    Undamaged Glass / rear door / roof rack / undamaged cladding / undamaged panels..

    ..are EASILY worth that alone.

    (BTW..I already asked seller if R/Rack was 4 sale ..NOPE!...all or nothing!)

    I agree with that concept, but shipping is so expensive, that it makes it very difficult to turn a buck. it cost me almost 200 just to ship the front cladding I sold a month ago. If you don't have a business account, shipping gets crazy expensive, they are still charging a fuel surcharge, even though gas is cheap....

    I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

    I can't say enough great things about Greyhound shipping. I shipped a hood insert from Ohio to California for $50. I dropped it off on Saturday afternoon in Cincinnati and it was available for pickup on Monday morning in San Diego.

    The only catch is, you have to drop off and pick up from a greyhound station. Its really easy though, its a whole separate area than the bus terminal.

    I have also used them to ship a bumper from Ohio to Florida for less than $100.

    Hmmm, I just checked it out, there are restrictions, the bumper would have just fit...and can't be over 100lbs, that eliminates tranny, maybe rear axle? Rear door is too big, but most other stuff would be fine...Sweet!!!
    Thanks for the heads up.

    I've posted about this before, but I second that JAMAS!!! Greyhound's shipping prices are unbeatable! I shipped my backseat to Osteomata Phoenix to Miami, weighed 65 lbs, cost $73. I bought a "large wardrobe box" from U-Haul for $12, plus some nylon reinforced tape and she was good to go! Os said it arrived in fine condition, took maybe 4-5 days. Both UPS & FedEx Ground were around $235+. Savings was well worth the hassle of drop off/pick up at a Greyhound terminal.

    So did anyone here pick up that Crashed Ironman...???

    Seems like a few bidders pumped up the price.

    I am still POed about that auction. Bid retraction should not be allowed. It enables someone to figure out your high bid, and then plan accordingly. BS.
