my father in law owns a junk yard, he's the same way. You just have to come at the right time like when he's in a good mood or if he needs money then you get the deals.

there is a bike shop here in Alliance,Ohio, called Action Sport Cycle they have a garage full of just about everything and alot of stuff outside rusting away.I went in there and asked them if they had any tri-z stuff they asked what i was looking for,I told them, they said new or used i said preferably used thinking i would get a good deal.So the guy said we got one sitting out back went out back,sitting in the rain and everything else here in Ohio. A nice 86 tri-z no rear rims or tires just rotting away.I asked them if they would sell the whole thing for 500 dollars,which was pretty fair considering it did not run and a few parts were missing.The guy said we cant do that we will make more from it here in time.so i said fine i will take the pegs.We went back inside.One peg was pretty bent up, but it was better than what i had at the time.He started to ring them up looking on his computer and he said 60 dollars.I asked him if he was F-in crazy.So he tries telling me they are discontinued yada yada yada, I tell him the one peg looks like it was run over by a train,and that i could get them on ebay cheaper he said how about 30 i said that was fine. But it is amazing how they try to get you with the, it is discontinued thing too,I would have made my own before i spent 60 dollars for them pegs.Two weeks later i bought a nice ass pair on Ebay for less,and bought the other parts i needed on bikebandit,now i could kick myself for even buying them for 30 dollars.So i said from now on I will wait and just buy what I need on Ebay and put dumb ass businesses like that out of business

Yep he's High. But if you really needed it I dont think you should say the cheeper over there thing. Tell him you like his overalls.lolOriginally Posted by Rex Karz
maybe we can set up something where everybody goes to the salvage yards in their states and take pictures and gathers info and post them on this forum so people on this forum who might need that to find part or parts then can locate and buy that hard to find part that they would have never located without this great forum .I hope this makes some sense ? just think about all those atc's and atc's parts hind away in some salvage yard just waiting for one of us to find .
