  1. This is what pisses me off. Everyone hears what is reported on the media and thinks embryonic stem cell research is the answer to everones problems. Well, that's crock of crap. Stemcells can be had in much better form from umbilical cords, spinal fluids, brain tissue etc without the need to create an embryo and dissmantle it. So, before you call GB an idiot, do some research.

  2. What makes this a rip off? I do take offense to that statement :angry:

    Are R springs for a wagon readily available anywhere but from Volvo or maybe a few select auto recyclers?

    How much would you pay for a set of 4 R springs for an 855 from Volvo? I think it is more than my asking price.

    Yes they are used but these springs really do not suffer from any wear and tear. I have springs on my car with over 150k miles and they have very little if any sag in them and are basically as good as new condition. These things do not wear out. Now other parts in our suspensions do wear out, but not springs. So them being used is NOT an issue.

    AND, how many time do I have to say it - ITS AN ASKING PRICE. Yes the original "asking" price was $75

    I aquired these parts with my hard earned dollars. I made the 2 hr. trip up to Seattle to get them. Danny had to do very little to unload these. Oh, yah he helped me carry them accross the street to my car. Thank you Danny!

    AND - Danny did not provide all of the mounting hardware for the skid plate so I had to purchase the mounting kit from IPD for the skid plate. $20 shipped. Maybe I could have found some bolts that would have worked to mount the plate from a parts store but I want to make sure it is done right. I have a family that rides with me in my vehicles and I want the comfort in knowing I have top quality parts installed that are put together correctly.

    There are expenses involved in aquiring and selling products.

    So I have an investment in the parts and until I decide I will use them they are FOR SALE.

    My asking price is $125

    All reasonable offers will be considered. I prefer local pickup. But will deliver to as far north as Seattle or south to Olympia or so. (is there no value in that?)

    I prefer cash but other methods of payment will be acceptable if I have to ship to you.

    I'm glad a simple post advertising parts for sale creates so much attention! This is no RIP OFF.

    buying springs plus a skid plate from ANOTHER member and selling the springs only for the price you paid for both isn't shady? R springs can be had ALL DAY LONG for under 40 bucks. Take your shady shit else where, it's no longer welcome here.

  3. Do we not live in a free market economy bro, wtf?

    I may decide to use the R springs for my 855 but for now I have enough work to do and until I get a chance to consider it they are for sale and that is my "asking price".

    ripping off other members is generally frowned upon.

  4. Yeah, it does seem a bit high. Like I said above, I don't know exact pricing yet. As far as I know, no one makes something like this for those cars. All of it is done custom. I just put it out there for anyone who might be interested.

    true, but it's not rocket science. Just get some bends, pull the OEM one off, lay the bends out, cut/weld to fit, weld what ever nipples on, sand, polish, done.
