You gotta keep lookin man. Around here guys post up new ads with karts for sale every day, the true bargains usually get snapped up within an hour or so of being posted. (I've missed out on serveral deals by just a few minutes myself :ninja:

You seem to be in a good market there, I'll bet if you kept preformed c-l searches using those 4 different go kart spellings I linked, several times every day, you'll find someone unloading a cool $1000 kart for just a few hundred bucks.

I was lucky enough to locate a 1968 (ish) Fox Doodle Bug from Ebay.
Was local pick-up only and as a result almost no one bid on it. Was under 5 miles from my pad (Huntington Station to Melville).
Got it for $107 (a steal) complete with a running 3hp Tecumseh. Pictured below with Jacobsen j-321 2 cycle.
Keep as many feelers out as possible. Sooner or later something will pop up.

Hey great deal there Russ. I love those "local pickup only" ebay auctions too. (especially from sellers with low feedback counts) It really trims down your bidding compatition and you dont have to pay till you've actualy seen it in person.

Hey Imbo,
Russ gave you a really good tip here to snoop out your local ebay bargains.

If you preform a search for the term go kart on ebay, just click on the "Under 200 miles" link to find all the ads from your local sellers. (but you'll find you first have to sign up and become an ebay member to allow this type of specialised search there)

And then also don't forget to enter all 4 different spellings commonly used in go kart ads to find them all. (like those used in my 4 craigslist search links above)
