not sure where i should have put this. was going to put it in the lounge but it DOES have something to do with motorcycles, and i didnt want anyone to waste their time looking at this in the classifieds when they are probably looking for something that they would actually buy...

[Jawknee21]

Apparently every little part is worth 33 plus 11.50 for shipping! But if he's staying in business, good for him I guess!

 

[Jawknee21]

He does combine shipping though. Maybe $1 off? haha!

$50 frame thats been on ebay for years... only $65 shipping too!

 

[Travis]

Haha.. that frame is awesome. He probably sold the neck and title for $150 and now wants $50 for what's left!

The REAL funny thing is I have cut and sold the strangest parts of frames XS650 and others. I shipped the bottom of a KZ1300 frame to England, the guy said it was cheaper and easier than building an engine stand. Several other pieces of that frame were cut off and shipped around the country. Just today I whacked up an already severely wacked XS650 frame and made a tank holding stand out of the top section. Part of that frame had been cut off and mailed to a forum member.

Mrmonkeyclaw isn't always out of line, I have bought parts from him.

There's a sucker born every minute. Apparently some of these sellers are willing to wait long enough for these newborn suckers to get old enough to qualify for a Paypal account, lol. I've seen things listed (and relisted) for years now, still not selling.

How so? I bet he makes a good income, plus virtually all of his customers are happy.

exactly. I've bought from him before. The fulfillment aspect of parting bikes is the biggest PITA in my opinion. Stripping them down is easy.

I think his business is far less risky (or full of liability) than say, restoring old bikes to sell. I recently decided I won't sell a bike to anyone I don't already know.... just too much bullshit involved.
