Well these aren't quite deals of the day but these are a few of my latest that I did pretty well on.

I bought this G scale electric train at an estate sale for $200.00 and wrote a glorified ad and just sold it for a record price of $680.00 on Ebay . The background is a picture I took off the wall of our home.

Paid $8500.00 for this 1966 Mustang five weeks ago on Craigslist that was advertised for $11,500.00 and got it shipped 140 miles for free with my AAA card then bought $700.00 in parts and did some minor detailing etc and just sold it five days ago on Ebay for $14,500.00.

Just bought this 1966 Mustang with a rebuilt 289 for $5500.00 in Washington . It was loaded on the shippers truck 30 minutes ago . It will cost me $500.00 delivered to my door 1200 miles away . I can sell it as is for $8000.00 but I will probably do a few minor things to it then sell it for around $10,000.00.

I not only don't have an edit button because I am so dangerous, I am also not allowed to change my location or view jpeg photos, irregardless, it's irrelevant where someone lives.

OMG...please don't give barn an edit button, he might hurt somebody with it!

Picked up a running and driving OBS Flareside for $500 Friday. Not the prettiest, but you can't beat a running and driving truck for that price.

Yea the flaresides are cool as heck. I'm not sure what I wanna do with it yet. It's not a daily driver. Even though that's what I've been using it as for the last week.

Might try and trade it for a wheeler, do a partial trade with some cash for a smaller 5 speed truck, a cool old car, or just keep it and drive it when it snows or to take out the mountains. It needs work, but like I said it runs and drives so I can't complain. They handle pretty good actually. Just slow lol. It's not something I'd wanna take on long trips.

5.0 302
I'm debating on if I wanna dump money into it or not. It needs rust repair. The frames solid but brackets to this and that are rusting off, the corners of the floors have a small hole. Valve covers weep some oil. Getting the exhaust leaks fixed this week at work. Just a lot of little things. Nothing major though. Like I said it runs and drives so I can't complain as long as I don't sink too much into it. Still debating. Plus I got 4 brand new mud tires at the house to go on it. ;)

Wish it wasn't an automatic though...
It's got the cool factor so it really makes me wanna fix this ol' jalopy up to a daily driver. The gas station attendants love me, I know that.

It leaks where all the pipes connect. Where the headers meet, at the cat, at the muffler. It's not sealing. Someone tried to half ass weld it.

Fact - You seem to like facts
Fact - Your location is listed as Minnesota
Fact - You posted a photo of a car with palm trees in the background and stated that you had it delivered 140 miles to you
Fact - When asked about California’s proximity to Minnesota instead of saying that you were in California you instead said that it was “irrelevant where someone lives”
Fact - I responded to your location statement with evidence to the contrary showing that where someone lives is in fact relevant in certain situations, but I have no way of knowing if this applies in your situation
Fact - You blame a lot of things on your lack of an edit button

I think a sufficient amount of time has passed for your edit buttons status to be changed from “missing” to “presumed dead”. Fact - It’s time to suck it up, dry the tears and move on.

LOL! No, it's "Caja California" or "California Box". I have no idea why, but that's what they call em here. Rangers are call "mini-Rangers" and F150's are called Lobos and that's just the tip of the iceberg!

Tuesday someone ditched a car with a body in the trunk next to the house I lived in 7 years ago. It took the cops 9 hours to open the trunk :rolleyes: It would have been easier if they'd have tossed the corpse in a Caja California!!! :Bounce

OK. Deal is done. I picked up this 2007 Sienna LE for FREE. Yes FREE. 220,000KM on it. Needs a rad. The pic of the two vans has my 2004 CE with 420,000KM.

The 2004 needs a bunch of stuff. I can still salvage a couple bucks for it as it sits now. I don't want to put any money into it. I do have the room to keep it but don't want my driveway looking like "Samford and Sons"...

You can have more children and put them in the mini van and take them to soccer practice or school and take english and get a B or maybe trade cash for EBT cards but oh they don`t have that in Canada and 2 mini vans are better then 1 so who cares what the neighbors think cause both the mini vans are the same color so you should lift them both and put 35" BFG`S on center line wheels just ask Barnett768 !

I am all done having kids. :) Vans are different color.
Or colour as we say in Canadian. :)

Pretty good condition bought it from the original owner. Engine was rebuilt in 2002 or so. Has new clutch new starter solenoid. Was repainted after he bought it from the dealer because it was starting to peel. (What is it with 1990 - 2005 paint jobs that made them peel regardless of brand?) Could use some tires as these don't look safe

I think I bought it from Willie Nelson's brother. Lol just kidding. I called the guy up and I asked when he was available for me to come look at his truck. His reply " oh I gotta tend to the pigs then brew me some beer" He had a restored highboy. Wish I gotten pics but it was done well

I was more or less joking. But I would rather the manual transmission, the older dash's are nicer, better mirrors. It might have a longer bed? I can't tell.

Manual transmission will always be better in my book. I thought about doing the swap but parts would cost me more than I paid for my whole truck. Might look for a donor truck soon. I wanna keep the flareside bed, that's da money maker.

Not exactly the “deal” I thought it would be, but I did get all my money back without having to fight.

