FREE!!!! ????????????????- Pay it Forward (READ POST #1 FIRST!)

In keeping with the generous spirit of ghetto waggon's original thread, here is version II.

For the new people to the thread: What we are trying to accomplish here is a place to come and get an item for free (or shipping cost) and in turn you offer up something in equal value to the community. This is not a TRADE thread. If you want what is up for grabs then you claim that and put up what you have up for grabs.

Version I was getting a little cluttered and confusing. Here is what we are going to keep as "rules" for this thread.

Rule updates made by: evilmonkeyMSP


- Only one offering at a time can be available. (if you have tons of things you would like to give away regardless of taking what is available, by all means, start your own thread :) ) If more than one item is posted I (evilmonkeyMSP) will delete the post and PM the member to hold off.

- No "dibs" to search for something to put up. The first person with something to offer up in exchange gets the current item up and cannot back out once they have taken the previous item (especially if that item has already been shipped to them)

- A picture of the item would be nice but a proper forum pic will only be required if money is exchanging hands (ie: Shipping).

- If an item does not go after 1 full week it will be taken off and someone else can offer something new.

- The next item offered cannot be put up/taken until the previous offer is confirmed to be going to the person who requested it.

For example: Poster #1 puts up spark plugs and poster # 2 wants them and in turn offers up a mazda shirt in turn. Until Poster #1 aknowledges that Poster #2 is getting the spark plugs Poster #2's item cannot be taken.

- The item replacing an item that is being taken should be relatively equal in value. If you need to offer multiple items to replace the one you are taking, this can be done. No trading a turbo in exchange for a mazda pen (evil).

This is hopefully to help keep things less confusing.

We want to keep this going for as long as possible. I will try and monitor the thread as much as possible, and evilmonkeyMSP will moderate as needed.

Current Item up for grabs:

i don't want to sound picky, but what is someone going to do with two sets of bulbs? (and one of them is "used")

Both sets don't have to go to the same person.

Bulbs burn out ? Yah one of them is "used" the life time on these things is what 400 hours ? I had the Nighthawks in for a week and the regular ones in for 2 days before I put the HIDs in.

It was an offer to save someone 20-30$

I would like to keep this more in the "stuff for your cars" type thing so if you could do that i would prefer it...Candy was only offered up as a "jump start" item thats why i didnt mind.
What about a new section under FS called WTT for want to trade? Then people could list car parts for trade in individual threads.
 
WTT is already available but its really kind of a make your own thread deal. I see WTT threads all the time.
 
so what's the status on this? the rr mounts are gone, right? if they're not, I'll take 'em and offer up a set of lightly used oem p5 floormats
 
i'm waiting to hear if "Protege2886" wants the inserts or not - in our PM communications, there was some confusion as to wahts going on. if he doesn't want them, i think the next item is a 2.0 cam / valve cover from "DubbyDoo".
 
true...can ya do me a favor and let me know as soon as you find up so i can update the thread? thanks.
