[Bryan Raffa]

Yes lost his mind...lol wow

[captainweezy]

Looks like he just gave feebay free money. Thats not moving. Maybe in another 15 years but not in this economy. Im not saying its not nice though.

[atc007]

I think the value is in the $10 fork boots and the Maier plastic :)

[3wheeled roofer]

There is some serious drug use going on the other side of the states. First $5000 for a ford blue honda 250r and now this? Wow if I ever do make it to trikefest I wanna try some of dat so I can see how much is to much for my trike.......Its got alot of experience...lol no offense to you guys out there just crazie what a few thousand miles will do to the price of trikes. Ol canada josh says this stuff is happening up above the border also. go figure??????????

[dougspcs]

Nice?? yes..

Crazy?? On YEAH!!

[Big Mike]

restoration?!?!? there's so many aftermarket parts on that, that I would hardly call it a restoration. Rebuild yes, restoration no. This guy must have lost his shirt in labor costs, that's why he is asking that obscene amount of money

[BigRedRider85]

I agree Big Mike

[Yamada]

After a couple of years of whining about the price asked by the seller for their OWN stuff, I understood that the seller is free to ask what ever price he want, because he own it, not you! Maybe it it worth 1500, but the guys can ask whatever he want, and maybe someone will make him an reasonable offer and he will accept.

The guy is claiming all original parts? When you go all out like he did you do it out of love for the bike and you have to realize you aren't gonna get all that money back if you do decide to sell it. Save your crappy lil attitude for facebook man....thanks

[Yamada]

If you don't like my opinion you can at least stay polite.
I know that it is not worth 10000. Even if he really dumped that much money in it. No one force you to bid on it.
I got a other one for your budget:

[oldskool83]

hes nuts. so are a few people around me who wants $1500-$2500 for a stock 200x. Lord knows maybe I could ask $10000 for a bike I only have $4000 into. normaly its people how buys these things not really knows anything about them other then no one has them.

Well put...couldn't have said it better myself.... well, maybe....I wouldn't have added the comment after the quote...trailpro

[Darius1502]

The title is hilarious:

"1986 Honda 350x
Profesionally restored 1986 350x Honda ATC Numbers matcing. No expenses spared "


First off: he's mispelled 'Professionally"...he he....

ATC numbers matching ...yeah whatever! I guess the Maier and fork boot numbers are OEM Honda....

Oh and could you please spell 'matching' correctly?

super putz...

Do it like this dude:

[Fungo Wizard]

I just sent an email, asking about the plastics being aftermarket, and said I think the plastics were white for the 86 is this really an 85? LOl I have a not mint but original, clean 86 I would sell for half that price if anyone is interested. LOL

[Worden18]

The seller knows his price is crazy. But he's hoping/betting on that one rich, crazy buyer that might bite on something like this. If it doesn't sell, (which the odds are low) he doesn't care, he'll just keep it and ride it. A couple of months ago an early ATC 90 went for like $12K on ebay; I personally don't think those 1970-74 ATCs are worth anywhere near that (meaning I wouldn't pay that); but someone else thought quite differently....

[oldskool83]

Its a nice 350x, just no restored. So many people think new paint and plastics and parts on a bike makes it restored when really its just been rebuilt. Nothing wrong with a rebuilt 350x, just its not restored at all.

[Scootertrash]

No I think its called trying to screw somebody out of money. The guy is claiming all original parts? When you go all out like he did you do it out of love for the bike and you have to realize you aren't gonna get all that money back if you do decide to sell it. Save your crappy lil attitude for facebook man....thanks

First and foremost, yea dude is WAY outta line on his price. Crazy out of line. I'm not sayin he's right, but.....

The terms Restoration, Refurbished, Rebuilt, All Original and let's not forget Rare, are all vastly overused terms on ebay and craigslist. It's not always for the purpose of deceiving potential buyers as much as lack of the proper meaning of those terms. Are there people who purposely misuse the terms? Sure. Is this guy trying to be deceptive? Who knows? Maybe he's just another public school educated maroon. He has 14 feedbacks in 3 years, all of his visible feedback is from buying, none from selling.


No I think its called trying to screw somebody out of money.

You ever heard of the term "Caveat Emptor?" Do you know what it means? Any buyer who doesn't dig into the claims of a seller of ANY item, particularly on an item with a price like this is, to be blunt, an idiot. Nobody can screw you unless you let them. This happens to people with more money than brains all the time and it is nobody's fault but their own.


The guy is claiming all original parts?

Yup he is. See my post above. If a person is going to drop a bid on this without asking questions at this price, especially if they don't know much about trikes, it's a dumb ass move.


When you go all out like he did you do it out of love for the bike and you have to realize you aren't gonna get all that money back if you do decide to sell it.

That's your opinion, as well as my opinion and many others here, but doesn't everybody try to get as much as they can out of a machine based on what they've put into it? If not, then why does everybody list their Web cam, SuperTrapp exhaust, DuraBlue axle and custom port and polish job when they sell? There are people who buy non running vehicles of all sorts on the cheap, fix them and sell them to profit, and do. Maybe not to the extent that this guy is trying to do, but it's still done. Once again: This guy is out of line


Save your crappy lil attitude for facebook man....thanks

Richardhead comment dude.
You should take your own advice. You're the one who took it to the "facebook zone" with your attitude because someone has a different opinion that you. Did someone tinkle in your Wheaties this morning?

Yamada is right: A seller can ask whatever they want, if it's over priced it won't sell, and nobody forces anybody to bid on it. He won't get more than what someone is willing to pay. Like it or not, it's a fact.

So how about this: Why doesn't everybody here who disagrees with his description and has an ebay account send him questions and info correcting him on his description? Ya never know, you may actually help to educate someone. ;)

Flame suit on.

You hit the nail on the head here Worden. Thanks! ;)

[BigRedRider85]

Scootertrash...sorry my post offended you to the point you had to write a novel about it....I didn't start this thread to argue all day, I just thought it was a crazy price and very poor description of what he really has.

[BigRedRider85]

...and with a starting bid of 9 grand(reserve not met:lol: ), I don't think many "reasonable" offers will be accepted. Just my 2 cent

[briano]

^^^^ it's called a novel, just so you know^^^^

Who cares? BTW this is in the wrong section of the site.
