Another Ebay WOWZER!

Hey I've got 1 of those dual port breathers. I will make someone a deal ......... $100 and it's your. J/K that guy is out of his mind or maybe I am just a cheapskate. :shrug:
 
he maybe trying to recoup costof restoring, and bought nos from dealer.
at least i hope he didnt part out that bike. rediculous.
 
That's nothing compared to a Kawasaki triple spark plugs holder that sold at $195.00 years ago.It was a plastic little case that hold 3 plugs.Plugs where not included.Too much money and a little brain...I guess.Some people would pay $1000.00 for a bucket full of shit.hehe
 
Maybe He's living ten years ago. I was selling used KZ1300 parts then and stuff went absolutely crazy, $250 for a pair of tank emblems with scratches on them. I sometimes ebayed a thousand a week in parts. It died down when the recession hit though. Yes this guy is whacko but XS650 parts ARE going up in value. Especially early parts, I recently saw a rusty drum front wheel assembly go over $300.00. All that said I will give you much better deal on an early top triple. wink! And if you are willing to ship internationally there are markets where this stuff is bringing good money.
The rub for me comes because the bikes become worth more as parts than they are whole. I am doing a couple of restorations and know that the complete bike is worth less than I could part it out for. :shrug: That makes doing all the labor and futsy stuff a lot harder.
 
I've been collecting BSA parts for my '67 A65. They are costing less then XS parts. I bought some Triumph parts as well from a guy who solely sells British parts and they were not much more than the XS parts either.
There was a thread on here more than a year ago with that '58 Enfield, or whatever year, and it had a XS engine. The guy said it was a real, original bike, low miles, ect. By the time he had to take it off, for fausely advertising that is was all original '58 Enfield, it was up to several thousands of dollars and like 20 bids.
And it's true, people set those crazy prices. If sellers know they can get those prices, then they will stay high.
 
I understand that the parts can be worth more than the entire bike, but he's asking almost $11,000 for the parts from 1 bike. This guy is fucking HIIIIIIIGH.

Everyone should do the "question for seller" thing, and ask him what the hell he's smoking.
