Frame 5337 on Ebay ... A few items???

[Wayne]

Yikes!!!! $1,270.00 with a day left! Somebody is going to be peeved when they take delivery!!

[Steve Swan]

i sent the seller a notice also.  told him i know he has received notices from knowledgeable sandcast people; his frame not authentic.

The bidder has zero rating, this is weird, this is totaled, I have notified Ebay, but I think that will do anything.

eBay will do zip about it. eBay are a very equitable company when it comes to sellers and buyers. They screw both equally

I have done the same and reported it to eBay and posted a warning on the SOHC 4 Forum.

Yankeepicker also had a set of later carburetors billed as sandcast.  The single one listed now looks legit but I could have sworn he was the one trying to hock a whole set as a scam.

Looks like smithplace2004 and a couple others like the scam/forgery sales tactic too.  http://www.ebay.com/itm/1969-HONDA-CB750K0-CB750-CB-750-K0-CARB-CARBURETOR-INSIDE-LEFT-BODY-SANDCAST-/290742591397?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item43b19bdfa5&vxp=mtrhttp://www.ebay.com/itm/honda-cb750-k-ko-sandcast-1969-carbs-replated-hardware-/251163340400?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3a7a806e70&vxp=mtrhttp://www.ebay.com/itm/69-70-Honda-CB750-K0-Sandcast-Carburetors-Carbs-Carburetor-16100-300-303-/170906637878?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item27cad45636&vxp=mtr

Lies denials and counter accusations are all you'll get if you try to police them though.

wackiwayne has been around quite some time.  i bought a part from him several years ago.  He's been around CB750's a long while.  I don't recall ever having heard he's disreputable.

The bidder has zero rating, this is weird, this is totaled, I have notified Ebay, but I think that will do anything.

The top two bidders both had a zero rating.  I wonder if the seller recruitied a couple of buddies to help him bid it up.  If so it probably didn't actually sell.  The last bid from a buyer with a non-zero rating was $205.  The SOHC site has a thread for seller reviews.  I wonder if we should start a thread listing questionable sellers.  Shouldn't be a problem as long as we keep it to the facts.

You are probably right Markb. Looking forward to see the next VIN on the same frame

Mark, i think having a category, "Seller Reviews" is a grreat idea.  I would imagine Wayne will see this and he could create the category.  Or, would you contact Wayne and let him know group concensus asks him to build that category ?

[Wayne]

Yep, I'm on it! Looking at the SOHC board they have set up: "Good Sellers" .... "Bad Sellers"  .... "Vendor Reviews" and another one I kind of like .... "Services Wanted". That might come in handy for members who may not have the expertise/tools to get the job done. Let me know and I'll set them up.

[markb]

Wayne, you saw it before I could contact you.  I think all three are a great idea!

[Steve Swan]

My preference would be "seller reviews."  I don't care for the "good/bad" title.  And, i agree completely w/ Mark; keep our comments factual and objective.  We are all good at doing that.

"Services Wanted" is a good category, also.

Thanks Wayne !

Agree Steve, I've not had a problem with the stuff I've bought from wackiewayne and seems knowledgable about the parts he sells from where I sit

I have also received a parts from wackiwayne with good results. Marty K.
