$50 to help me out - Anyone live near Oxnard, CA?

[flot]

PM me, easy $50 for an hour or two of work - I need someone in Oxnard to help me out...

Edit: Details below, not shady, need to have 4 tires/wheels shipped...

Will $50 even buy you a soda or a gallon of fuel in CA? 😛

 

[flot]

Haha well I don't know about that, but sounds like a good deal for an easy task!

What are you trying to do? Kill and bury someone?

 

[bennylong]

Sorry, I should have been more clear.

I am buying 4 wheels and tires from someone in Cali. Nothing shady - but the shipping costs ($200) are so close to the purchase costs ($300) that I would rather get a 3rd party involved just to verify that everything looks ok.

IE someone to go and pick the wheels up from the seller, verify that they do look more-or-less like the photos he gave me, and put my prepaid shipping labels on them. Because if he were to ship me junk, not only would I be out the $300, I would be out another $200 for shipping that I would not be able to recover.

As far as I know everything is on the up-and-up.

$500 for a $300 set of wheels? Am I missing something? Buy locally for $300?

The wheels and tires are new factory take offs. Factory wheels aren't really worth anything, unless you try to buy them from the factory, in which case they cost $300 each.

The set of tires and wheels, even with shipping, will come out to about the same price as if I had to buy a set of 4 new tires. So if it all goes well I am getting new rims for free.

Hmm, guess oxnard isn't a big computer mecca...

 

[Skunkwourk]

so you just want someone to inspect the wheels for 50 bucks?

 

[sniperruff]

Well, no. For $50, I would like someone to go verify that the wheels are in fact "like new", pick them up, and probably package them. (packaging in this case would involve getting 4 sheets of cardboard and a roll of industrial saran wrap, and wrapping the tires)

I could supply the packing supplies. (or rather spot you the $15 to buy them from u-haul or wherever)

I would have FedEx pick the wheels up from you. Assuming you lived close and were used to shipping, it would be about an hour's worth of work.

One last try...

btw: Oxnard is quite a shady area.

if I had time i would, since Santa Barbara is not that far off, and I can take a winery tour.
but sorry man, midterms are coming up.
