Rear Window Louvers

I have a set of window louvers for sale, sitting in a box at my parents house. They came on my '89 IROC with the spoiler mounted brake light.

Due to the size of the box, I was quoted over $300 for shipping. Asking $400 shipped, $100 picked up.

Re: Rear Window Louvers

Biggest question for anyone interested, do you have the mounting hardware?

Re: Rear Window Louvers

No I do not. Long story on these. More than anything I'm just trying to get them out of my parents house, not trying to make money on them. If they don't sell by the time I go back, they are going to the recycling center.

Re: Rear Window Louvers

Where is your parent's house? / Where are the louvers located?

Re: Rear Window Louvers

that's too bad U don't have hardware, they like OEM & will cleanup nice, I think those are the best looking style of the rear louvers, put em Craigslist, hate to see those go to the recyclers, best of luck none-the-less

Re: Rear Window Louvers

What shipping method were you quoted? Did you try LTL? That's "Less Than a Load", and even FedEx offers it (Economy, too!). I shipped a 300# crate on a pallet from Denver to Chicao for less than $150.

That's just the thing about these louvers, its harder to find the hardware than it is the louvers themselves.

Re: Rear Window Louvers

Ok, so I was staying at their place for a month while I was between jobs in Italy and Louisiana. With the deal before, I took them to FedEx, and was quoted one price, but the lazy FedEx employee wouldn't box them up. I sent the to the guy that I had the previous deal with, and he said that he would send payment. I left their house to move down to Louisiana, and once I moved he sent payment. While waiting, I boxed them up, and then my dad took the boxes back to FedEx to ship them. They informed him that because of the size of the box, which was only slightly larger than the louvers so that there would be enough packing material all around them, that the only option was crate shipping that would be over $300. I told him to try UPS and DHL, which both said the same thing. The shitty part of the deal is that the hardware shipped to the buyer before he could get word back to me about paying the additional price of the louvers.

Like I said, I'm not trying to make money on this deal, I'd like to sell them to someone who will get some use of them. However, I'm not hurting financially (I'm not rich or anything, I was just smart with my money), so I don't need to sell them. I'd prefer to sell them on here, rather than some Joe Dirt looking dude on craigslist. Mostly at this point just trying to get stuff out of their house.

Re: Rear Window Louvers

To my knowledge, they are indeed. Dad hasn't said anything about anybody picking them up yet. Shoot me a PM with your number and I'll give you a call with his contact information.
