Title: Clymer repair manual for GS500 1989-2002 for FREE
Post by: ineedanap on May 08, 2009, 10:44:59 AM
I have a Clymer repair manual for the E bikes.  I'm sure it will work fine for F bikes too since they're basically the same.  It's in good shape, a little dirty but fine.  I don't need it anymore since I have a Genuine Suzuki repair manual too.  By now you guys and girls know the routine.  Give me a good reason why I should give it to you and you can have it for free.  If it's sad enough I'll even pay shipping.  I'm confident that the neediest person has gotten each part I've given away in the past, but to ensure that happens again there are a few rules.

1.  You must post your reason IN THE THREAD.  Please don't PM me.  This only works if the other people involved can see your reason.  That way everyone is a judge. 

2.  All responses must be posted by 9pm tomorrow (Saturday).  Judging will be at 9:01pm.

3.  If you don't NEED it, don't take it.  Just because we're all capitalist pigs doesn't mean we have to act like it. 

4.  If you have gotten anything free from me in the past you're automatically disqualified...unless you have a REALLY REALLY good excuse. 

Thanks and good luck.  May the neediest person win!!!!!!

I tried to use humor last time, but now it has been explicitly stated that the story must show dire need, and even be "sad" for free shipping.

I don't know about other people on here, but I'm not a fan making a sob story out of myself. Maybe that's why there's no replies.

Good point.  Maybe I sounded too firm. 

The problem was last time I had people pm'ing me expecting to just give them stuff like I owed it to them.  When I asked why they would respond with things like "I don't need it now, but might need it in the future" or "I have one, but yours looks nicer" or "I need one for both of my bikes" and those were just a few.  Why would I want to give something away if that is the best reason?

Sounds like I need to rethink this.  Do you have a better way to give things away?  I'm open for suggestions.

Maybe just word it as explain why you need it and not why you want it.

Witek is the winner.  I'll cover shipping too.  Send me a pm with where you want it sent.

Ahhh,

Looks like I'm too late that sucks majorly I was in the hospital! Does that count. They took all my money and I wanna work on my boy but know enough to get me in trouble without the manual.

I've even given stuff to people for free here too!

Please oh pretty please!

That sounds so sad Mary that I'll order you a new one from this forum---and pay for the shipping----I'm serious, but only if you stop crying, I can't stand to see a girl cry.
