    Free to pick up or just pay shipping. They sent me a pair that has minor scuffs and scratches and then kindly replaced them. So the old ones are available versus recycling them. Would much prefer a local pick up.
    They are the lighter color and I am located in Waukesha County.

    Thought it would be more, able to ship on Tuesday.
    Small piece missing where it inserts into back edge of window, you will never see it.
    I would buy them myself at that price.
    PayPal is, [email protected]

    Thanks. Does the missing piece affect retention in the window channel?

    They are still on the car, just completed an eight hundred mile road trip with speeds approaching eighty MPH, so I would say no issues.

    Aha. I did not understand they were installed. In that case, the question is better phrased will retention be affected once removed and replaced? What actually retains them in the window channel? Thanks.

    There is a thin section of plastic around the whole perimeter that inserts into the window track, therefore tape is not required.
    Off to work now....

    Geez, there are PayPal fees involved. Not looking to profit but want to break even, sound fair?
    Removed and packed them up, will ship tomorrow.

    No problem. How much were the fees?

    Usually PayPal adds 3% if not done as a gift...

    So $0.50 extra is needed to break even right?

    For the love of Pete, you figure it out. I shipped them today, you do what you want.

    I don't know what they skimmed off from the $16 as fees. Would another USD gifted to you close the gap?

    I would have taken them in a heartbeat but was beaten to it. Lol. Very nice of you to donate the $100 product... But to squabble over 50 cents in PayPal fees...

    The only fees PayPal could have taken would be 3% and that's only if you did not send the money as a gift..

    No squabble; I was unaware that fees applied at all, outside of eBay.

    Not you Sir, was referencing the op who donated the parts (as I said, very nice and generous of him) but to come back on and even mention what amounts to 50 cents in fees's was funny is all.

    And just for FYI if you send the money as a "gift" there is no fee BUT you lose the PayPal safety net aka recourse if you get screwed. I think there might not be a fee when using PayPal to a business though. I used it to buy some dog treats on a major website last week and no fees.... Might be only for peer to peer payments.

    Not my place to have an opinion on his thread, but I just though I'd throw that out there.

    Heck I sold a big motorcycle tank and full fender set off a muscle cruiser a few yrs back and totally my fault I included free shipping as an incentive. I barley broke even on the hundreds of dollars of parts that I sold. Shipping was that much. But I ate it and went on with my day. :)

    Despite my attempts of resisting the urge to reply I cannot help myself. So after losing two cents on this transaction I'm going to offer my two cent opinion on this whole matter. Might be Midwestern sensibilities versus Eastern egos I don't know.

    If I was the buyer here is how I would have responded to the thread. Granted I could have been a little more specific in my original post but I think the intent of it is still fairly clear.

    "Hi Dan, I am interested in your offer, I know you would prefer a local transaction but if it doesn't work out please put me on the list".

    Then if it came down to me and I am a PayPal member I would understand the fee structure.

    As to the troll on this thread, apparently you want me to pay for the privilege of giving something away. Wth, it's not the money troll, it's the point of it all. It's called being responsible and showing some initiative to handle things in the proper way. You sir need to learn manners among other things. Your incorrect "facts" and stupid anecdote show your true and idiotic colors on this issue. Why are you here? You add nothing of relevance. Wth, go run up your post count on some other thread and mind your own business.

    For future reference:
    PayPal-Selling is 2.9% + $0.30 per sale for most transactions.
    WeatherTechToyota 2012 Prius v Side Window Deflectors $74.95 shipped.

    Just do us all a favor and let the thread die at this point.

    Dano.....out.