The ad said it was in good working condition, but had scratches. What it didn’t say was that it was cracked and that one of the bolts was removed with a cutting disc along with a chunk of the cover. The search for a decent Tri-Z clutch cover continues…

Are you going to paint that one, or just flip it like Dave Hester? YUUUUUPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!

Painting cars here where I may or may not live costs too much to be able to make money on the lower dollar cars like this one so it's better to just sell them with whatever paint or primer is on them . I am doing the interior though . I have a dealer account so I get dealer pricing on parts and do most of the labor myself so it doesn't cost me a lot . I may do some engine compartment detail also like you saw on my 1970 Mach 1 428 Cobra Jet car although it won't be nearly as detailed as that . Just some masking and spray canning etc . Then people only have to worry about painting it so its a far less overwhelming project for them and they can drive it as they restore it . Many of my cars go to overseas dealers and they often seem to be less concerned about the paint than local buyers.

I also bought a fairy clean 1981 C70 a few hours ago and just drove it over to my friends house so he could laugh at me but instead of laughing he wished it was his, lol.

Just curious. Why did you buy them? To flip or for personal use?

I buy and sell old muscle cars, mainly Mustangs. I buy them in decent to nice condition then bring them up another notch then resell them. I used to do some full Concours trailered type restorations as well but that was just not worth all the time and effort. All the old cars are getting incredibly hard to find and find at a decent price, so I expanded into some of the newer cars as a supplement to make a dollar or two to help pay the rent. I have been getting them from auctions that specialize in selling government agency vehicles.

These are the two police interceptors I recently bought as well which are now on Ebay.

Well, that river is called Fish Creek and it is in Oneida County NY. That particular spot is in the Town of Vienna where we live. That nice house isn't ours unfortunately, ours is much more modest, but it's ours. ;)

I was actually being kind of naughty in that video, all of Fish Creek that is navigable by boat is technically "no wake" zone. We were a ways farther upstream than most people go, no docks, boats or developed waterfront was harmed in that test run. I had to get the jetting adjustments dialed in. (love adjustable jets on those old motors!) Once tuning was done, I resumed being a good boy. :D

Saw this ad on offer up and decided to low ball them..... surprisingly the seller agrees! LOL

Check out this Honda zr50 parts for $1 on OfferUp http://offerup.co/lLdq/MC4HICOd6F

I got two 1984 z50r bikes all in pieces, and it was right in my neighbor hood. After looking thru some of the box I found a 108cc cylinder and piston.

I'm hoping that's a stroker crank on the z50 bottom end.?!

My neighbor scored an SCCA F500 kart last week for a few hundred dollars. It's amazing that this machine made it as far as it did passing hands for little to no money multiple times along the way and eventually being found sitting outside in a junk yard with a blue tarp over the engine.

Apparently the original owner was getting divorced, the kart was listed, but nobody showed any interest in it. It then got hauled off for scrap. Now, I don't know who this particular scrapper was, but apparently the thought never crossed their mind that they might want to keep the cart for their own. Instead they scrapped it, and because it's mixed metal (mostly aluminum and chromoly) and also because it's engineered to be as light as possible, they most likely got about $30 in scrap value out of it.

My neighbor found it and showed me pictures that night, and I flipped my wig. The neighbor struck a deal first thing the next day and it was dropped off the day after that.

The car is an absolute work of art. We play billiards out in my neighbor's barn and the kart is in there as well. The first night the kart was in the garage we didn't start shooting pool for over an hour after we got out there. Everyone was focused on the race car and the high end quality of all the pieces that make it up. It has a 500cc Rotax twin and a cog belt final drive. This kart must be as smooth as silk, I can only imagine. I told him if he wanted to spend the money to run it (it would take thousands) I would have to insist on being the pilot. It would take a lot to update this kart though. Tires, safety harnesses, hoses... All date coded and expired and all would need to be replaced. It's only been test run, it doesn't appear as if the kart has been raced. It looks like it was nearing completion around 1999-2000 give or take, then it was put aside.

This machine is worth whatever someone is willing to pay, and it's a limited market. That can be good or bad. When this kart was built, they cost about $40,000 to $50,000. This kart as it sits has been estimated to be worth $8,000 to $10,000, but that's with speaking to only a handful of people on the subject. It's difficult to find anyone who even knows what this is. Somehow my brother knew exactly what it was, not sure how.

Anyways this thing is super cool and for a few hundy I'd say this was quite the deal.

Fer a few hundy I would bought it just to rip around the neighborhood till I found the right buyer.

Is there supposed to be some body panels for it? Hood? Engine cover?

fabiodriven

11-19-2018, 12:54 PM

Yes there are supposed to be body panels Scooter. That's yet another reason why it would be very expensive to get it going again. If you Google SCCA F500 kart you'll see exactly what these machines look like.

11-19-2018, 01:14 PM

That is friggin' sweet!

At first I thought an 18 year old kart would be ancient in any type of racing but further reading on these, it is a spec class so there isn't a lot of change allowed. Can't do anything to the internals on the engines according to the rules. A lot of the parts probably hasn't changed much.

