Who The F$%^ came up with this retarded $1 a cc?
« on: December 17, 2006, 04:29:46 PM »
This is some stupid crap fed to farmers. Tell me some non-running 440 Kaw is worth $440. NOT ON A BET...............

I had this guy call me with this whole pile of crap for $1200 because it added up to a $1 a cc. Most bikes are worth about $0.10 a cc. That is more like it. He said that he would eGay the #$%*. I told him when he is left with 2,000 lbs of junk he can not sell the I will charge him to remove it.

I have several crap bikes that these fools can buy at their $1 a cc............... like a KZ 750 that is stripped. or that wart of a KZ440 that I wish a bomb would drop on. 8)

I'm with you too cheapo, but here is the catch.  I've got a buddy who sells stuff at the local flea market, his philosophy is that someone will buy it at the price you set it. It might take longer, but SOMEONE is going to pay for it... In my recent experience I bought an 82 DOHC CB750 for 75 bucks. I cleaned up the bike, put absolutely no money into it and put it up on craigslist to test my friends theory. Lo and behold some wisecracker bought the bike from me without haggling for $800 bucks. (within three days) I was shocked to say the least. It was a non-running bike to boot. Hadn't been started or titled (read no title) since the mid 80's. Figure that one out.

That's a total load of crap! I paid 500.00 for my bike...it ran really well, had a few wiring issues, needed tires, but beyond that, just needed cosmetics! I've ridden it for four years as I cleaned it up! If it doesn't run, it really doesn't have any displacement, does it?

I think price is subjective...............

Naturally the rare stuff should bring money like those little guys that most of them have neglected to junk which makes them rare. I call this stupid rare. Because they are made rare by stupidity alone.

But I think this "rule" was made by some bunch of dumb idiots.
