don't answer that.:O Anyway, A buddy of mind ran across couple of old motorcycles. Guy was moving and had them for several years with the intent of putting them together as a project but never got around to it. They were mostly junk. Anyway he gave them to us if we would just haul them off. We started parting them out and putting them on ebay. Needless to say, I am vary surprised
parts are selling very well. The interesting part was I started out just selling to USA and Canada. things were very slow. I changed it to worldwide and things started popping. People in Europe must have a lot of money. they will pay 5 bucks for a part and 75 to 140 bucks to ship it. Amazing.. of course with the euro vs the dollar i guess they are getting the bargain.

I got parts now listed and bid on to the following countrys, Sweden, France, Netherlands, United Kingdom, Australia. Anyway interesting dealing with these folks, they do send strange emails:eek:

People pay alot of money for shipping on cheap stuff on auction sites, I bought a computer case that nobody bid on, one that I was going to modify anyways for $5.

Shipping was around $15-20 as I recall, and being around 9/11 it took weeks for it to arrive since the anthrx scare took place.

Well, We jumped in with both feet today. I was emailed a message from a guy who had a friend in Ponca City who built drag bikes from the ones we are selling. long story short he was wanting to sell everything he had. We ended up buying it all... I hope we make this work, we got some bucks tied up into it now, So we have to make it work.

I guess now we have to start a company, and all the BS...
