Worth a laugh

I expect a Lozzo rant at this:

how much??

80 quid for postage???


once again, the anonymous bidder shite precludes any sensible study of the
bidders, although AIUI the seller can see full details.

I fail to see how this anonymising shite helps in any way.

 

I have to shove some exhausts onto ebay ASAP (gethering duct ATM) - any
suggestions on how they should be packaged for postage? A load of bubble
wrap and brown paper? Obviously I'd want to eliminate/minimise the risks
of any harm coming to the items in transit.

 

This may explain the postage:

Post to: Worldwide
Item location: BRUNEI, Brunei Darussalam


Apparently all recent sales of NOS LC pipes have gone for over 500 quid.

Madness.

 

Wouldn't be for an XJ600 (Non Divvy) would they?

 

mike. buckley says...

Very nice. I know a Yamaha dealer who has two brand new sets of 4L0
pipes sitting in the loft above his spares department. I wonder if I can
lob him 50 quid for the lot, he might well be pleased to see the back of
them.

 

'fraid not - RD250

 

When I was sent some exhausts there were in a box just larger than the
pipes. Each pipe was bubble wrapped and the spaces between them was
filled with air pockets (large bubble wrap 6" by 2" I think)

They were really overpacked for rusty, dented MX pipes but appreciated
the effort from the seller.

 

I think I paid £35 for a new pair to fit to my 250LC as it was much
cheaper than buying Microns or Allspeeds after Stanley Stephens had a
play with my barrels and head.

IIRC, Tillston's were knocking out new 350LCs for £675 on the road to
make way for the YPVS, and CB750F2s for only a few quid more.

That's exactly what I used recently. With lots and lots of parcel tape.
