PS3 for a Minibike

[bob58o]

https://offerupnow.com/item/detail/170553848/212-minibike-trade-for-a-ps3-it-wont-run
Want to start building and bartering.

I have a PS3 and a Modified Tecumseh Engine with Comet TC.

This guy has a non-working minibike and wants a PS3.

I want to trade my PS3 for his bike, put the engine / TC on it and sell it for $400ish.
I want $400 to put towards the 420cc build.

This should work... IF HE WOULD ANSWER A FUNDING EMAIL!!!!!

Odd. That engine looks pretty fresh. Unless he funded with it.
Five bucks says he blew up the gov.

I was thinking it looks new as well. I don't need the engine, but would have been a bonus if I got it to run.

Nobody has answered yet. I like this one too.... $100

Also offered $40 for this. Looks like my Trailsport TS-500???? Yes I want another. I don't see them too often.

I think this is the site where people got robbed trying to buy/sell stuff? Gary Indiana Offerup robbery scam.

That's a worthy deal (the original bike), but it'll take a while to get the governor bits out. Either it's that or something that would make him look like an idiot.

Well just got a response and he said he is still willing to trade for the PS3. I said I've got an HDMI cable, the power cable, one working corded controller and I could toss in some games.


I was adding up parts.

Frame $100
Rear Wheel/Tire/Sprocket $60
Front Wheel / Tire $40
Grips/Throttle/ Thrtl Cable $12
Brake Lever $7
Brake Cable $5
Brake Caliper $20


Just shy of $250 for a complete roller (just add engine, clutch and chain).

My PS3 is worth about $50 -$75
The TC is worth about $75
The Exhaust is worth $30
The Air Filter adapter is worth $20
The engine is worth $50

I should be able to come out on top IF I can sell this thing. I'll be into it about $250 - $275. Looking for $400. Not bad for two things I don't use. $400 gets a whole lot done on the 420cc build.

TC $97
Sprocket $16
Belt $29
_______________
$142

Exhaust $74
Timing Key $16
Head Gasket $14
Valve Springs $16
Shipping $14

I'll put it up for $500, hope for $425 and will take $350. $350 gets me running with the stock carb. $450 gets me a 32mm with all the goodies.

If nothing else I'll be able to try out the Tec with no governor. Hopefully it doesn't break before I can sell it, but I have to test it out.

Hope he looks like and idiot, but no need to make a happy recipient of a gaming system feel bad.

I'm hoping its a case of opening the case and not checking the valves.

Now here's a man who likes to compile lists.

 

[Joe-405]

You should see his other threads that he started personally.

Bob must have alot of free time. But it's all information that everybody can use at some point if you can follow him sometimes.

Oh hi Bob !

 

[bob58o]

Oh the lists.....LOL
When you can't afford to buy yet, but want to make sure you get it right.

Latest info compiled says gas porting the piston and maybe using low tension rings will add like 13% HP, cause you loose 13% with the standard piston / ring package due to blow-by and friction and stuff.

Some pro's use this piston I believe.
JR Racecar 2.992" I guess they got a little bored.

Minidragbike's tip about the piston and gasporting.
There's a tip for those who catch it.

 

[chancer]

Did you get this thing yet? Or what?

 

[bob58o]

Nope. The only response I got was "Yes".
No more responses. Who does business like this?

 

[chancer]

If you want several of us could start sending him Low ball offers.
Then maybe he will call you?

 

[bob58o]

Craigslist has this going on as well.

How much for two broken 18HP Vanguards
$550?

"I want to trade for my minibike for a PS3."

"OK, I want to trade my PS3 for for a minibike. Do you still want to trade?"

"Yes."

"OK, I will trade you my PS3 for a minibike."

"A PS3 and what?"

 

[bob58o]

Well I guess you don't want a PS3.
Your broke azz mini sucks. And so does the paint job.

I'll take this for 6 bills If you want to be stupid and play games.
Looks sick!!! Not sure what is up with the TC Back Plate???
Is it art now? I guess it holds the cover and offers some protection when the cover is on.

 

[bob58o]

Well I dangled the buggy rolling chassis to see if he might be interesting in trading for the above.
He wanted a Racing Go Kart.
I'd rather buy this and keep the buggy. Me likey!!! Me likey!!!

 

[bob58o]

It isn't much fun when they are all prettied up already, now is it?
$250
Looks like a $500 Bill to me.

 

[bob58o]

$400 from same guy

What is that gizmotron in the front of the bike?

 

[bob58o]

It is chrome acuteness I guess.

I'm also selling a mini bike with a preidtor 212 engine and no beaks but it comes with a break and and the chains broken it has blue under glow and it is powder coated candy apple red with chrome acuteness that is 250$

No "beaks" but comes with a break.
"Brakes" are normally better than "breaks" when buying used.


Doesn't sound good. LOL
