Ebay a winner?

[Little Al]

so is the recession effecting eBay?

certain parts I need for my '54 FL that I've seen over and over come up for auction I've watched go for big money. Lately those same parts are selling comparatively low. Matter of fact I scored some items I've been trying to buy at damn cheap prices this week. complete mechanical rear with good sprocket & backing plate have been going in the $150-200 range, got one for $70. buddy seat complete spring & bar setup with brackets usually in the $80-100 i got for $40. I've got similar bargains in the past week or two. And all those prices include shipping! Some of the items didn't even have one bidder.

I've got a bit of cash right now to spend, gonna try and keep getting some bargains.

Thought I'd share what I'm seeing with my Pan brothers...  Happy bidding!

That's good to hear. I check that stuff out all the time too. I've noticed a slight shift in prices too but not to the extent you have. I think the key is what you mentioned, not many people have the resources to "waste" on a hobby when they have lots of other responsibilities to pay for. Less people=better deals. Good luck. I'm putting the sheet metal on my '54 today. Started yesterday with front and rear fenders. Fun stuff now. I think I see the light down that tunnel.

glad to hear it, I've been waiting for you to get the tins on and for you to post some pictures ever since you posted the pictures of the paint.

seeing we both have '54's and your ahead of me on your project it keeps me encouraged to keep moving on mine. I have my bike in the kitchen and try to work every night, even when I get home late from work. watching progress here helps me stay motivated, lol

Al, I just got in from the garage. I took a few pics. I'll start a new thread. Glad mine motivates you but you're going more stock than me. As Pzokes called mine more of a resto-mod.

[Little Al]

thanks SG, close by me too!

Jim, i responded in your new thread

nicks is only about an hour away from me and I go there all the time. You would be amazed at his second floor and the 50 or so bikes on display. He just put up there some 1905-1910 indians that were 100 % redone. they are so redone they look like they came out of a time capsule. It"s  worth the trip. Bring your lunch you'll be there all day.

he is open 10 to ? closed sunday and monday
