EDIT: Sold today:

Seat belts
2 x Smiths Tachos
New bumpers and over-riders
4 old 10" wheel hubcaps
Cobra seats and sub frames.

If you are in Brisbane and want something, come to my place Sunday morning and grab it.

I would love to prioritise sales to the people who contacted me first but about 30 PMs have overflowed out the back of my in box. So it's first come first served. PM or text me for address.

Thanks for the advice Ty but I was aiming to get someone to take the whole lot at once. Second choice was someone to take enough bits to buy a car. An enterprising type could have taken lots of stuff then on-sold the bits that people were desperate for.

And then there's the third Choice :roll:

Yep, third choice. Spend every night in the shed bubble wrapping each item separately, then every day lugging the bits into town, then taking an extra long lunch to stand walk to the PO and stand in the miles-long line to post to people who seem to be happy to pay what Australia Post charges but nothing for the time, effort and consumables required to post. Oh, and don't forget the hours on emails back and forth sorting bank details and addresses. For anything less than a $200 part, it just isn't worth it. Oh, and the people who miss out always act like you've killed their dog...

Ha ha. Your narration reminds me of the guy in the Berocca TV advert - the one who takes Berocca as a preventative as he prepares for a very busy work and social day and night. :)

Like you he takes it all in his stride. :wink:

This is the last time I will bug everyone about this stuff.

I'm doing a garage sale this weekend and I have updated a for sale thread. I just uploaded more photos. There are heaps of little items I haven't priced. Come around and get a bargain. I couldn't even give some parts away today!

After this weekend I will box it all back up again until the MOCQ Muster in September. I want my life back and I bet Ausmini is sick of these posts!

Thanks to everyone who has been around, it has been great to talk minis! Thanks also to those who have committed to buying. I have put your parts aside for collection.
