Appreciate that your trying to sell parts as complete as possible . Liked, the starter , it includes a connector and mounting bolts . That makes a difference when trying to assemble a project . That’s a good sales point and will gain positive reviews fast . I’ve blights parts that were shipped fresh from being disassembled and sometimes filthy . You at least try to accommodate . Helps to,show the condition in a better light as a cleaner part as well . When someone sees all the parts in your on line store , they’ll sell faster to so,Rome who needs multiple parts . A project goes faster for them and your sales ought to go fast too . Best of luck . Make that money ! 👍
Great thing, GG!.. And cleaning the stuff up is for sure a win.! I do have a roll of cheap white drawing paper at the end of my bench, and LY out as cover for the greasy bench-top when taking pictures of my parts,.. Then you've got another advantage in selling the parts.. Great to see your video on this, and actually how you easily make your income in the future... 👍
Dude thank you! I've been debating whether or not to try and fix my old bike's engine myself because I feel comfortable taking it apart, but not so much putting it back together and trusting my life trying to ride it. This is definitely a lot less complicated than trying to become a youtube mechanic 😂 Great video 👍
dont forget about the final value fees.. about 10% of so. You will make money though for sure with this engine part out! Honda fours are very collectable right now
yep im 15 been doing this for about a year. started on moto 4 225, 200 parts. Now im selling tri moto 175 parts. doing good and making a lot of profit.
I sell lots snowmobile, and motorcycle parts on ebay, its great little side hustle because everyone needs parts. Ive sold at least 5 complete engines over the years, and Ive broken down complete perfectly running engines and sold them in pieces. Selling complete engines is more of a hassle, and more to worry about it because you dont know if the buyer installed the engine correctly. Biggest fear is selling a complete engine and having it blow up a few rides in.
Nice video. Enjoyed watching. Like the aluminum foil idea. I used to sell on eBay and really enjoyed it but now it seems all the profits go to eBay and never understood how to ship cheap. I know a lot of parts are shipped media mail. Which isn’t right. Seems that many buyers nowadays are hard to please even when you are specific and good pics from all angles. I found a lot of money loss from eBay pulling funds and I didn’t get parts back. I wish there was a motorcycle/atv parts locator website designed specifically for this only and reasonable fees where both buyer and seller do well to use.
Stopped selling on eBay after they wanted my social and bank account, I do miss it a bit, one of the best ways to get your stuff Infront of alot of buyers but I wasn't even selling for a profit just have a bunch of stuff I don't need anymore ohwell lol
hi, I like what you do, I have an important question, what type of license do you need to run your business? please give more details on how to get a license to run this type of business to meet the local requirements and recycling issues
I feel like the gears for the Transmission and stuff like that should be individually bubble wrapped then put in the bag cause if I got a bag with all the gears hitting each other I'd be pist just throwing a tip out there
Nice how to. I see a lot of people parting out dirt bikes and guns. Got a friend that sells nothing but clothing and shoes on ebay and makes a killing. There is money to be had, that's for sure. Have you tried Facebook marketplace yet. No fees there.
I was buying used parts and some were junk and defective Make sure you check the reviews and put your own review in on every purchase so we can get rid of the cons
The worst part is to get it started,.. But it's very satisfying when first sale is done, and the ball is rolli'n!.. Take time, finding the exact parts number, and which bike for,.. List it, because the parts might be used in all kinds of bikes,.. From 50cc to 1100cc, (the older stuff) .. then good clean, and marking/bagging.. Happy sales!.. 👍
Dude thanks for spending time making the video but that's not the way you clean pistons; see the problem with cleaning with an agressive metal brush is yes, you brush away the carbon deposits but you also brush away the aluminium of the pistons thus damaging them as you interfer with the weight, and scratch the crown. The best way is to use ultrasonic cleaning.
1. I dont understand how you can offer free shipping on a $34 part? 2. I sent a toy to my grandson for Christmas and the shipping cost more than $34! 3. How do you know how much shipping is gonna be without going to the Post Office? 4. What happens if the part sells, then it costs more than $34 to ship it?
Ebay has huge shipping discounts with UPS, FEDEX AND USPS; up 64% iirc. Anything under 10 pounds is typically affordable and its worked into the price to be honest. Yea you see something on there with free shipping for $34, but if you do calculated shipping it would be $22-24 plus shipping. Free Shipping is a good marketing tool. Anything over 10 pounds has some value to it as well, so it works out in the end.
ebay takes 13 percent of the total. plus like a 30 cent listing fee of every sell. so if you are paying shipping they still take 13 percent on the gross not the net just a heads up. i have an ebay store and they make it very hard to see whats going on with what you sell. they give you info but its setup up to be vague misleading and unclear lol. good luck!
it was good to sell on eBay when they charged less fees, now its the seller who is working and eBay eats all the money the seller could have made by selling things...no profits anymore
and this is why partsbikes are getting scarse and everyone is whining stuff get expensive and hard to come by, no hater tho i do it myself tjing tjing 😃

Very informative video dear, keep it up!
Wd-40 and let it soak in a few minutes cleans the carbon off much easier.
Seems like the better money is in tanks, carbs, seats, chrome parts, etc rather than motor parts at least from my experience on a few vinage bikes.

Same, i dont trust em

@@corneliusthecrowtamer1937 yes because I'm not running a business like I said
@@This0is0pointless you can right it off if you are selling personal items

Awesome video thanks
Sure there's bucks to be made if its a legit buyer on the other end. Wish you luck with the rest of the engine parts for sale. Best wishes.
First. Hey buddy been a while.
I've been meaning to do this. I have so many old parts just laying around that I'm sure someone could use!

Where do you source your bikes from?
Dunno about you but I always use gloves when using carb cleaner, just save yourself some exposure. I'll send you a box if you want.
What kinda gloves do you use?
@@GoldGuyRides Nitrile gloves should work fine, they're fairly cheap and you can find them at the hardware store or walmart etc
How do you ship the parts do you pay a flat rate or who do you ship with
UPS or FedEx for big or heavy things and USPS for everything else. Flat rate when I can. I use eBay websites shipping app which saves me some money.
