I ordered a set of brake hoses from Earl on Ebay. I noticed that he has a 100% rating. Between Jimmy Hoffa or whatever name Paulie is using these days, and Ibby?, I would have thought he would have had more like a 99.9% :icon_lol: :icon_lol: :icon_lol: :rock:
-
So you're the reason I have to get out of my heated bed before 2:30 when my mail chick stops by the house.
..and yep, 100 even. Once you hit 99.9 you can never get that 100 back. ..and that's from Jan of '99. My eBay account will be old enough to buy beer in a couple months. lol
-
got my brake lines from Earl. He did not allow me to leave feedback....I guess he's nervous LOL
-
Ebay won't let you leave feedback?
That might explain why I only get 6 or 8 per month.
-
Nope, it had no feedback button for me.
-
I suck at Ebay, How do we find Earls stuff there?

Thank you Sir.

Earl needs some 2 stroke parts on there, specifically some RZ350 stuff! :icon_smile:

Earl did not adopt you! STFU and let him take care of his own business!
-
shipping is a bit steep Earl ... LOL

What the hell?!?!?!?! Ebay has lost there damn mind lately. I sold a 15# vacuum brake conversion kit and noticed one day, they chanced it to a small flat rate box. Actual postage cost me something like $40 and I got to collect $6 (that ebay keeps 10%).
Those rocker buttons are supposed to be $4.50 shipping no matter what the quantity and that's what it shows on my end. Ebay knows what they weight and they looks to be gouging the crap out of international buyers.
That ended today though. I fired paypal for their stupid ass ''we keep the 3% when you give refunds'' policy. When eBay collects the money, they kill off global shipping.
I had two people 'rent' vac brake conversions kits from me back to back, and it turns out the CSRs say it point blank cannot be refunded... a manager can do it in about 5 seconds (after you jump through all the BS to get one on the phone without 'getting cut off').
They've lost their mind if they think I'm going to pay them over $20 just to kick me when I'm down. ESP when my kits come back missing parts.
I'm about ready to fire eBay to. I dig helping people out and seeing stuff I built on peoples cars, but I'm about tired of paying for it. I need to get off my ass and teachmyself how to build earlbrownracin g.com and be done with all of them.

I still have a few boxes of YSR50 wheel bearings laying around. I wish I could find an old auction and relist them. It was a pretty good racket considering most people don't realize that bearings are just bearings. Back then I used to sell stuff just for fun to turn the goofy stuff I bought into a wash. That was way back in the day when listing stuff took about 2 minutes and everything was an auction, instead of buy-it-now's. Ebay was a treasure hunt for oddball stuff.
I've never owned the first RZ part. Actually, I've never been a big fan of them. Especially after seat time on my TZ250. RZ's like that certain 'something'.... like a power wheelie in the middle of 3rd.
and the ability to hoist the rear wheel in the air at over 100. :D

My 19 (at the time) yr. old Daughter did my website using WIX, pretty cheap and have never had a problem.

Shopify wasn't too popular when they cut off all the gun shops, made them scramble to rebuild.
-
And just who is the nutbar that buys this way?
-
Typo and they meant 4?
-
Good god. I'm guessing it's the free shipping (and the exchange rate) that kills it.
I'm pretty sure that's a $100 tire here.

I'll bet Jeremy could whip up a good site for you. Hell, you can use my server..
-
damn sites are getting expensive. Geek ghost wants $75 now because the cost of their software is going up and that is supposedly after a 30% loyalty discount LOL
-
$75 per year? That's abit more than I pay.. I am sure we could squeeze your content onto this server. PM me if interested..
-
Throw some porn ads on your site Steve. That might offset the costs a little. :D

Earl are you offering Steve the rights to your old movies? :player:
-
I don't own the rights to the pro stuff.
I do own the rights to all the stuff that's in the USB drive in the side of my ROKU box. :D

The torque and weight makes the RZ350's fun to ride. When I lived way up north I remember when I first uncrated my 85. I couldn't insure it because they didn't send the TOD. We put the bike on a buddy's truck and took it out of town to ride. It pulled the tires off the ground in the first three gears. In third it was maybe 1" off the ground but still cool. The speedo's weren't that accurate so I had a few buddy's clock me in their vehicles. On a cool day it would do 126mph, 120-122mph on a hot day.
I get lots of looks riding the RZ. I had to laugh, I went for a spin with a buddy from work and we stopped for a bite, when I fired the bike up the Harley guys were looking wondering what the hell that sound was! :)
