Old Tanks and some krinkled
« on: July 05, 2009, 07:40:03 PM »
Here is some crap my friend thinks is worth something just because they have never been used and the ones that have have funny wrinkles in them. Says they are K0-k1  -SEND THEM TO THE SHREDDER. What do you think. Also says he has a Sandcast??

I hope you were kidding when you said "send them to the shredder" !!  Advertise them on here and they will go like hot cakes.

Why would you not sell them on this forum, i have seen tanks way worse than this restored to there former beauty.  Doesn't sound to me that you want to sell them which i also think is ridiculous. Put them in the classified section, there's a few guys here that need them straight away. That surface rust that you have shown in that pic is only a minor fix.
If i was in the US i would buy the whole lot.

Rust: coat or clean
Wrinkles: repaint or live with it

In Australia we have a couple of companies that fill backloads and half empty loads going interstate. I just got a quote to send a set of cerriani forks to Terry in Melbourne, about 2000 miles, and it was only $26 dollars Aus. Do you guys have anything like that in the US.?

LOL, nice job of yanking our collective chains.

I sold my K0 wirnkle tank that was bashed and needed paint for $600 the unmarked pipes went for $1300.

The guy (if real) has a nice little treasure pile in that dusty shop...

They are out there though. I just got a Yoshima Pipe and a Hayashi mags for less than I have paid for a seat in the past.  = )

Good luck all!
