    Cal ATV 250r plastics...ad New Approach??

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Honda...94776443QQrdZ1

    What do you guys think...Goes to show you have to read the fine Print..Something about it seems sneaky. Am I missing something??

    what a tart!

    2 of them in a box should be no more than $10 shipped anywhere in the country.

    I just hope whoever bids reads the auction carefully or they 'll be in for a big surprise.

    I thought I came upon a clearance special or christmas giveaway...Wishful thinking of course..I almost bid but then my senses came over me and I read the fine print.

    He's making his money on the shipping charges. That's why his BIN prices are so low. The rear fenders have a $275 shipping charge to my zip code. Someone is going to get pretty pissed-off when they buy them without checking his shipping prices.

    The whole idea behind this is the eBay commisions are only on the selling price of .99 not the 51.00, so they are saving money.

    so if saving money why not drop the price ands make it more attractive to us? i asked him about all the plastic for an 85 250r. they quoted me $25 for shipping it all. i didnt think that was bad. i order all the plastic from service honda. shipping was $80 bucks so needless to say i cancelled my order from service honda. now i just have to get around to biting the bullet to order from CAL-ATV later off to work

    You are right shipping from Service Honda was Pricey...Cal ATV people have been very helpful also....The ad just doesnt seem like something they would do to me.

    I agree, if someone bid without reading his description, they would be in for a big surprise, but I'd hardly call it "fine print." His "new approach" is clearly spelled out in fairly bold print. Everything under "Customer Support", now that's fine print! It just goes to show ya', no matter where or who you buy from, you've got to read the instructions, and if it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is!

    Why should it concern us who gets a few bucks off of the sale? If he sells it for $47 & then charges $5 for shipping, it costs the buyer $52. If he sells it for $1 & then charges $51 for shipping, it costs the buyer $52. Either way the buyer is out of pocket for the same amount. It sounds like you're pissed off because you're not getting a brand new factory shroud for $1 + $5 shipping. Isn't that the pot calling the kettle black?

    I don't think that is always the case.
