[For Sale] [NA+NB] NB Convertible Top Frame (fits NA too maybe?)

[jhodgson]

This is an NB top frame. I believe you need this to put a glass window on an NA but that might not be right.

All packed up and sold on Ebay, but it sold for $125 and the shipping was $130.

$75 OBO

Let me understand. You sold something to somebody (entered into a contract) and refused to follow through?

[Theo]

No, I think he means the buyer backed out because the shipping was so expensive?

[nile13]

I'd be curious.

Either way, NB frame definitely fits an NA.

Did you know that if you contact people, honestly explain your situation, then ask if there's some agreement that could be made, a lot of times folks will understand and it ends up being no big deal?

I'm just asking because the way you've phrased this it sounds like you're one of those people who likes being combative on the internet.

My experience is if you're nice, usually people are nice back.

I haven't posted here in a while but has this board become one of the places where internet warriors get all squinty-eyed now?

No, not really (to all of your above assumptions). I do find it odd that you'd put the info in the add, sounds kinda counterproductive Than again, what do I know, I sell for a living.

Thats not my general experience, but certainly I could see why you would think that. Nile13 what is it you sell for a living?

Jim - I've had great luck shipping with Greyhound lately. I've shipped a Miata hood, door, and dashboard each for around $50. Sounds like it is too late to help your eBay sale, but may be a good reference for the future (or for anyone else out there that needs to ship big items!). Also you get a 25% discount on their published rates if you book shipping online and use the coupon code "web25".

GLWS!

I can concur with Nick's suggestion to ship via Greyhound. When I had my importing business I'd ship large items like hoods and bumpers and even roll cages all across the country with Greyhound. Your other party will need to pick it up from the local station but that shouldn't be a big deal considering the savings.

Software and engineering services. But does it really matter? Sales are fairly universal.

I've had a race seat shipped to me via Greyhound recently it was OK, not without snags. I, personally, prefer UPS for wheels, tires, seats and other bulky stuff. Just had a set of 17" wheels and another set of 15x10s with 275 tires shipped within the last two weeks. You have to be careful with "dimensional weight", but I've generally found them to be comparable to Greyhound price-wise with better tracking and service.

But, generally, shipping costs are getting out of hand a bit lately. I ship and receive a lot of car parts, both US and internationally.
