How to make a quick profit.

RCM steel idler auction

'New' price is $15/£7.55. And as if that didnt make me smile enough:

GorillaMaxx single speed coupler auction

'New' price is $12/£6.


Yean baby!....
I dunno, I might have to stock up and sell them to raise a quick buck

[wallot]

well sometimes its cheaper than to pay for shipping from US :)

but people bidding on the input shaft must be crazy :)

[suicideneil]

Oh, the Idler went to a guy from the USA- guess he's never heard of RCMonster, or Mike might be out of stock....

Yeah, I bought the input shaft about 3~4 years ago because I thought the one that came with the tranny I purchased from ebay was bent; turned out to be a wonky spur gear that just needed refitting correctly....

[wallot]

lol mike has idlers in stock :) guess people deserve it if they dont know rcmonster :)

No, its ebay - I call it a bidders frenzy. I was watching some new Emaxx diffs last night, stopped watching after price hit $28 with about 2 min to go. On the search I was looking at there were BIN diffs about 6 auctions down for $24.95, so they should have been on the same page they were bidding from. Thee BIN was less S&H as well.

Go figure.....

That sort of thing happens a lot especially with the more popular items. It's funny when the stuff starts going for more then the online stores.

Oh dear God, where do the morons come from:

SO IS YOUR OTHER ITEM WHAT I NEED? ALSO WILL STILL PAY FOR THIS UNLESS YOU WANT TO OFFER IT DOWN TO THE NEXT BIDDER AND OF COURSE IN THAT CASE I WILL PAY ANY MONEY YOU LOOSE.ALSO I WILL HAVE TO MAKE SURE I WIN THE OTHER ITEM IF ITS WHAT I NEED REGARDS GARY PS AS ISAID WILL STILL COMPLETE IF THAT WHAT YOU WANT AS ITS MY MISTAKE

Im still making him pay- call it a tax on stupidity; if your input shaft is bent, buying a single speed coupler that goes on the output shaft isnt going to fix it....

Why does his brushless gorilla maxx use brake pads?

[suicideneil]

You know, I had to read it 2 or 3 times before I could understand what he ment. I dont even think he knows what truck he owns- brake pads... reverse.... God knows.

[Patrick]

I wonder if the bent shaft he has is really just spur wobble.

[suicideneil]

I had the same thought....

Anyway, I also sold my X-brace motor mount to the same guy that bought the coupler (too flexible, I should have learned from the Candyman's experience). So, I just a message from him saying he received the mount today (posted it a couple days ago), but he hasnt received the coupler yet (which was posted on the 3rd march), and do i have a tracking #?....

You see where this is going; he bought the thing in error 'cos he's got sh*t for brains, then decides to screw me over by saying he hasnt received it and will probably start a claim up to get his money back, atleast thats where I see this going probably knowing my luck, but hopefully im wrong. Anyway, I replied by saying he has to wait 15 days from the postage date to se if it turns up, but if not then I will send him the postage receipt so he can claim compensation from royal mail.... let see how he likes that.
