Not all bad down here m8, I think there scum all over the world really. Some northen guy on face book looking for an end for his Fire blade, he posted on someone selling his bike to sell the end can to him.
I had one sitting in my shed cost new ÂŁ329, to him cost ÂŁ12.49 the cost of parcal force to send.
And he sending me a cheque so I've had no payment as yet, fingers crossed a Southern make a norther a very happy little man.
As for Ebay it's good but a crazy thing, I sold a front mud guard on there for ÂŁ80.
It was worth ÂŁ190 to buy new, rear hugger went for ÂŁ120 that was worth new ÂŁ90?
My first Ebay sell going back over 10 years ago, I had a TZR125 I just needed to get rid off.
So wife like sell it on ebay ok I said you sort it as I not really have a clue what ebay was.
She asked me a few questions last one was what the lowest your take for it.
She went on saying well there bid for it the lower the min the more bids your take for it.
So I said ok set it to ÂŁ50 then, I mean I just wanted gone but it was all worth over ÂŁ2,000.
She only set the buy it now price as ÂŁ50 it sold in like 3 seconds of going on ebay, it was worth around ÂŁ1500 easy.
Never mind the 2 engines set of front forks loads of other stuff.
The guys who picked up were well happy, full running TZR125 even with full wiring lom to make the power vale work.
And a full lom to set it back, dam forks where worth more than ÂŁ50.
She not been head of putting anything of mine on ebay again and I have 100% feed back on there.
Really need to beware out there all some people are just scum.
One of my m8s took his 2010 blade to a place run by a man who worked on and with Barry Shine.
Think the place really only used his name, his Blade just lost a little oil and he was worried about it.
They told him the engine was whacked but I work with this guy.
So I got the story on what was what, I told him 2008 blades all burn there oil and then I went with him to get his bike.
Or see my it whacked...
Only to see one of them had a dead 2009 blade track bike, we just got his bike and told them to 🤬 off.
They not even looked at his bike and the guy said he phoned up the wrong guy, yeah as if lol.
There is some really nice people around and then there some bad ones.
I'm liked from Scotland to Brighton as I help run a fireblade forum or two, bikers helping bikers well we try.
And your not belive how many times we been messed about and out of pocket trying to help out some Northers.
Will agree there more Scum down south but we not all scum, there a few ok ones down here thank you
