I have dealt with these guys. I bought a "NOS" radiator fan gasket from them and it was clearly used with a photo copied parts tag. I notified them and was told if its not good enough, someone else will buy it. As a rule I will not buy anything listed from Ohio. This seems to be the source of a lot of shenanigans like below: note cylinder. That will buff out

Famous picture. WTF were they thinking? the art in 'mending' that piston beggars belief.
I dread to think how they 'serviced' the brakes :-)

they couldn't have been serious?..there's no way anyone would buy something like that...they did have the minerals for posting it..i'll give them that....this discovery of scammers like this on ebay has me somewhat concerned that I may be snagged by one of these parasites...can't hold ebay responsible....no way to verify...that they can come back with multiple sites to con people...sad, pathetic individuals....

We have dropped the price $50 from $499 to $350. Maths isn't their strong suit either then.
Think of how stupid the average person is, then realise that half of them are more stupid than that.

I suspect that some of their parts are quite nice because they buy sweet restorations and then part them out for big $$$.

I’m located in Pennsylvania near the Ohio border and am just a few hours away from the Cleveland eBay seller.

yes, they are worth more in pieces...this gt250 I'm restoring was a $400 buy that so far is over the $2000 mark..and will go higher still...I reckon another 2 grand..."whatever!" I say...I enjoy it and hopefully will be able to ride it one day...I doubt I would sell it..lots of work will be going into it...so this bike may be left as part of my estate one day...I'll make sure my will states no sales to OHIO... :mrgreen:

I've posted in the past about this Ohio seller and just want the new members and old to know about this a hole especially all the new site he keeps coming up with, his refurbished, remanufactured parts are just to hide the corrosion underneath long enough so you can not complain or leave negative feedback with ebay especially the rechromed parts, he's into it for the profit!! You shouldn't have to deal with people like that when this is such an expensive hobby or trying to get that ride on the road only to have to buy that part over again.

Don't fall for this you might get lucky but he'll get you eventually.
