Classifieds- How far is too far

[lovemylegacy]

When looking at buying in the classifieds how far is too far before you decide not to buy something?

I don't even like driving but everything I like to do is few hours away from me. Takes almost 3 hours to go hunt, 3 hours to the coast, etc..

About 5-6 hours...or depending on the value of the item being purchased

Many times more than my normal route is too far. Buying or selling I typically figure in at least $50, whether it is in insurance or fuel. I don't sell much anymore but do have a few guns coming up soon for tbh express or FTF on my weekly sales route.

Wish you were closer, free bump

If it isn’t easy then it’s too far for me. But I’ve done half a dozen TBH expresses for others so hope that one day when I need it the favor will be returned

It's tough. It seems that only people in Lubbock or Amarillo have things I want or need.

That’s funny. I have the same luck with things I want being around Houston.

Depends on the deal. I drove 16 hours (round trip) to pick up a smoker last year. It was a smokin’ deal[emoji6]

Time is $ right. Unless I'm headed that way it has to be a good enough deal to make it worth the drive.
If I value my time at x amount an HR then that trip better save me that much plus fuel less than I can buy from someone else.

I've driven 4 hours for a deal hen saw stuff I wanted but wouldn't drive other side of Houston because it wasn't worth an HR each way I would have bought if he lived in Tomball etc

Must have missed economics 101 at PSHS? That and freshman English (sailing?)

I didn't take those classes. I took the important ones like machine shop, lunch and typing.

No way in hell.... next in line or the buyer can arrange a more favorable TBH express.....or I'll just keep it.

The drop off point got changed after I had already left the house. To top it off, my wife and granddaughter wanted to stop and get something to eat. So I pretty much went negative on the transaction.

if its a good deal to me, distance is a non issue! I'm always up for a road trip!

Drove 8 hr to pick up Chews henway . Couldn’t pass that deal up
