Hope you have the same luck with tires.
NOT Risking it lol!! I found a set in Vancouver for a steal. Even at 100 for courier, I am happy to find a set here. It was the rims that nobody around here want to sell for at least TRIPLE what I got mine for. Tires are plenty and easy to find locally.

Thanks man.

I just list everything for $20 more than I actually want for the item and knock $20 off the asking price.

It makes these folks super happy! If none of them show up then I end up super happy when someone buys it for $20 more than I think it's worth!

You can get a really good deal if you know what you are doing.

Good tires are sitting in garages taking up room because the car they went with was sold or totaled etc.
There are so many sizes available that the chances of reusing them are slim so better to sell them for a song and make room.

LOL. We just dropped 760 on the first of three summer camps' invoices. I will make plenty of time to get a deal on tires.

Bruh, your time also has a price. Buying used tires is like buying used condoms. It’s an accident waiting to happen.

LOL> Love your analogies. Speaking from experience?

I'm not going in blind man...it's a risk assessment exercise. If it is mitigated, you're gtg, I was trying to capitalize on the 10% CT ebates promo, but slept early that night & missed out. Dilemmas!!!!

ok first time even purchasing something that could be potentially stolen goods...the seller signed up on Kijiji 2 weeks ago, I asked if he had the receipt for warranty purpose and he asked why lol, should have rang some alarm bells

BNIB seald PS4 Pro for $400, I went to the guy's place in a nice neighbourhood...but then found a strip of low income subsidized apartments, with latinos and black guys hanging out front of it lol
(My childhood was also in a poor neighbourhood so nothing new to me)

The guy didn't see my message and drove off to sell something else so I told him to bring it to me later that evening.

He comes in driving a Mercedes, in his early 20s lol, that same guy is also selling an XPS 15 for $1400 and some Art projector thing...

PS4 listing still up...so either he hasn't taken it down or he had more than one to sell...

Should I be worried that my PS4 gets reported as stolen and blacklisted or something?

There's this guy...low balls me at 40% under asking price saying he's far away then ask for bundle and when I told him I have another offer for close to asking price, he says: "I can meet soon and I’m a serious buyer", yeah right...

Then another one wants a discount on a $25 item AND wants me to meet up across the city, hell no.

Doubt it. There is usually no link established between the serial and the stolen inventory. Easier just to claim the losses and insurances would pay for it.

It's also a way to launder international corruption/drug/terrorists money into legit cash.

I got a new one...

I am a newcomer to Canada, please give me the best price.

SMH.

Edit: Also there's a different person who keeps contacting me. Price is $55, but they keep asking $25. I never reply back and I thought they would realize that means no. Funny thing is I've had multiple people with different accounts also bargain to the same $25 which is find hard to believe that it's not the same person.

Funny seems like all the delusional sellers are out in full force after the Raps championship win. Here are some funny ads I saw: One guy selling a Fred VanVleet signed 8X10 photo from Realsports for $3000 and another guy selling a Lids cap with 3 signatures claiming that only 1 store in the world can stitch signatures on a cap. Some of these claims are laughable.

Forgot to mention someone selling the cheap Bluenotes Raptors shirts which are $20 for $50 each. LOL.
