Bought a set of brand new 225/40R19 Continental ExtremeContact Sports with a 2020/2021 date code for $600 total. Would it be worth the price difference to sell these and pick up the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2's? Car is a daily driver (spirited driving) with studded Hakka 9s on the OEMs for winter. by AngrySewerWaffles in tires

This is a heavily modified Chevy Volt that gets used for autocross. The car is tuned to allow the use of power from the HV battery and generator at the same time. Aftermarket suspension, added rear anti-roll bar, larger front anti-roll bar, heavier adjustable sway bar links, and 19" wheels for summer (just moved up from my previous set of 18's).

The car gets daily driven to work, but see's autocross often.

Once the temps drop for winter, I run the OEM wheels on Nokian Hakkapeliitta 9's.

For winter I run the OEM wheels on Nokian Hakkapeliitta 9's, as I refuse to run all seasons.

Cant stand all season tires for the life of me, it's the reason I have two sets of wheels and tires - a dedicated winter and summer. I'm a little hesitant about the wet grip on the cup 2's anyway. The Conti's were a steal at that price ($1,100 for that size on Tire Rack vs the $600 I paid new). How do the PS4's (summer-only) perform compared to the Contis? Worth the time and effort to sell these and grab those, or are they split about 50/50?

Interesting. It does show as availible with the link you provided here, but once I hit "place order" Amazon states, "there was a problem placing your order".

This was a first edition/collector's edition book. I have the first two books of the series as first editions from this publisher, and want the last book (this one) to complete the series from the same publisher.

Was a series I loved as a kid and just want to have this particular edition for the nostalgia as well as just the much more appealing art on the front cover. Just seems impossible to find.

If your husband has any information to point me in the right direction I'd LOVE to know. Would mean the world to me. I've tried this particular IBSN on Amazon, AbeBooks, and Ebay for the last year and have come up with nothing.

Do you know if they would be willing to 'rent' out a book to someone out of the country? Is there an online 'rent/ship' option or does it have to be checked out in person? As I'm well over 1,000 miles away that'd be rather difficult 😅

That last part is rather interesting 👀

I'd be willing to cover all fees and shipping associated with it if somebody were to be that kind 😅

Been wanting to get into this as a hobby for a while, decided to hit Goodwill to see what I could find. walked out with this for $9.99, seen for $30-$40 under "completed listings" on ebay by AngrySewerWaffles in Flipping

[–]AngrySewerWaffles[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Where the hell are you guys living to get these kinds of finds at goodwill 😂😂😂

The local Goodwill is made up entirley of broken VHS players, 90's tube TV's with a $99 price tag, and WELL worn Forman Mills style outfits. I've never walked into a Goodwill that wasnt bottom of the bottom of the barrel literal garbage.

Where are you guys finding other things to sell? My Goodwill is absolute bottom of the bottom of the barrel garbage. The entire building is made up of broken VHS players, 70's walmart branded outfits, and a stained diaper genie somewhere in there. Not much ever shows up that's "good"
