Never again complain about BMW parts prices

Just google "lmgtfy"

My rear hub splines to the wheel are getting real pointy. Do you have a rear hub with good splines and do I need a matching wheel hub?

Ps Rob- I don't want to hear about Google.

O.K. - for which bike?

It would be for the 1975 R90/6. Your R65 Hub may be a little too low a ratio.

I sold 2 very true rear wheels and one hub just a couple of weeks ago. None left.

The stacks were removed, cleaned, inspected, bearing replaced as needed, lapped square, lubed up and installed.
The complete wheels brought $60-$70 and the hub only $25.

Most of my parts should have been bought just as spares. I still have a super good low mileage gear set for a /2 transmission. This is the best set that I ever removed in that the slider dogs match up very well. All 6 are taking power and that is unusual. I put a reserve of $500 and eBay messed it up and didn't register the reserve. Fortunately I had put it in my listing description. The sale only got bid up to $122 and I canceled the sale. The buyer knew me and understood what happened, so he didn't give negative feedback. EBay messed up a listing a few years ago and nearly the same thing happened. They aren't perfect.

Hmmm...you're a successful businessman type, you know what the stuff is worth yet you're selling for a quarter of that.

What's wrong w/ this pic?

Just sayin', y'know.

I think that at this stage of Duane's life he is realising that money isn't everything, and that socialised medicine done properly, is a good thing.

I don't set the price, bidding does that for me.

I hope to tell you exactly how wonderful Obama care is working out.

You set the least you'll take. But the way the ebay system works, if you really want $250 for a wheel genuinely worth that, you pay a bunch more for the listing, on top of the greater fee you pay when the item sells. You don't get the money and the buyer don't get the good deal. Solution: don't use eBay.

It's one thing to give a killer deal to some poverty rider you at least sorta know. You spent the money you didn't get on a warm fuzzy feeling for doing something decent in the world. But on eBay (or craigslist, etc.) it just gets bought up by a flipper (speculator) who turns around and sells it for full value, pocketing the money you should have gotten. Nothing wrong with making money yourself, give it to the local animal shelter or whomever else you wish if you don't need it---but control it so it goes where you want and does what you want. There are a number of people flipping airhead parts in the Bay Area. They scour craigslist, aggressively, buy stuff cheap, harass people if it isn't cheap enough, then resell it on eBay, craigslist, IBMWR, etc. I got nothing against doing biz, but as a poverty rider myself, it'd be nice to get in on a good deal here and there without having to deal with the pressure and the aggression of these people.

How kind of PITA to explain to Duane how ebay works....
