How much would you pay from your local?
« on: 28 May 2011, 21:53 »
At the time it seemed a lot lol but not sure now.
Cut long story short I had gti headlights, 8v airbox, square indicators, oval indicators and two sets off front indicators. (all orange cl items)
He wanted £50 I said £40 or nothing, then ended coming home with nothing  :grin:

Scrappies seem to be getting expensive these days  :angry:

I wouldnt pay any more than £30! Fair play to you for sticking to your guns!

Youre gonna have to get a mate to go down there and fetch the bits though if you really need em  :grin:

Funny really, scrappies seem to have different prices for eveyting.  Some things they know there worth, some they dont.

I picked up a load of bits i thought were going to cost me around £40, he said £10.  lol

Oh well, barter hard!

I've found that a cheeky 'make it cheap, I'm poor' with accompanying smile seems to make the price low. Maybe that's just my natural charm though? :P
