easy there, I'm not the only one to do a double take at his price. we saw "I bought it for $175" we saw "I crashed with it" and we saw "I'm selling it for $175". as Just_Nick said, you crashed it, its in worse condition. even if you repair it and gold plate the damn thing, as far as pricing goes, its still considered worse condition than before. Its a bold move to try and sell it for what you bought it for. I'm not saying he's trying to scam anybody, and the part may very well be fine. but even undamaged parts don't sell for what you bought them for all the time, even among us. so why would a crashed part (I know its been repaired)warrant the previously bought price? either way, its not the first time someone has questioned the prices in this section. there is nothing wrong with questioning a price if things don't add up. He gave his explanation, and I believe him that the part is worth $175. but I still think I was justified in wanting some explanation. oh and being honest about parts history shouldn't earn you "applause". at least here, its expected. what kind of dick would be dishonest to fellow forum members? that's MY 2 cents

wow... there are some pretty thick skulls around here... hope you guy's remember this stuff when you go to sell anything... if you wanna have a damn depreciation value discussion, i'm sure there are TONS of car dealers out there that really are upselling you could go harass.

I guess next time instead of offering something up for sale on here with a honest description and price, i should just post it on ebay so that more than likely someone who is probably even a member on here could pay more for it without knowing the history?

There is a pending sale on it...

So you guy's can quit crying over it now.

joshuatest

wow... some people just want to flaunt there simple minds huh...

first off... you did a good job of showing everyone that even though i gave a good detail of the history, you only read the purchase price, the crash part, and the selling price..

and apparently you and Just Nick completely missed the fact that it was purchased used on this website.

It was painted red at one point before i got it, as i discovered when prepping to paint it. I had to do some minor repair work when i got it at my fair cost, did some more minor repair work after the very small chips it got when I went down. so in all honesty... even if it where broken in two pieces... how exactly do you figure it is now in worse condition that when it was purchased? i mean seriously? i very well could have purchased it in 4 pieces...

point is still... if your not interested, then don't buy it... But this is a online forum for people who ride the same bikes. The site is here to offer help... And as a perk, it gives a common meeting ground to sell and trade with other superhawk owners. instead of using ebay and getting as much as you can, you have the option to state a willing to sell price, and if someone feels its worth that to them, they can buy without having to play bidding wars with other buyers like they would on ebay and other auction sites.

however.. you and others, who apparently had no interest in the fairing decided you would try and degrade the integrity of the seller and the product being sold. and without good reasoning... yes, i said it was crashed with, but i also said it was purchased used. so you are comparing its condition after the crash to an imaginary condition that you believe it would have been in when i purchased it...

So anyway.... thanks to asshats like yourself. once my RC51 fairing swap is done, I probably won't bother wasting time listing my stock fairings here, If i'm gonna be made out to be a ****, i might as well milk it on ebay....

all the other members on the site can thank people like you for helping keep the deals out of the SuperHawkForum classifieds, and putting them in auctions elsewhere.

Hey bro stay strong, don't forget me on that swap info. You could always do what i do in cases like these, i've been known to destroy the product in front of hagglers faces. You stated that you were willing to negotiate on the price. What else really needs to be said. It's real simple when you see an add in the paper and its over priced, do you write the guy a letter telling him that! you say to yourself too high for me and drive on. If i had the extra money i would buy it from you just to dixie stomp on it!!! Cheers brother!!!

swordfish

"simple minds" huh? "asshat"? what are you? six? look, I stated that you were right. I said I believed the part was worth what you said it was. nobody was trying to degrade your integrity. Although I gotta say, your little tantrum makes me wonder why so defensive? and sorry but I think its a safe assumption that a crashed piece was in better shape before the crash. call me crazy. I will try to cope without having your used broken then fixed stuff to buy. if this guy's hyssie fit persists, then I apologize to the other forum members for "keeping the deals out of the SuperHawkForum classifieds".lol

joshuatest

you are seriously an idiot...

Its not about you not having my broken stuff to buy... Its about you not even being interested in it, but wanting to step in and degrade it. you didn't just question the condition, you assumed it and then went with your assumption.

I posted it here with a fair price and am including shipping. By fair... I mean a quality product, in used condition, with a very honest description. I checked what others where selling them for on here (i believe the last one I saw was 200 plus shipping in a long list of other items for sale) and on ebay they are $175 plus shipping for a very thin fiberglass generic model.

So thank you for your attempt to complicate things... The fairing is sold.

Mod's... feel free to close the thread, and hell.. you could even ban me for flaming this idiot.

Hey-

How are those 15/43 sprockets workin out for you?
How bout the turbo(Yikes!)?

Pat-newbie to the forum-just purchased an 02 Hawk Yesterday

joshuatest

No turbo... lol Just one of those things I snuck into my sig to see who all would catch it.

The 15/43 was a little much for me. I live out in the country and do about 15+ miles interstate riding to/from work when i ride. Plus like doing 100-200 mile rides on a regular basis. I originally went -1 front, liked it but added +2 and while it was fun, it took the front back to stock.

At a recent tire change to 2CT's front/rear i went back stock... I liked the interstate riding more, but coming off of a +2 rear, it just lacked the extra grunt that I had grown to like. So i quickly went back to a +2 rear.

I debated leaving rear stock and just swapping front in/out when i'm going on long rides, but its not all that much more easy to do front than rear. Since you have to loosen chain up to swap them anyway, might as well just pull rear wheel and swap rears..

I think the 15/43 with a 520 conversion would be better. (at least that's what i hear)

I don't think I've ever seen someone get their ***** busted so much trying to sell something. It's a fair price. He said it was chipped not smashed. Shipping alone probably would cost at least $30. Seriously just put the damn thing on ebay and save yourself the trouble...I'm sure someone will be more than happy to give you at least $150 for it plus the shipping.

joshuatest

Thanks man... Its sold... but its just a PITA to have to deal with this much BS to try and sell something.

swordfish

ok, I'll try again,


can you read? quit stomping our feet and open your damn eyes. you officially no longer have any reason to bitch. I don't get you. I responded acknowledging your position, and you come back with insults. I responded again, still agreeing with you, and you come back with more insults. after you explained why the part was worth your stated price, I believed you. I said that. I just wanted you to understand what things looked like from an outside perspective. but you didn't get it. so I've come to the conclusion that you are incapable comprehending anything past the first post I wrote. (where I asked if you were being optimistic) because regardless of what I said in the following posts, you still seemed to repeat your grievances about the first one. so I'm done trying to talk to you like an adult. throw some more insults. I'm sure you won't understand what I've written anyway.

and captainchaos, what the hell man? I'm surprised at you. who's been throwing the insults around? the most ballbusting I did was ask if he wasn't being optimistic. thats it. after that, it was clarifying why I felt ASKING was justified, and ultimately coming to AGREE with him about the price being fair. I don't know how many times I have to repeat myself. this whole thing should have been over after my second post. take a good look at what I wrote, you'll see that the only reason it seems like he's getting his ***** busted, is because he won't stop bitching. about a non-issue.
