FYI heres a ebay auction for a Kiehin air stryker carb for $219.00 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayI ... gory=43979
Heres another place you can "buy it now" the same carb for $159.99 http://www.pro-flo.com/proflo_keihin_fl ... TRIKERSFor some reason if the link doesnt work, just go to there main page and look up the air strykers-there right there for 159.99 not including shipping which is very reasonable and top notch!!!!

Ok guys, if you don't understand this, Ill explain to you simply, if you want to pay a ton more money for the same carb, buy it from the Ebay seller-if not- you can listen to all the BS on the other crap page from the sellers best friend and pay 219.00 buy it now instead of the 159.99 from Pro Flo-it is just that simple, why is it people get mad and upset when a member of the community tries to save his fellow members some hard earned cash?

I get it haha, I have bought two 39mm PWK carbs from http://www.pro-flo.com
I know Odykid has bought at least one from them, great prices from guys
that know what they are doing, fast shipping, no BS, I recommend them, too
bad the Pro-Flo guys are not part of the Pilot Odyssey community they could
probably give us a better deal than their every day low price of $159.00


No real need to be upset if someone wants to pay more I am all for it, I am also
ALL FOR guys like you that keep showing the Pilot Odyssey community the better
price...

Thanks!

Your welcome- the posting is to help the community, not intice the riots of long ago as referred to by some on others pages-I for 1 wouldn't feel good knowing a guy/girl paid up to 50+ dollars for an item that is readily available from a other source that has been used by the community for less, that's my 2 cents on it-there are no motives, etc associated with the posting as some on other boards are trying to spin it to be, plain and simple it is just to show the group that they can save some hard earned cash.

hERES A REPLY FROM THE SELLER OF THE CARB ON ANOTHER PAGE, PERHAPS SOMEONE HERE CAN EXPLAIN IT TO ME? FYI: Even cheaper
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If trying to save the community money, why would you not link to my website where I list them for less: www.chucklenuts at aftershot motorspurts...page=FL350

Since shipping is free from my website on orders over $50, I am only allowing $5 over Pro-Flo's prices to cover shipping. It will cost more than that to ship one state over let alone across the country so my 'out the door' pricing is actually cheaper.

I list them for more on eBay because I have to pay eBay fees.

If this is the case, why didnt he have link to Pro flos site? http://www.pro-flo.com
since he is only making 5 bucks on the dam thing, why sell them, to help us, I do not think so-this explaination doesnt make any sense to me at all, it seems to be all spin to get a person/buyer to think he is helping the community, but it seems to me to be latter: that profit outwieghts everything,just my 2 cents.If I am not getting it here, someone please explain it to me-cuase I am not understanding it all and would like to be informed if I am incorrect in my thinking.

I remember the day when pointing out the better deal on parts was the popular thing to
do, today it seems to be the unpopular thing to do, I also remember the same guys
throwing a fit now activity participating in pointing others in the direction of the
better deal, "Funny" to see them (hypocrite) spinning a 180 today...

Some might wonder if people are doing nothing wrong what is all the fuss about..

Heres a reply to my posting on another board-if you want to skirt around the issues and get(in my opinion and nobody elses)taken for some of your hard earned money-so be it.Whats amazing is the persons who have replied to my postings, longstanding members here understand what the deal is-for you first timers, newbies-understand what you get on some boards is all sales hype, I have never meant to mislead anyone or anybody by my postings-the fact is that the guy wants you to buy his carb for 50+ dollars more on a" buy it now" through EBAY when in fact he sells the same carb with no shipping as I understand it on his site for less money-thats the truth and it is not misleading.Would you be upset if you bought a carb from the seller on ebay and lets say a week later you got a link by a friend for his personal site and the carb is there for $164.00 with free shipping, you may have just bought it for 219.00 on EBAY.Would you be happy to hear you gave someone 50+ dollars of your hard earned money for NOTHING?Is that misleading? Read the enclosed reply -you be the judge- is it sales hype-postings that skirt around the main issues-or me misleading you? Here it is in direct from the other site-lets read together and analize the posting to see if I have been misleading in anyway to you guys: livewire is not misleading anybody. If you want a PWK Air Striker you can buy it for a price YOU nominate through his auction - the price in any auction is nominated BY THE BIDDER. He has explained it is a few dollars dearer because of the ebay charges - quite proper - ebay reaches more people than other forms of advertising. He has also explained - quite properly - that he is not allowed to put his web site on ebay. That rule is quite proper and livewire is acting properly in complying with the rule (and respecting it).

