Where have all the 'good' parts gone??

<< < (4/6) > >>

That Swan Guy:
Try and find a NOS one of these!

southern andy:
Most of the good parts have been put at the back of room 101.


Seriously though, i reckon they're all on completes now and locked away. I've got rid of most of my spares and i have got another F+F set coming.  :-\ Christ knows what i'm gonna do.

Phuck all is coming up for sale on here, nothing i need anyhow. Ebay is the only place i look.

meticulous:
Another reason is that people wont pay the going rate for mint rare parts and would sooner pay £20 or £30 less for something that needs restoring :uglystupid2:,
 Loads of times I've replied to peoples 'wanted ' ads',  with there illusive part they have been looking for,  only to be asked for 5 more close up pictures from every angle,  after responding to there requests it either goes all silent with no return pm (which really p1sses me off),  or I get told they are skint and only have £50 less for the item, its for this reason I don't bother replying to peoples wanted ads'.  :-\
Nearly all of us try to chip a few quid when replying to 'for sale' threads,  certainly if the sale has been going on for a few days with no takers,   so unless I don't really care much for the part I would sooner hang on to it and keep it.




prime example is 'sCotty' here....

now offering 60% less is taking the p1ss, then after being told the 'minimum' price the seller will accept,  still makes another offer LESS!

I know what your saying guys but I like to build bikes and ride them when I am done, purely to get a feel of a bike I wasn't able to own back then. Once I have done this and it if doesn't suit me, I will break it down and move it on, selling the parts for what I paid, or as close to.

I feel you there though Chris about some wanting to pay Burner prices for high end parts. I don't mind paying the money as long as I don't get raped trying to move it on when I no longer need it, which happens in a lot of cases.

I can't believe we have exhausted the parts availability though, have we  ???  but I do know that to pry the parts off people is costing a pretty penny these days  :D

Taipan:
Have you tried FB?  ::)
