RS and returned shit

Stopped by my old Radio Shack today and was just shooting the shit. Then asked em if they had any Zip Zaps returned. They laughed, grabbed behind the counter and poured out a RS bag full of not only SEs, but MTs as well. Approx 9 in total at this low traffic Radio Shacks. Asked how much for them and was qoted $16 for all of em. Asked if I could grab half for $7 and they said sure. 8-) So I nabbed a Big Foot and Hummer MT, corvette, mustang and the umm, yeah, ford gahh all I can think is f150, but I mean the remodeled concept car :x SEs. Any how, 5 cars in all for $7!

Took em home and already fixed up the Big foot MT, the rest will either be salvaged or used for parts, but fuck the one MT was worth it alone.

Point is, now that christmas is over, RS is flooded w/ 8-12 year olds breaking or trying to put together Zips incorrectly then returning them. I am gonna hit the other local RS tomorrow and see what else I can dig up and I would suggest that to all the pimps! Granted I had a little insiders edge, but I know you all know someone from your local RS by name, Shmoooooze!!!!!!! See what you can get. At the very leaste we are talking about cheep SE batteries and shells.

Oh, same goes for Xmods, BIG TIME! Just not as cheep as $7 for 5 :cool:

Like I said, you need to shmooze. It is RS policy that all x-mods and zips are actually destroyed once returned. Course many stores can't bring themselfs to doing such and will sell em off at any price they can get. So don't just go there and be like, "hey mister, do you have any broken zips you can sell me?" You need to play it smart and smooth. As for why I only got half, well honestly I didn't want the others cuz I already had em, and unlike some pimps her I don't stock pile. Ask Hiroto, that RSX he just got was a broken X-mod, got it for $20 and all it took was some minor rewiring. C'mon guys if this turns out to be a "ask for me" kind of thread then I must say get some Fucking Balls.

Did you not read my post? It is policy that they can't sell them. It is up to you to find a way around that policy....... Let me guess, you are under 18 correct?

I've been going to the same RS for quite awhile now, because the others just had asses for MGR's. So I started going to this one RS thats a bit out of the way, but the people there take care of me.

When something comes in thats new for Xmods, or ZZ's, they give me a call on my cell phone to let me know. Alot of times, I get the call before they unpack it. I've gotten to the store and the stuff they told me about was still in the shipping box.

Well, anyway....This RS saves the returns for me and I go pick them up about every other week or so, on the CHEAP.

Today I picked up 3 SE's, 1 MT, 2 ZZ's, 2 Xmods, 1 Stage 2 motor upgrade, and 1 Command logic light set for $35 bills!!!!

I have several rides now!!!

I threw off a BP Poster to each of the stores employee's (5), that I deal with most of the time, for X-mas. They couldn't put it up in the store because of the big titty with BitPimps written on it, but they each took it home and said they put it up somewhere.

I find that if you take care of them and show a little loyalty to the store, they will take care of you in return.

I'm also in pretty good with the store thats just up the road from this one and they just drop off the returns at the other store to save me a trip.

I would have shared this earlier, but I'm just plain braindead sometimes.


So go take care of you RS MGR's that are cool and they'll take care of you. (If I didn't get to them first. :innocent:)
