The biggest thing to find out is why it was salvaged out......stay away from water and electrical issues.

it is a brand new car that got in an accident at the dealership. left headlight, left fender, left side of bumper, and hood got messed up. but it is almost half off MSRP (even though it never sells at MSRP) everything was replaced and it still has a 4 year warranty.

and stay away from frame damage.
but it sounds like you are describing cosmetic damage.

Since this is the random question thread, how much should I ask for this bed? I put it on craigslist for $50, is that too cheap?

Full size w/ 4 drawers on the bottom.

 

[paul is on tilt]

I'm no expert but I think $50 seems pretty cheap.

 

[boys noize]

$50 sounds about right. I'm assuming the buyer has to come get it themselves?

 

[dr 715]

With all the dirty, grimey, monkey sex that took place on that bed, you need to pay someone $50 to take that bed.

 

[bangdak]

wow, times are harsh enough that people gota start selling beds now?

you're better off keeping the mattress, and selling the bed frame. im no expert though.
salvaged cars are usually a no no. i dont think you should have any major problems since all your damages were minor, but they never tell the truth about thisstuff. if you dont mind me asking, what year/model car are you getting?

 

[chr1scross]

this thread got really random with the bed question

 

[gusyouout]

If it's with the mattress then I think you could put it up for $75 and someone will offer somewhere in the 60's. $50 for the frame sounds good though.

As for the salvaged car I'd stay away since you never really know what actually happened. If it's really what you said it was then it's probablynot that bad. I know someone who had to replace the hood with the headlights from an accident and nothing else was affected during the accident. If that'sall they had to do then the car is probably fine, but if you know someone who knows cars then take them to see it (if you can).

Ok, apparently I know nothing about selling beds.

Someone e-mailed me off craigslist for $75. Don't know if I want to give my address out and have someone come and murder me.

[h2]Cohan, Stoudemire, and the complicated Warriors motivations[/h2]
Posted by Tim Kawakami on July 7th, 2009 at 7:55 am | Categorized as NBA, Warriors

* 3:49 p.m. update: I forgot to add one interesting note from the same executive. He said that the person hoping hardest for Cohan to sell the Warriors is Commissioner David Stern, who loves and understands the Bay Area market and has quietly (or maybe not so quietly) been hoping for an active Warriors owner to fully embrace and take advantage of the huge NBA audience here.

Also: I've been seeking any kind of comment-or even an official no comment-from a Warriors spokesman on a potential Cohan sale. No response. That's OK. It's not like Cohan is going to tell his employees about his readiness to sell and it's not like he'd want an employee talking to the media about it if he did.

* 11:05 a.m. update: A Chris Cohan vs. the IRS de-briefer, from Mark Fainaru-Wada's story in the Chronicle two years ago. That's a lot of money to be shiedling from the Feds!

First, what I just heard:

Warriors owner Chris Cohan recently engaged in serious discussions with a buyer for the franchise, possibly agreeing in general terms, but talks broke off when the final price couldn't be agreed to, according to an executive with broad ownership contacts.

The executive referred to my blog item last Friday, which reported that Cohan is believed to be ready to consider selling his 80% stake in the franchise.

This executive-who was not a source for the original item-said that it is generally understood in the sports community that Cohan is having "severe financial problems," related to his IRS battle, dwindling ticket revenues and flat local TV and radio payments, and is therefore extremely motivated to sell.

The executive said that he heard Cohan had all but agreed to sell the team to one of the candidates mentioned in the Friday item before the negotiations broke off, but would not say which named candidate was the almost-buyer.

The only two I specifically mentioned as speculated buyers: Oracle billionaire Larry Ellison (serious candidate) and filmmaker George Lucas (semi-serious candidate I threw in there).

Let's see if Ellison's name comes up again, since Oracle already is sinking money into the area, since Ellison has expressed interest in owning a professional franchise, and since he has loads of money.

It is also believed that the four minority owners, who bought a 20% stake in 2004, could emerge as a potential ownership group, but they apparently hold no option on purchasing control. That, and the price tag, is solely up to Cohan.

-OK, how does this relate to the off-on-off-on Amare Stoudemire trade situation?

Cohan's potentially quickening sale desires could change the dynamics of a Stoudemire trade.

Basically, Cohan might have reason to trade for Stoudemire, even if Stoudemire has little interest in signing a long-term extension with the Warriors.

That scenario had generally been considered to be a deal-breaker for the Warriors, as generally discussed by Larry Riley, since it could be devastating to the long-term talent base. But if Cohan needs an instant money boost…

* Adding Stoudemire for the short-term would give the franchise a burst of fan excitement, which might translate to an up-tick in ticket sales, and that is apparently now crucial to Cohan's immediate bottom line.

* Stoudemire, if he's at top form, teamed with Monta Ellis, Anthony Randolph and Stephen Jackson, might even give the Warriors a shot at the playoffs-and home playoff dates are worth about $1M per game. Again, every dollar is crucial to the Cohan financial situation.

Plus, prospective buyers like to take over exciting, entertaining, popular teams.

* If Stoudemire does not sign long-term, he could leave as a free agent next summer, but that might not be a disaster in Cohan's eyes as he readies for sale.

(Though it would be a fiasco for Warriors supporters, since it would mean trading Andris Biedrins, Brandan Wright and Marco Belinelli, possibly and more, for nothing in 2010-2011).

Stoudemire walking away as a free agent would erase enormous money from the payroll-basically, subtracting Biedrins' long-term deal for free, and getting one year of Stoudemire as a bonus.

It would be a major talent loss, but, for Cohan and a potential buyer, it would more importantly clean the books for 2010-'11, when the Warriors would only have a handful of signed players and less than $40M committed.

* Or, Cohan could believe that a new buyer would be so enamored of having Stoudemire that he wouldn't mind Cohan signing him long-term, if Stoudemire would take it.

I asked the executive if a prospective owner would want A) Biedrins, Wright and Belinelli on the roster, but not Stoudemire; B) Stoudemire on the roster, without a long-term deal; or C) Stoudemire on the roster, signed for $20M a year for five years.

The executive said different ownership candidates would choose differently. It's impossible to know which would provide larger value to a potential buyer.

Anybody else think buying a used bed is dirty as hell? dp, I'm not saying you're a dirty person, but just in general. If I'm going to spend 1/3 ofmy life on it, I at least want to lay in my own filth.
