 It says the store may be on and off for a while. Apparently, they are learning the business.

Hi!
This is JT’s daughter. Just wanted to say thank you to everyone for all the kind words about my dad. He was a wonderful selfless man and we miss him very much. I apologize that the eBay store has been a mess. I’m working on it but it is hard without my dad/encyclopedia. His parts were one of his greatest treasures so no I have not sold them on Craigslist. I’m going to try my best with his store. If you need a particular part you can email me at dacarneyfam@gmail.com or his old email but I don’t check that everyday. I’m not selling exhausts at the moment though. It’s also best if you know the part number. I can look parts up but I have little kids and my time is limited.
Thanks,
Andi

Andi..... Sincerest best wishes for you and your Family. We all miss your Dad! Never met him, but I dealt with him many times. True gentleman. Look forward to meeting with you “in the store”. Take your time and be well! John DeMaria (in Canada).

I'm sorry you lost him, Andi. He was a terrific guy, and fun to work with. Such a great legacy he has!
I'll be ordering parts, too: I'm seldom in a hurry, and he seemed to always be able to find what I/we need.

Andi,

I spoke with your dad a few weeks before he passed away. He was still working on getting orders out the door despite his health. I'm really glad I reached out. Your Dad is a legend in our community. I have yet to meet a CB750 enthusiast who didn't know of him or had built a bike with his parts. We all wish you and your family the very best. You'll get lots of support from us here!

Andi, so sorry for your loss, my condolences for what your family has gone through.
If you need assistance identifying anything feel free to post pics and ask for assistance.

Guys, we should give her a run down of years and the center numbers that identify the bike model/models.
Give her some links to places that do cross-reference lists to help her ID the parts.

I would recommend you build a spreadsheet in Excel or in Apple's spreadsheet program or Linux if you are a Linux user. Then populate  the description with your html coding if you are uploading coded text, or the like so when you acquire more, unless you intend to justt sell what remains.
The resources your Dad had to find things and then offer them for  sale was incredible!  I'm sure many of us would love to see you continue with his business if you can manage to juggle things.

Building an excel or other spreadsheet you can populate fiels for all the listing things you can do copy and paste for the items. It will save you time in the long run if you aren't using a eBay store software package that does it even better and takes it well beyond that...

Thank you very much for stopping in...

the Open Forum area has a humor thread, you might enjoy some of the things there as some funny stuff does get posted.

Andi:
Would it help you out in finding the parts if we send the part numbers to you? I don't know how he had things organized.
Typical partnumber: NNNNN-NNN-NNN
Honda's partnumber start with 5 digits that classify the area of the bike where it was used, then the 3 middle digits that identify the model of the bike, and the last 3 digits indicate the vendor that Honda got them from, so those last 3 are often very different from a number that we might request - but the part is still valid, nontheless.

Let us know if we can help! :)
