Default Sell Sell Sell!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't believe people selling items here for 95% of what they paid for an item, or even trying to make a fricken profit for that matter. One guy got ripped off for some pipes and is trying to pass it on to anyone who is stupid enough to bite. Another person is selling a seat and he writes, and I quote "I sold my bike to a guy but he doesn't want the solo seat" "I paid $250 for it asking $200". Come on!! That means the buyer just gave him back the seat!!! At that point, it becomes a free seat to him!!! Je$u$ Christ there are some tight a$$es here. I give so much $h!t away it's pathetic. If you got items to sell and you want to sell it here, give your fellow members a deal, or sell your **** on ebay!!

Some people do have an inflated sense of value... but on the other hand it's a free economy, so get what you can get... It's never seller beware...

I always sell stuff for less than what I payed. IMO, certain things do hold some value, others do not. Motorclothes (except for leather) seem to take the biggest value hit.

I have to agree.

If I'm not using it and have no plans to and know you that you WILL use it, then it's yours!
But don't even let me find out a year later that you sold it!

Don't be fooled by asking prices. Most stuff usually sells for less.
