How to deal with "Runnables" and I'm not mechanically inclined to fix?

Well this seems to be the story that doesn't want to end. Hoping to draw to a conclusion soon.
It has been 3 weeks of promises and missed deadlines.. so the Blazer ended up coming home on my trailer today with nothing fixed on it. I'm sure there will be many a stabs and jabs but here is my plan of attack. I pulled the battery out of it, I pulled the wheels off and the alternator and posted it up as "Parting out" on CL. Earlier in the week I posted a lengthy ad and attempted to sell it "AS IS" for $1500 bucks- and got not one nibble. Today after getting it home- I listed the blazer as "Parting out" and have had 9 phone calls in the past 2 hours regarding it- 8 of the 9 want the whole thing. I tell them all the same story- yep it runs and drives, but I'm over it. Some of these calls are telling me "Why the hell are you parting this out.. it looks good- it runs and it drives with some issues" Yeah.. where the blankety blank were these people all week when I had it for sale AS IS.

I have probably 1 really certain gentleman who really wants all of it- because he wants the doghouse off of it. I told him- tell you what- you let me keep the alternator, battery, converter, AC pump (which is seized) and I'll sell you the rest of it for $1200 bucks. He seemed delighted at the price and I'll still make $ off core parts sans the rims. Hoping he ends up coming through. Regardless, I put a date in the ad that this thing- if not gone- by Thursday 12-5, goes to the crusher.

As I said- probably going to get some flames on this one- but it seems that after the 3 weeks of hell trying to get this repaired, I just have absolutely no desire to attempt to find another mechanic to fix the problems, I'd just rather cash out and move on. Not sure if this has ever happened to others.. but I just feel like "Who gives a crap what happens to it" Yeah it ran, it drove, probably had about $100 in parts to fix- if that and it could have continued its service life. But when you don't have anyone to come through- it just gets to the point of "blank it"



I'll keep ya all posted!
