  1. Can you be scammed SELLING something on C list? Guy wants to use paypal, is only asking for my email address to paypal money, but it seems "fishy" to me. Please advise....

     

    the email

     

    "Hi,

    Thanks for the response, i will be using PayPal surcharges since i am

    interested in the immediate purchase for my Son.he just moved out of

    state,where this is needed and i will be making use of a shipping

    company to have this picked up from you and have it delivered to him

    Further arrangements will be made with you in regards to the pick up

    once i have paid you.I am ready to buy it now for my Son and i am at

    sea at the moment as i am an expatriates and due to the nature of my

    work, phone calls making and visiting of website are restricted but i

    squeezed out time to check this advert and send you an email regarding

    it. I really want the goods to be a surprise for Son so i wont let him

    know anything about the goods until it gets delivered to him, i am

    sure he will be more than happy with the Product. I insisted on PayPal

    because i don't have access to my bank account online as i don't have

    internet banking, but i can pay from my PayPal account, as i have my

    bank a/c attached to it, i will need you to give me your PayPal email

    address and the price so i can make the payments asap for the goods

    and pls if you don't have PayPal account yet, it is very easy to set

    up, go to http://www.paypal.com and get it set up, after you have set it up i

    will only need the e-mail address you use for registration with PayPal

    so as to put the money through. have a pick up agent that will come

    and pick the goods up after i have made the payments...

     

    Thanks."

  2. Its every 3yrs here...ive looked online at neighbors houses proposed values, and they all went down...im just getting f'd because theyre taking it down a % off the '07 values and not taking in to thought the appraisals saying 75 and 80 they agreed on just last year.

     

    Yes-but either way you are going to have to "fight" it. (Submit paperwork, wait 6 months, show up to a "committee hearing"). So, in the long run its probably worth it. If you have comparable at a lower assessment, you've got a great case.

  3. Trying to see if it would be worth my time trying to fight franklin county...when i moved into my house 2.5 years ago, they had the value at $117,300. i bought it for $78k. argued the value down, they agreed on that at the beginning of 2010. now the new appraisals came out, i got a letter saying it would be $102,200 (HA!). went to the open house type thing they had, took my stuff from when i bought the house (HUD appraisal showing $75k, banks showing $80k, closing statement), and today i get a letter saying that the $102,200 is final and if i want to argue it, i'll have to go through the whole process i just went through...in the end, this will add approximately $550/yr ($45/mo) to my mortgage...while it isnt a lot, its BS they raised it by so much. if they came back with $85-88k-ish, i'd probably agree with them.

     

    I just find it funny that while everyones value in my neighborhood dropped, and i got mine done ahead of all them, mine goes up by 30%. WTF.

     

    IF i could sell this house for $102k now, i'd fucking take the ~$20k i'd end up with and run. that wont happen though.

     

    so do i spend my time going through the process again, and paying an appraiser like $300 to try to get it lowered back down?

     

    I am a Mortgage Banker, I can help you with this. IMO though-you have to realize they do "assessments" every year (the value they gave you was form a guy sitting behind a desk, not an actual appraisal of ant sort. ). If they did it this year, they may do it every year.... I would talk you friends you know in the area to see if they are dealing with the same issues.

     

     

     

    Just shoot me a PM and we can handle it Monday if you want an appraisal.

  4. Originally purchased from Japanese Auto Salvage-this was do for a 240 build. It sat for nearing 2 years, and the previous owner has since lost motivation to do anything with the set up.

    Out of an 05 with 40k. Everything on the engine is in perfect working order besides the PS pump, the pulley is slightly bent from the accident. This includes ALL electronics /engine harness (engine side, it is a 2 piece harness and the other side is in the car) sans the rear CAS sensors, and the starter. Also included is a Fidanza Lightened Flywheel and 2.1 clutch (A $1100 Value New!!). Transmission comes with tail housing and shifter.

     

     

    Asking $1500 obo. Delivery available. The motor alone is $1950 from Japanese Auto BEFORE shipping!

     

    Let me know-I want it out of my truck!

  5. More FIATs sold in recent months than Coopers.

     

    And the reason this one will sell? 170ish HP (tune in to find out exact #s, I don't even know them yet) and 2000 lbs = obscene fun.

     

    If that was the case, everyone would own a turbo'd Colt.

     

     

    Get a 150k mile from a junkyard and you start the party at 200hp.

  6. No thanks, only trades I'd be interested in would be with cash coming to me. With my future gear slammer coming in March I'm trying to put money in the bank, not take it out. Lol

     

    I meant cash coming your way boss. :fuckyeah:

  7. I have my programmable thermostat set for 69 between 7 a.m. and 11 p.m. After that, it drops down to 65. My gas bill hasn't been over $90 since I moved in. My wife complains until she sees the gas bill, then I usually get a few days of silence.

     

    I totally believe in turning it down at night.

     

    Oh, and adding more insulation to your house (if you can) works wonders.

     

    How large is your space?

     

    $90 seems REALLY cheap

  8. Help me win an argument I am having. I have gas forced air heating in my house. I believe it will cost less money to lower the heat while I am sleeping and/or not home. This is because the colder my house is the longer it will stay at the temperature on my thermostat. Some people keep telling me when I get home and the temp is set higher then the furnace will run more (DUH) and cost more energy to heat up the house then just keeping it set at a high temp 24/7. Fucking run-on sentences.

     

    Thoughts?

     

     

    Kindly tell those "other people" they are stupid fucking morons.

  9. Only mods to the car were a cam and full exhaust. Previous owner put better rod bolts in it. This tells you how bad my luck is, other people spray the guts out of these things and they live. Mine comes apart with basically nothing done to it.

     

    Who tuned it?
