If people are stupid enough to buy used cases for more than new cost, then you kind of deserve it :/
But, then again, where are you buying new parts from? Most parts sites list them around 300 bucks a side. after shipping, it would be close to his BIN, although I agree used parts shouldnt come close to a new part in a price, I guess if some moron is willing to pay :/

Natural selection favors Smart people, so nature selects morons to be slow and dumb for tigers and stuff too eat. But in our modern world there just aren't enough tigers.

$273 a piece. They may not know how to build an AF very well but damn that price is good. Even with shipping which this guy is charging 17 bucks for its still cheaper to get new. Those are in good shape at least they appear to be but they should go for alot less. No bids yet thank god. Just saying pieces of shit like that really piss me off.NightBiker07 wrote:If people are stupid enough to buy used cases for more than new cost, then you kind of deserve it :/

Even a scumbag knows it's not smart to rip off hoons but obviously he has no problems ripping everyone else off. It pisses me off that this guy is in my general area. Mik did you grow up in San Diego. Im just saying im over these fuckers stripping down good bikes and charging waaayyyy to much. Glad im on this site and know what things should really cost.gregrobo wrote:i bought a shock and linkage dude looked after me cheap and fast

Exactly what im saying the cr500 parts world used to be enthusiasts swapping parts to keep there bikes running and now its so called professional bike strippers that are trying to make money off motorcycles. Its going to come to a point where its going to be to much money to get parts to keep our bikes going. Roosty i have $60 can i have one of those trannys.Roostius_Maximus wrote:i just looked back in my books and in 2007-2008 i bought 7 transmissions from ebay, all 1993+, I didn't pay more than 60$ for any of them.

Yeah and i used to be able to buy 1c lollies as a kid, times change.....move on. I totally agree with you about stripping running bikes for parts but the reality is parts are worth more than whole bikes to guys who dabble in this stuff. I always check new part price first when chasing bits and make a call from there, sometimes its better new other times not and thats where you pay the going rate.freeride588 wrote:Exactly what im saying the cr500 parts world used to be enthusiasts swapping parts to keep there bikes running and now its so called professional bike strippers that are trying to make money off motorcycles.

Hey it's just how it is. If you don't like his price...don't buy it, so simple. As far as stripping bikes goes thats also just how it is. Over on the other site the Sinister racing Dude was looking for like 1400 for his really nice Steely. I told him dude part it out you will get more than that. My buddy bought his GPR set up for $300, I bought his rims for $300, someone bought his motor for like $1200 he was $400 ahead before he even got going. Nobody offered him shit for the whole thing.
