Shipping Costs are Ridiculous Any More + Need PMs to Secure YOUR Place in Line on Classified Ads Options

[euro911]

As some of you may have noticed, I've recently been posting a lot of parts in the classifieds. Unfortunately, I'm moving on from 914 ownership due to changes in life conditions. I'm NOT going away though - a lot of you guys and gals have become good friends over the past 17 years that I've been a member of this incredible forum (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I'm trying to provide what I think are fair prices for the items, and by the responses (and quick sales), apparently I'm right on track. However, when it comes to shipping large or long items cross country, the costs to ship those items has sky-rocketed and sometimes become a deal-breaker, and I understand that. In hind sight, I really should have listed certain items for local pick-up only (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) ... and will be more cognizant of that fact going forward.

ALSO, due to the amount of ads I've posted, it's hard to keep up with replies that appear on the ads. I receive a notification when a I get PM that either asks questions, or a declaration that someone definitely wants to purchase the particular item.

I have to say that it's a lot easier to respond to the PMs than it is to scroll through all the ads to see if someone has declared their desire to purchase the item(s) in the ads. I have to look at the time stamp to determine 'who's on first', and who's, in line afterwards.

So, in summation, I think it's best for prospective buyers to shoot me a PM to claim their spot in line. It's OK to reply on the ad, but please, follow it up with a PM as soon as possible.

I thank y'all for the consideration (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)
