOTOR (140-150 hp, 130 lbs) for $20!!!! Description says used but good condition, no idea how true that is but for $20 im willing to take a chance. Link to auction since I am still a little shocked
Slippery, I'll be in contact with you via PM once I hear back from the seller on their coordination preferences. And we have plenty of time to figure it out.
Thats insane!!
Get me an address as soon as you have one. I am leaving next Thursday so depending on where exactly it is I might swing by next week.
If you decide you don't want it I'll give you 50% profit and buy it from you for $30.
The biscuit is in the basket.
Thanks again, we will make sure it comes back for more.
