he sold me an XS650 on friday night(sent paypal)my buddy picked it up saturday,i needed parts off it to use on one of my RDs(it was already stripped down some).Called and talked to him and he said the bike was in good shape everything was usable and the engine was rebuilt.I told him i needed the forks,front wheel and triples and my buddy needed the engine.

 

Long story short,the forks(rusted) and front wheel were bent(wheel was out of true over .500",clearly wrecked)there was more rust then motorcycle and the engine was locked up.Took the cylinders off and WOW the pistons were seized fast to the bores.

 

basiclly i paid 225$ for a trip to the scrap yard :blink: and i have to unload it when i get there :blink:

everything i wanted to use was JUNK

 

here is what the guy tells me after i asked for 125$ back and i would give him the bike back

 

"THE BIKE WAS SOLD AS IS I TOLD YOU WHAT I NEW ABOUT THE MOTOR IF THE PISTON WAS FROOZE THEN IT WOULDNT HAVE KICKED OVER AND YES IT DID HAVE SOME PITTING BUT I DONT HAVE TIME TO INSPECT EVERY SINGLE INCH OF THE BIKE I WOULD HAVE GLADDLY TOOK ANY PICS OF THE BIKE YOU WANTED"

 

Him and my buddy tried kicking it over when my buddy picked it up so he lied there,and the funny thing is he tells my buddy "i hope for his sake its rebuilt"wow thanks

 

 

i can send pictures of this 225$ piece of scrap upon request if youve never seen a 225$ piece of scrap metal :cheers:

 

wasnt a real big deal until the guy basiclly said "pound sand"I thought i was pretty reasonable giving him 100$ and his motorcycle back for his time.

 

after emailing him today calling him a piece of sh#* after ignoring me i get this email back in less the 1 min.

 

"im glad i go away to ohio and have no way to check my email and i just got up and get to see all this stuff well i guess i will have to talk to paypal since i cant set up a time to come get the bike and give you your money back but i hope you have a wonderfull life

 

jordon"

paypal basiclly told me "f*&^ off"

whats real funny is,when i went to his house the other day 80 miles away,i could see him inside he wouldnt answer the door.

What's even funnier, is your buddy saw the bike, tried to kick it over, knew it was seized, and STILL picked it up. I'd go after your buddy for that 225 bucks.

after you sent the guy the money through paypal a day earlier,what are you going to do.He tried calling me but the guy lives in the boonies and he just brought it back not thinking.I took the thing back to him same way he picked it up but the guy wouldnt answer the door.

 

just chalk it up to another lesson learned of many to learn

You dont give someone money until you have looked everything over, and you have been shown legal ownership. The f-up was in your court.
