Hmm, Derek, yeah, real piece of work......
I asked him once why he was selling 3
motor ((
Internal Combustion Engine ? )) mount rebound stoppers together for $70 when the 250's only use 2 and he called me "the eBay odyssey Nazi".......
He then proceeded to ban me from bidding on his auctions.
So I had to resort to using the wife's account to buy parts from him (only when I couldn't get them elsewhere).
I in turn banned him from bidding on my auctions and he got really pissed off and sent me a couple of choice emails with a slew of expletives. He and Oddatv would routinely buy NOS parts from me and resell them at double of triple their actual worth using the "discontinued" or "rare" descriptions. In most cases the parts weren't discontinued and there's no such thing as a "rare" 250 part, they made close to 90K of them so there a truckloads of 250 parts out there, you just have to look.
If you spend some time on eBay you will find plenty of actual discontinued 250 parts at dirt cheap prices, I do it all the time, just last night I found 15 discontinued NOS 250 parts for $1.95-$3.00 each.
Oddatv just plain lies in some of his auctions, for example, he was selling the driven clutch cam buttons as "rare AND "discontinued" for $12-14 when Honda list is $3.07, and they are readily available for $2.40 at Service Honda........
If they were actually discontinued I could understand doubling the price, but 4X + ???
