05.Banshee.SE Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 Everyone knows adding chrome to a part increases it's performance by at least 10%. Why do you think I polish (and ported) my boost bottle? That bitch gives me an extra 20HP to the pavement. :biggrin: Quote
ClimbAnyHill Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 That link shows a nice deal on a billet cover, it's a nice piece too! Quote
lokisbuddy Posted January 22, 2009 Author Report Posted January 22, 2009 I know what the seller was trying to do but doesnt that irritate you guys when you type in say "banshee" and you get 50 things that come up that say things like "new yz250 not banshee,kx,rm,cr) its like they do not have faith in their product selling without adding a bunch of irrelevant key words to draw attention, i mean even if i did come across a nice yz250 it doesnt matter if i was looking for a banshee swingarm right? I dont know maybe I am alone on this. Ill drop it. sorry for wasting your time. Quote
mofoka Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 IMO that's like saying having a snagletooth skank that weighs 100lbs with a wet box is the same as having a sexy hot thick hided latina that weighs 100lbs with a wet box. Both will get the job done but which do you preffer? more or less... Quote
jimbob Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 IF you are such a hater of all things shiny, why were you looking on ebay for billet throttle housings? :biggrin: ps the shee in you sig could really do with a sponge throwing over it man. Quote
lokisbuddy Posted January 22, 2009 Author Report Posted January 22, 2009 I like chrome but i noticed the post when i typed in banshee in the search. and the pic is from before i got it the lady sent me that pic ill get a cam soon. Quote
AKheathen Posted January 23, 2009 Report Posted January 23, 2009 i understand your point, but i i were to sell something like.......reeds, i would type in something like "banshee yfz 350 yamaha atv quad 2 stroke engine reed valve carbon fiber flex power pedal performance racing custom intake mod" etc... ok, maybey not that bad, but you get the pic. i could say something that makes sense, but many people like me think that it's a waste of time to look through 1000 results, and the more key words in your description, the more searches it will turn up in. like if you type in 92 4runner, you'll only get ones that say 90 91 92 93 94 95 4 runner. it's kinda opposite a good internet search engine, where you can exclude key phrazes like "not banshee" Quote

I mean if you arent looking for reindeer whats the chances of me buying one when all i wanted was a banshee seat, lol and now not only am i irritated with all the dipshit sellers I am also a hippocrit for not giving up on the thread like i said i was :biggrin: Quote
Michael Jackson Posted January 23, 2009 Report Posted January 23, 2009 im pretty sure its against ebay rules, but everyone does it anyway Quote

AKheathen Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 I didnt know it was against the rules i just figured there was a code of ebayer conduct lol. well im over it now anyway i just decided to quit using ebay lol i use craigslist and forums now i still use ebay, because alot of those anoying items are buy it nows, from wholesalers, with good deals like that one. i was looking for yellow grips, and found an awsome yellow seat cover fo like 30 bucks, and it won't crack in the cold like my flawless stocker did Quote
