My horrible tri-z luck

[Mosh]

Care to expand on the "right resources"? I always used Craigslist with fair results.

"Expand" on right resources? Well anything around you can be a resource. Wheter it be, friends, information forums, scrap steel, parts resources, etc. Being resourceful, is taking anything around you and making it work to your advantage. Your parts interchange site for instance, would be a resource. For instance, I would feel better about buying a trike part off a forum like this, vs. buying it off someone who has that same part in a box of lamp shades and tennis shoes and empty beer bottles. I am sure you have gone after the C-list find, and walked up to some dive where you hear banjo's playing back in the dirt floor shed full of mice.
I advised to stay away from C-list for the sake of saving money and just finishing up what you have, with what you have to work with. It was a comedic joke, to break the addiction of buying stuff. While I have also had good luck with C-list, I have also had bad luck here and there. Whether you deal with some quack, that jerks you around, or waist time going to look at stuff that wasn't worth your drive. I have been there, and once you aquire 10 machines in parts, it becomes hard to get rid of them, or stop hording them.

Ahh ok, I was thinking you was talking about a different site to monitor or something. Never really thought about using my atvinterchange site to buy stuff with, but I did think about making a craigslist style selling/buy section more based on shipping parts instead of face to face.

I didn't realize you were building machines from the parts, orig post sounds like you have 4-5 parts machines and none good to ride. As long as your not wasting a ton of money, or have debts, I would say keep going getting one built, then buy another to make another complete machine if you like it. If you can profit off it, that would be even more of a reason to do it.
