eBay Excessive Pricing

I have two 42 year old Honda motorcycles. eBay is the only place to find NOS parts at reasonable prices. Or even used old parts.

I purchased several used parts from eBay lately, and am considering listing some of the 'basket case' motorcycle parts that I've accumulated over the years.

I still BUY on eBay, not as often as before, but it *is* the *ONLY* place to go to for a lot of stuff. I just don't like how they've made the whole selling experience hostile to the small seller.

And I'm *SO* over the auction thing - I try to find BIN items, if the price is reasonable, I hit the button.

I am exactly the same way about ebay. Especially only really dealing with reasonably priced "Buy it Now" listings anymore!

I haven't messed with bikes in awhile, but there use to be a guy named David Silver that may have been based in England that use to sell alot of obsolete Honda parts especially for the old CB's, quite a few years ago.

David Silver Spares is still in business. He bought up a lot of obsolete Honda inventory from dealers years ago. Prices are high, but if you can't get it anywhere else, he probably has it.
