Stiffing someone stems from a lack of personal pride.
It's obvious pride is becoming a thing of the past. Just look at how some people dress in public. I wouldn't be caught dead in my pajama pants even going out to the mailbox in my own yard.
Eddie Kendricks, Maynard Ferguson, Chuck Mangione, Al Greene, The Commodores, Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers, (early) Stevie Wonder, Parliament, Kool & the Gang, Curtis Mayfield, Aretha Franklin, Dr John, and the list goes on and on.
It takes me 15 minutes just to decide what I'm making for lunch. Well not really, but I'm not too productive.
BTW, Krusty is here. I'll drop it off early afternoon, unless you want it before.
Actually, if you want to meet up for lunch, I have my wallet today :-P
Greg, I posted before seeing your response. As I stated above, that thread really did cause me to change my point of view. So at least one person cares. The thing that changed my view was when Adam posted that $10k 75 Dart. I'd seen that car two years ago at a show, and saw how my newb friend...
That last flipper thread actually caused me to change my tune on the subject, so it wasn't all for nothing. I didn't have the opportunity to update my view as it was closed before I could post (for good reason). Internet forums are a mixed bag. On one hand, there is the interchange if ideas and...
Agreed. Besides the lower overall value, and higher production numbers, these cars were used differently (usually).
That shot of my car in the sig is deceptive. All the horizontal surfaces have the paint burnt to a crisp, and a lot is surface rusted. BUT, it is original paint, albeit not for...
The above is true, but it depends on the car. The added value that my 318 Duster has from it's numbers matching original drivetrain over a similarly running, same displacement non matching is $0.00.
This may be a matter of perception. When I was in high school (coming of age time for car appreciation for most of us), the cars everyone was interested in was late '60s - early '70s. I graduated in '93, so that is a 20 to 25 year spread. Think about what is 20 to 25 years old right now. With...
Well since my Duster is a driver, I use it to commute (not every day, and not this year since it's torn down for paint). Yes it costs more than my Mini Cooper to drive the 60 miles to work and back. But that's justifiable as transportation.
I actually considered selling the Duster and getting...
Ok, you guys who are calling this a flip are not looking at this straight. The first ad was a classified with a fixed price. The second is ebay. At the time I read this, there are six bids, and price is only $4,550. Obviously there is time to go on the auction, and it will be bid up. We can't...
Not everyone follows ebay EVERY WEEK. Sometimes you get some action, and gauge the potential price by the number of followers, NOT the highest bid. Because if there is interest, eventually someone will come along and HAVE to have it, and bid to win. I've been selling on eBay since 1999, and have...
Straight, and to the point. Truth is, an item is only worth what someone is willing to pay. If all the offers are lowball, then either the item isn't worth what you think, or you are not advertising in the right place. Which still means the item isn't worth what you think to that specific...
