    Dude, I had a 2 different guys text me and asked if I would deliver them a $15 tire off a scrap car. Mind you I sell my used tires CHEAP.. Any shop around here will charge $30-$35 bucks for a used tire and then nail them with the "balance, valve stem etc." I'm really trying to do people a favor and make some money off the car- without trying to compete with a shop.. So I had two different guys- one north of me and one south of me ask if I would deliver a tire to them.



    My response: Well, let's see, I'd lose billable time, It would cost me $8 bucks in gas.. so no.. it isn't worth it to me to lose $ on what I'm trying to sell you.
    One guy got the hint
    The Second guy said "Well yeah dude, but I don't have a car that I can get to you.. THAT'S WHY I NEED THE TIRE!" Oy! Maybe he doesn't have a friend.. or a mommy.. or the phone number to a taxi company *Shrug*