Like Scooter says, be fun as heck to terrorize the neighborhood with.

The newer karts have independent suspension in the rear. That appeared to be one of the bigger changes over the years.

I picked this up. I posted earlier in this thread about picking up my 2007 Sienna for 'free'. I picked up this 2011 Sienna for $4000.00 Canadian. Needed nothing for safety. Comparable van with same mileage in my area go for $10,000-13,000.

I will still get 6,000 for my old van that I got for free. :). I had a total of $1,500 to get it on the road. Darn taxes I had to pay.

Connecticut goes by Kelly Bluebook even when you have a notorized bill of sale or buy a car with proven purchase price from an auction.

I got a rusty F250 and the govt here says it is worth 11K can show I paid $7,000, but the only way to try paying less in sales tax is request a formal hearing from the DMV for review.

My brother in law is a ball buster and he always fights with the state over car values. The best was him going to town hall with a rusted out 90's bronco and dragged the assessor out to see it in parking lot. He told the person if you think it is worth $5,000 please sell it for me and you can keep anything past $1,500. The town dropped the value down to $1,500.

6.5% tax on anything $4k and over here in Arky.
I've never had them compare to blue book here and they've never batted an eye when I hand them a bill of sale for less than $4k. Most cars I buy though are older with low miles so they either don't care or don't know.

I'm with you Glamy.....there ought to be a law....repeal used car sales tax!.....single mothers (a.k.a. strippers) can't be expected to pony up all their $1 bills on an item that's already been taxed.....that drives up the cost at the nudey bar and I got to dole out more $1 bills all because the single moms has to pay tax on her used car.....it's unpatriotic!

Taxed. Every. Single. Year..... Not just once, every year. I added up my tax for an $28,000 car over the twenty years that I would be driving it until it quit and it was nearly$9K in "wheel tax" over a twenty year period. 30% of the purchase price of the car...... That's Theft.

Then they claim that they need the money to keep our roads in a condition of perpetual construction..... Because they forgot that they had already told us that the lottery was supposed to be used for schools and roads.... Apparently, the 20 billion in annual additional Indiana state revenue didn't cover these costs even though it was apparently enough money to fund perpetual construction for the decades immediately beforehand. Amazingly, they suddenly didn't have enough funds right before the state was to vote on a lottery.... But nobody said a word because they were chomping at the bit to throw their paychecks into the new poor tax.... Because 200 million dollars is alot of money to win

We've got personal property tax each year that includes cars, boats, atv, etc. but I've never questioned how they assess the values (that's assess not asses.) Or maybe they have asses assessing?
I don't know if I want to look into it because I will probably hurl if I find out what it actually costs to own a vehicle.

We have to pay 13% on the book value if it is a private sale. Can't remember off hand the final numbers but it was around $800 in taxes for my free van. All said and done with work to it I was into about $1500.00.

I did get my new van from the dealer. I only had to pay the taxes on what I payed for it. Not the book value.

Big cash grab!!! Like come on. First person payed the tax on the new vehicle. What if it was resold 3 or 4 times???

I do not have a link to my store, but my user name is "Dirtcrasher", just like here - I crash allot, always have since I was born on a power wheel...

I list allot of NOS stuff that is pretty expensive. I'm a hoarder, so if I'm selling something, I either don't own the trike or I just bought the item, repaired it and am now trying to make a profit.

Or I bought it to simply flip it.

Been listing some LC 250R stuff as I run inverts on the 452X now, don't need R parts.

My stuff is not inexpensive, but it always sells. Mike from VMS was telling me how many people send him "hate messages" for his NOS items, he too knows everything sells in time... :D

I can knock 10% off if I sell outside Ebay.

I drove by one of my neighbors houses that bought a car from me last year and saw a nice BMW Turbo model in their driveway with a for sake sign on it so I stopped by to check it out. It was owned by a person that rents out the room above their garage, and sitting right next to it was a 79 MGB convertible, so I asked him who owned it and he said it was the homeowners but they were not there at that time. I came back later that day and talked to them about it and they said they wanted to sell it and wanted $1500.00. I told them I would check it out then determine what it was worth to me and get back to them the next day.

The next day I went back there and told them that because of the parts it may possibly need to get it running properly, and because it was going to cost me around $400.00 to get a title and get it registered, that it was only worth $400.00 to me, but that I would list it for them for free on a few different sites if they wanted to get more money for it, and they said they didn't want people they don't know coming over so they sold it to me for the $400.00 I offered them. I towed it to my house with my truck and a long tie strap then started working on it the next day by first changing the gas, and low and behold, it immediately ran perfect after this and has run perfect ever since.

I checked all the other fluid levels which were fine, and checked the wheel cylinders and calipers for leaks, which there were none. I had to spend around an hour fixing some wiring, and I installed a new headlight switch and emergency flasher switch which set me back all of $20.00. It was missing the convertible top frame but I was lucky enough to find a perfect one on Ebay that had just been repainted, for only $120.00, so I bought that and it took me all of another hour to install it and install the old convertible top to it that did come with the car.

It has 68k original miles and around 143 psi in each cylinder and doesn't smoke and runs like a Swiss watch.
