cause resale value on those suck balls and you never know how they run man

Boondock · 07-10-2005, 05:11 PM

as soon as you drive a new car or bike off the lot the value goes down by 20%

true

Jugador · 07-10-2005, 05:13 PM

but the value doesnt drop by half. and i see a lot of bikes on there that have not dropped even near that much in value, its just every now and again i keep finding these ones that nobody in their right mind would sell at that price. must be a scam somehow

Crash · 07-10-2005, 05:14 PM

Spakle · 07-10-2005, 05:14 PM

and you buy the bike and you find out it needs a cam or it's been laid down or some shit....maybe you buy it for 3 grand and it's gonna cost you 1500 to get it oo you and now you are at 4500 and the bike not worth that much..catch my drift?

Jugador · 07-10-2005, 06:53 PM

but its under warranty, like 500 miles, looks immaculate, clean title, i dont see how there could be any problems.

Crash · 07-10-2005, 06:55 PM

if its under warranty then i would check what the specs of the warranty are. Its always a good thing but it can be deceptive too.

^^^thats what it says but that don't mean thats what it is

looks clean from pics and that don't mean shit....maybe it's a great deal but just be careful..you would think with a buy now price of 3 grand if it was really that worth it someone would have bought it. there could eb so many things wrong with the bike it's impossible to tell.

maybe the dude pulled the factory carb off and installed an aftermarket performance carb and fucked something up. maybe it don't run right now....taking off any factory parts would void the warranty.

i'm just saying to make sure you dig deep into it if you're gonna spend that much cake on a bike

Crash · 07-10-2005, 07:06 PM

yeah dude, i sell cars on ebay for my job, and i know that you gotta make these things look superior to anything else out there. shine doesnt mean good

Ta'veren · 07-10-2005, 07:50 PM

on ebay the trick is to buy from the right people. Buy from people that have above 97% positive feedback, and make sure they have at least 500 transactions. Also make sure to check their feedback to see what other people said about them, especially the negative ones.

Ta'veren · 07-10-2005, 07:52 PM

like http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...561337311&rd=1
The guy selling that has 100% positive feedback, and over 1200 feedback left, he is also an ebay powerseller, A very trustworthy seller indeed.

Boondock · 07-10-2005, 08:15 PM

that one seems like a pretty good buy jug even though i don't like those kinds

gilligan · 07-10-2005, 08:17 PM

got room for 1 more if you still want to go to aspen.

Tasha · 07-10-2005, 08:32 PM

I'd never get caught dead on a vespa or some shit like that.

Btw Boon, I checked out that ducati i posed the pic of..

LOOKS FUCKNIG SWEEEEET!

Boondock · 07-10-2005, 08:43 PM

how much tomo?

Jugador · 07-10-2005, 08:57 PM

well i personally enjoy straight line speed and where else could you really get ten second 1/4 mile times for under ten thousand?

(well for a new vehicle anyway...i know it can be done for way less with a resourceful fox mustang owner)

Jugador · 07-10-2005, 09:10 PM

go for it man. you ever ridden before?

Jugador · 07-10-2005, 09:13 PM

no but those 600's are light so it wouldnt be too horrible to maneuver on. im more worried about how to get the money to buy one than how i'll learn to ride it...it would be over a year before i could get one anyway
