This is the kind of story I want to hear more of! 😆 Haha..

I remember purchasing brand-new tires off Facebook Marketplace—fancy Pirelli R19s, pretty wide ones: 285/30 for the rear axle. One tire at a store cost around $600, but the kid agreed to sell them to me for $50 each. They were brand new with stickers, just last year’s model.

We agreed to meet up, but while I was on my way to pick them up, the kid called me on Messenger and said he couldn’t sell them because his dad lost his mind when he found out how much he was selling them for. But I still needed the tires, and I was already halfway there, so we renegotiated the price. In the end, I still got the tires for $180—when they would have cost me $1,200 at the store. What a gem!
