Mint 1981 250r On Ebay Broken Into Parts

[mbg75]

It's a shame that is was parted out. However i'd have to say, complete it's worth over $2000. Especially if he had the original rear tires. Most of us end up dumping more time and money then that into the trikes we have.

No offense Holic.
Most likely he wasn't offered enough money for it.

In order for someone like that not to part it, he would have to offer for more money than he would get in parts.

just my 2 cents.

i have a close friend who asked me to get the most out of his 350x that i could for him.

SHOCK

i suggest we part it out on ebay.

gotta do a little homework but don't shun me if i go that route.

or another way of me saying it is "piss up a rope if you don't like it".
" bid if you like the parts "

Do you really think he'll get over $1800 for the parts?

[250SX]

Anyone complaining about this trike being parted SHOULD HAVE PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS!! There are obviously a bunch of kids on here dreaming about crap they can't afford. Otherwise, one of you would have ponied up. He was offered $1200 for the complete trike and will make at LEAST double that on ebay. Who's the idiot?? PUT UP OR SHUT UP!!!

There is NO WAY that thing will bring $2400 in pieces. It may bring $1k if he's lucky.

[bigredhead]

he'll bring in more than 1 k.. i'm sure of it !

I have a friend with the same mentality.. it's an old machine.. ride it t'il it dies and to hell with it.

Personally, i think.. no i know i like working on my trike more than riding it, and having one of them would have been the ultimate.

Imagine paying 2000 for it and not having the heart to take it to the trails !

i'd run parades with it ! LOL..

[twgranger]

The parts total around $669 as of now. Still has 3 days left. I think he wil get over a thousand before it's all said and done.

That's the way I see it too. It is kind of a shame to see a nice original machine parted but what other's do with their machines is their business.

If I had an 81/82 250R I'd be drooling to get a hold of some of those parts.

After reading the other thread (at .org) I see what y'all are saying. The guy had been talking to someone and was convinced parting out was the way to make a killing. I guess it's not working out for him? He should have taken the $1800 I guess

[Lomax]

I love how he is bragging about parting out an Immaculate ONE owner machine, Makes him sound like a fool

[yater]

Lomax, you're right around the corner. Where do you go to ride?

[Lomax]

Yater- There is a place that we call the Ozones thats good riding, and there is also up in a little place called dodridge ark. on the Red River sand bars that is pristine to get your ATC out on. I have never ridden an ATC out there (only raptors that I once had) but Thats the first place that I am going when my X is back together again. Other than that, I usually just haul the Bear down to like Funwheeler or Rabbit Creek.
Was wondering, Would the Headlight from that 81 250R fit an 85 200X??

[yater]

I'm new to town and don't know any of the riding areas. The ozones...is it legal? I'm all over that! I'll send a pm later today when I get a chance

[Lomax]

Yeah the Ozones is safe to ride, I think that International Paper owns the place, after deer season is up, we ride there often.

[Trikeaholic]

looks like less than stellar results so far, wouldn't you guys say?? I guess not many people out there willing to pay more than a buck for an 81 frame! LOL What was this guy thinking??.Sure, he is gonna sell the motor, and the plastic, and the headlight, and a few misc items. but he still is going to be a long way from the straight loot I was willing to pay for the whole bike. Now he got less than half the money, and over half a pile of parts. We shall see how it ends. Im betting no more than $1500 total, and Im also betting that he will be ebaying parts off this for a loooooong time. So much for needing money quick! This guy is no rocket scientist, thats for sure.

its all up to a WHOPPING $802!!!!!

hes gonna be rich!!!

I hope I dont eat my words! :o

[Lomax]

Yeah, If i was him I would close all the auctions now and put that thing back together and sell it as a whole, if he as intelegent that would happen, But after what he did i doubt there is little intelligence involved with this guy...
