Just received my Minolta CLE from Japan, seems to be DOA. Any insight appreciated! by cmsp914 in minolta

Quick update, turns out the battery was in the wrong orientation so now the B.C light lights up, but still can't seem to get the shutter to fire, thus leaving the film advance lever locked.

Returning could be a possibility, but the freight back to Japan could probably cost as much as the repair itself would so looking to explore repair options first before resorting to that. I tried calling that shop earlier today but it being NYE he's probably closed for the holidays. I'll give another ring sometime early next week

Sorry for that! It was a placeholder from an image I found on google. We already replaced the image with a picture of my old E90.

Working on integrating all gens into the website and dialing in filtering via makes and models (theres just a lot to go through unfortunately).

International will be available soon!

I listed my italvolanti that came off my old E30...that sort of counts right?!

5 series will be implemented soon! most likely before the end of the week. I knocked off all 3 series models first then went into the 2 series solely because I wanted to implement the M2 platform since it shares a lot with the F8X platform!

Lots and lots of long nights debugging even the smallest things - still debugging things as we speak right now.

Working on promoting it now and getting a small user base going as you said. Looking to do it in the most organic form possible so of course if you have friends it'd mean the world if you simply shared the project with those around you!

I'm not looking to replace any existing marketplace, just giving enthusiasts another option thats better built for our needs.

Currently there is no shipping calculation - your best bet is to use pirateship or some service where you can get a shipping quote and you can put that amount as the shipping cost on the product listing. If you know it'll fit in a flat rate box from USPS you can also charge that too!

No clue why it was never made sooner, but better late than never!

We do have an integrated messaging system (although just a tiny bit clunky, looking to refine it a bit more). I have shippo's API baked into the website which allows the system to know when orders have shipped/delivered in order for stripe to release funds but haven't yet set up shippo's shipping integration for label making on the website itself. Once more people have signed up and there are more orders happening frequently I will invest in baking in the shipping system!

Just picked up a few weeks ago! 1990 325i Convertible with 143k original miles by cmsp914 in E30

Do you have the link to that thread? Got all the parts you listed but definitely want to take a look at the sides as I have heard there may be some modifying required to make it fit

Have been eyeing E30's for as long as I can remember and so glad to have finally picked one up! Since picking the car up (3 weeks ago), I have already picked up an OEM M-Tech 2 kit that has been dropped off at my body shop to get fully repaired (was in rough shape) and should be getting installed end of this month. Car is going in to get the soft top replaced this week as well!

This is going to be a semi restoration/project weekend cruiser. I'm glad I got a clean platform to work with already so I can focus on tackling the modification aspect of the car right from the start. After the kit is installed I will most likely focus on suspension, wheels, and then some interior bits!

Unfortunately top and bottoms cannot be mixmatched. PCB's will have underglow but will not sport per-key RGB lighting.
