Ebay sellers, Clean up your act

[bulldog93]

i got a question, why is this always a hot topic??? there are a few threads that i've seen about ebay and its quite old, everybody on here that are regulars know that ebays **** but most guys don't know about miniriders so we can't tell them that ebay bikes are ****.

also i notice alot of people are sayin us sellers are making big money by upping prices . hmm not true for instence for me to buy a real cnc throttle.(not a cheap copy) it is about 36 bucks posted selling them for 60 with a throttle cable (5 bucks) =41 bucks postage 5 ebay fees 3.50 leaves bout 10 bucks profit. not alot for the effort you gotta put in.

yer i understand how pissed off you get. (been there, done that) but it still seems directed to everyone selling. it might just be the way i see it. ahwell

Dreaful:

yeah i know about everyone coming on here to ask us about there first bike because everybody gets in there and tells them even me as for when they break down well all bikes brake no matter what these just brake more often, yet again every body gets in and helps and it IS our duty as a member of the minibike community to help those get decent bikes but to thoughs that get on here and ask most of them may start off looking at atomik but will leave with a pitpro or MSO and to be thats a big jump in quilty may not be the best quilty but still good enogh that it won't brack down every ride, but in saying this we can't help those that don't take the time to reseach and ask us.

Sorry ya feel that way Matty, but if I meant everyone selling on ebay I would certainly not have written

"there are a few decent ebay dealers this is not directed at them " in double size font

... honestly I was not talking about parts dealers ... you were not importing container loads of crap bikes , destroying the industry and buying porches with your R@DMONEY last time I checked mate ...you should hate em more than me ...you share a shopfront with em ..... and because of this they are doing more damage to your rep than I ever could mate ....and that's what the "ya lay down with dogs ya wake up with fleas " comment was about .... And yes I know it's the only option available to you

If you really feel hard done by I'll print ya nod in the next issue ...because even if you don't know it I'm actually on your side mate

Bulldog

like I said we win some we lose some ....we can only do what we can ....and words are our only weapon at this point

personally I think I could do alot more in 10 minutes with a flamethrower but ya do what ya can do

personally when it comes to the crunch

the awesome public compound that could be set up and run for the money of one of those Porsche's would inject a huge amount of people into the sport in victoria

which in turn because of the high level of competition created it would create higher demand for better bikes no matter who makes em

but none of those people (flea bay sellers) have any intention of supporting us or you.

these are the people that have bastardized the sport and there product to line there own pockets.
matty you support the sport and are trying hard like others to make money from it. the locals that don't support you and buy crap off the flea bay devils are as bad as them

i spose this is a social issue tailored around every industry in the whole country tell me how many companies support local business before going to china for cheap **** not to many that i see take the car industry for example

hmm maybe our sport is as doomed as the car industry is in Australia



hopefully not
