so im cruising Ebay and i found this:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Kawasaki ... 5984QQrdZ1

yea sure, its broken in several places, but you could fix it...

with shipping it would be at least $30 to my house.

up next at auction, some tupperware lids that were warped in the dishwasher...

He doesnt even have pics to see the dammage. im not surprised this has no bids.

(mods, if this post is against any rules feel free to delete it, but im not selling the item in questions, im making fun of the fact that it probably won't sell because its an over priced piece of "poo poo" )

On ebay, the more rediculous the title "L@@K" the more you're getting ripped off.....Fact of the matter is you can almost sell anything on ebay, so why not try?

Eh, i don't think it's toooooo bad. I've seen worse. But some people might have a need for a broken bottom fairing

people will buy anything. one man's trash is another's treasure and all that.

my dad is the least computer/internet savvy person that i know, and yet he makes money off of Ebay. He goes to garage sales and buys odd things for cheap and then packages them up on ebay and sells em.

for example last month he bought about 30 Northwest Territories license plates from a farmer for about 5 bucks (CDN)....turned around and sold 2 of them for like 20 bucks (US$). so not only did he make his money back and more, he still has 28 of these things to sell and will parcel them out on ebay over the next year and they will be snapped up at similar prices.

old records, a trumpet that the mouthpiece was fused, a toy bow and arrow set from the 50s, and little pog like collector coins from Red Rose Tea from the 40s or 50s...he sells it all.

Granted, he might not be able to sell a broken fairing, but there might be someone out there who would buy it for some odd purpose and think he got the deal of the century.

There is SO much junk on ebay that never sells...ebay just makes a fortune. They charge you to list it, plus if it sells they charge you a percentage of the sale, then they charge you via paypal to accept the money.

I buy/sell stuff occassionally on ebay but the fees are just ridiculous.

I agree that the fees are a bit ridiculous. i tried to sell some stuff, it didnt sell but i still ended up paying the listing fee.

thats why im trying to sell my ninja 250 upper fairing off ebay.....