YOU are misleading people. The cheapest place to buy a 35mm PWK Air Striker carb (freight considered) is on livewire's web site. YOU have chosen to try to direct people to a more expensive source. YOU have tried to deceive people by posting prices of different products rather than comparing the prices of the same product. YOU are misleading people.
.

You should also refrain from trying to stir this sort of rubbish up. You're a member of a site that loves this sort of rubbish - take it there and keep it away from the decent sites.


First off all I didnt nominate his "BUY IT NOW PRICE" HE DID, I CAN'T SET PRICES FOR HIS AUCTIONS-MISLEADING?Buy-it-now price on the auction 219.00. Buy -it-now price on PRO FLO site is 159.99 #2:AS STATED IN THE REPLY- he cant put his website on ebay-go to the link provided on Hoser homepage for EBAY-it accesses the page for 350 odyssey parts, whats up on the top left corner of that page, An advertisement for chucklenuts at aftershot motorspurts motorsports-misleading you?-its right there!!!-but the poster says he doesnt ADVERTISE HIS SITE ON EBAY AND PROPERLY ADHERES TO EBAY REGULATIONS(AND RESPECTING IT)--WHO'S GOT THE FACTS RIGHT HERE?-#3:you don't need to even buy the AIR Strker 35mm for your ody to begin with!!#4:The cheapest place to buy a 35mm PWK Air Striker carb (freight considered) is on livewire's web site. not true again! if you consider the buy it now price! I POSTED A SITE WHICH YOU CAN BUT IT NOW FOR LESS THAN THE AUCTION HAD FOR WHICH WAS 219.00-the buy it now from pro-flo is far less than that-shipping is cheap as well from them and the difference is still way under 50+ dollars. Misleading you-I beg to differ.#5: YOU have tried to deceive people by posting prices of different products rather than comparing the prices of the same product. YOU are misleading people-I have ?go to pro flo site and look for yourself or better yet call them for there new prices, it still is alot cheaper than the SET PRICE ON THE AUCTION FOR 219.00 BUY IT NOW-you can bid on that carb- yes as he states, but if you arent that knowledgeable in this hobby that we are in you may "buy it now" not knowing your options-#6: You should be asamed of yourself. You should appologise on each board you have misled.APOLOGIZE FOR WHAT? showing individuals that they could essentially be taken for 50+ dollars-I will not apologize for showing others in this hobbie/community that they potentially could be spending more money for a product when there are other options available to them.#7: You should also refrain from trying to stir this sort of rubbish up. You're a member of a site that loves this sort of rubbish - take it there and keep it away from the decent sites. REALLY-LETS REPHRASE THAT TO THE REAL MEANING(in my opinion)which is- we don't like the fact that you may be potential telling individauls that we are making money off them and losing profit when we state to all we are helping the community with our sales: and that Hosers site is a RUBBISH site, for you newbies-the other sites are good, don't get me wrong-it's guys like this one who are involved in many past bad times, guys who have alteroir motives to there postings,guys who post on other sites that give you info along with there email address, there link to there parts pages,home pages that you need to stay away from, not me, not here,that posting is nothing more than a sales pitch to discredit me and all guys who don't stand for that type of RUBBISH.apologies, NO WAY-MISLEADING YOU-in my opinion not true.You be the judge.
