![]() I hate all of you for your great finds!!!! Bastards, all of you! :wink: I feel so fortunate.ĭoes it count if my name was Craig and I had a tool bag with a black ski-mask? I found a set of beautiful Yakima racks (bars, locking towers, clam-style clamps for skis and snowboards with keys and extra keys for both sets of locks). Last week, at my work's fall sports swap cleanup. He said "25 bucks." :shock: :shock: Needless to say, we now own the box. Assuming it was more than we wanted to spend, we asked anyway. He gave it to us for free!Īs we were standing there, we noticed a very nice Yakima roof top carrier (long wide style). We are very much "bike people" and my wife's eye was caught by a rusty old cruiser. He still hadn't got to the point of putting signs on anything. Not to overshadow your glory hiram6 BUT, check out this story.Ībout a month ago, my wife, kids, and I were riding bikes to the hardware store when we passed by a guy setting some stuff out in his yard with for sale signs. I got $250 for mine last year (too long for what I needed anymore). Still, $75 for a rocketbox less keys is a smokin deal. That was nice but Bender's Big Score was the Land Rover Tent that attaches to the rear of the Vehicle, or my Syncro for that matter for $150, new still in the box. I got the Land Rover labeled Thule box for a couple of hundred. I think it is the season of Craiglslist scores. Sold the rack bits for $100 the following weekend. I bought a rocketbox on CL this summer that came with Qtowers and bars for $200. Perfect, and for a grand total investment of $79. I've already test fit it on the Thule bars my Westy (look's great, but I'll need a ladder) and on the Yakima bars on my Passat Wagon. He had the misconception that it was going to take an intervention by a locksmith and many many dollars to get the box open and re-keyed.Īctually all it it takes is a call to Yakima with the lock code (4 numbers printed on the lock) and a credit card for a $4 fee, and a new set of keys showed up in my mailbox yesterday. I practically broke the sound barrier to get there and hand him $75 bucks for it. Seller didn't want the hassle of fixing it, and just "want(ed) the damn thing out of my garage". I called up the seller, he said the damage consisted of.a lost key for the lock. Posting appeared a few days ago for a "damaged" Yakima Rocketbox for $75, not too far away. I had been watching the craigslist postings off and on for a while now trying to catch either a Thule or a Yakima cargobox with a good price. Just had to brag about my CL score last week.
