    Yeah, Its funny, about e-commerce.
    I have touched on this in other posts but selling online comes at a real cost to the buyer and the seller.
    Ebay takes up to 30% depending on the cost and type of item sold - PS2Fixer can attest to that.
    Shipping oddly shaped heavy items gets expensive fast. Shipping a fender or engine will kill most deals.
    I recently (last week) shipped a kids 70 from Florida to Nevada with insurance it was $550 (Pallet, truck freight) its taking 10 days to get there.
    Aside from the cost to ship there is the real cost in time and materials, packaging, boxing and crating, taking items to the shipper or waiting for them to come to you.
    Selling local is always the best for both parties, the problem for ATC guys is there isn't a huge demand for 30 years old parts locally. So you are very lucky Jim Mac.

    The 185cc-200cc covers so many different models, I kinda fell into what I had available around me, in my rural part of America hard tails and working bikes are the most common, and I think they are the
    easiest to work on too. So when buying parts bikes, a good 200s and 200e parts bikes, those 2 models will support most of the other models for good hard to find parts. In my other thread about "flipping bikes", I mention this
    and how cost effective it is to stay in a narrow field of products.

    Again, I can't say it enough, Thank you all for watching the YT channel and supporting my crazy venture. I am building a shifter cart now, powered by a 185s!

    Here's a little 3 wheeler humor.
    What did you do with your three wheeler today?
    I drained the pool.

    I'd say that you certainly did get it drained.

    Your right Jim, Its been since last year since anyone used it, its 5 years old and falling apart. I was on my second pump and 3rd set of hoses, the seams were leaking and the bottom was bleach out, its time for a new one.
    I figured, I might as well have some fun.
    I would love a in-ground pool, last quote i got was north of 40k, I just can see that much of an investment.
    Thanks for watching.

    I've built, lined, and serviced in ground pools and pumps on the side for a few years in the past. It's the most expensive hole in the ground you'll ever own and it's the expense that just keeps on giving. There's good money in pool contracting if you're on that side of it, but as the homeowner, I would say you REALLY have to do alot of swimming to ever get your money's worth. People love them anyway and pools are great for attracting friends and family (who don't have pools) to your house.

    As a wise man once said...

    The second happiest day of my life was the day I got my pool. The happiest was the day I had it filled in.

    Wife started hounding me for one when the neighbors were putting theirs in. AKA the Jones theory to those of you in sales.

    I told her to keep track of how much they use it and how much time they spend maintaining it. I’ll bet in a year they haven’t spent an hour in it, but they spend at least that much a week cleaning leaves out of it.

    It’s beautiful to look at, but I think I’d rather use my money to buy a picture of a pool, hang it up in my yard and spend the rest on beer.

    Wow, and I thought I was in the minority of non-pool people.
    I have a few friends that have them, I just dont think my family are pool-people, at least not 40k worth.
    This is our 3rd above ground pool, for what it is and the low cost, its a great toy, This last pool cost $500 and a couple hundred a year to keep it up, new hoses and pump. it lasted 3 years, I am very happy with the cost/return.
    Since I have a backhoe, I have considered burying (1/2 the wall height) of a above ground pool and then put a deck around part of it. kind of a happy median, and still cost less than a couple grand for the 3 plus yeas we would get out of it, I think it would be fine.
    I cringed at 40k, but I passed a truck at the dealer last week for 80K so i guess in some strange universe its all relative.

    Thanks for watching, I should hit 1000 subs by the end of the month. that was my goal for this venture, it has taken me 8 months, that's 1 month longer than expected, but I have have had a few set backs this year.
