For a $50 dollar flat surcharge+the actual cost of shipping, I'll have your Cali classified item picked up and shipped to you, using any chosen method of shipping of your liking.

The simple solution is just to buy new items or items from people who ship and dont rely on items from the west coast. You cant force people to ship if they dont want to. Or just make them an offer they cant refuse, You will pay more but you gonna get what you want. You cant lowball and then expect someone to go through all the trouble to set up shipping!

i couldnt agree with this thread more....im just a poor bastard driving a BMW out here in the land of the Big 3 (Metro Detroit) so no one out here has BMWs.....let alone modded ones. funny thing is ive bought a ton of stuff off of the forum: rims, tires, side skirts, emblems, navigation system,etc.....
so you guys refusing to ship are missing out on sales IMO.
maybe a sub-thread should be started for SoCal local only....just a thought...bc it upsets me when i see something for sale but then later find out that the person wont ship...

It comes down to for me is I dont wanna pay for shipping twice. I had to pay for it new and now I gotta pay for you too? We are all not major Vendors or Corporations. If you want it, you need to come up with shipping on top of the purchase price.
