I've been trying to sell some 356 parts for a year. It's finally come down to I HAVE to get rid of it. I pulled out some wheels, a gas tank, some gauges, and put an ad on Facebook Marketing offering the rest of the stuff for free:
"First come, first served, pickup between 10AM and 2PM Saturday. The scrapper comes at 2PM for anything that's left."
I got 4 or 5 responses within 10 minutes, most people want to pick it up at a time of
their convenience. A couple of people said they can be there at 10, one guy wanted me to hold it all so he could come
look at it at 11. One guy offered to PayPal me $100 to buy it sight unseen, and asked if I had any other parts. This was turning into a fk'in pain in the ass fiasco as I was beginning to regret not just sending it all to scrap.
I took the guy up on the $100. I told the 2 confirms that it wasn't available anymore, and shut the ad down. I feel kinda bad about it, but if those people wanted these parts, they could have answered any of the ads I've been running for the past 6 months.
The guy with the $100 is going to buy the wheels and other stuff too, so this is turning into a $500 deal.
But I still feel bad about getting those people's hopes up and then cutting them off. I wasn't running an auction, but it turned into one anyway.
It's not like it's a pile of gold, mostly just junk, but worth $100 any day.
