Facebook Hayabusa Buy/sell - anybody bought from it?

[ottafish]

Hi all,

I'm looking at some parts on the US FB buy&sell page and was wondering if anybody had any dealings through it?
I'm not a FB member so I have to get my friends to contact them for me and ask if they would contact me via email.
Then ask if they would consider shipping to Australia
Just wondering if anybody has dealings?
Thanks

I think I have. I have bought from psycho bike a lot. I haven’t had a problem yet. Knock on wood.

Always use PayPal. That's your best chance of making sure you get what you pay for or your money back. You find a deal? I have bought a lot, most list the same stuff on psychobike. Have to be a steal to add international shipping. Most are asking stupid prices and you have to be VERY detail about condition. I can go on all day about how some of my stuff arrived. The last thing I bought was a autoshift from Smith. It worked, yes. But it was missing a cap and some of the sleeve was melted. Not seen in the picture of course. Hope it goes well.

To be clear. I did not buy the autoshift from Greg. It was used from an individual.

I bought injectors from a guy. I don’t have Facebook but I creep the page. Had my wife contact and pay the guy. It worked for me. But they post a lot of people scamming people.

I did indeed. Even with intl shipping it's a saving of about $1k.
My girlfriend msg him and he answered. Got an email address. After sending 2 emails I've got no reaponce..
I assume as soon as I mention intl postage, it all goes into the too hard basket.

I don’t like shipping international. It’s expensive. And some people say I’m trying to rip them off. Hahaha. I give them the info and tell them go find it cheaper. I usually never hear back from them.

Do you have a friend in the US? Can they message the person, go look at it, buy it and then send it to you?

I shipped my old handle bars to Australia. It was surprised how cheap it was.

I get that. And you're correct, it is expensive. But it is what it is and I know it's not cheap. But I guess it's relative to how much do I want it? It's also the fact in these parts of the world, our accessories and parts are limited, so purchasing from overseas is quite the norm.
I even mentioned in the email that shipping will be around $160-180 us and would add that to the PP transfer. Crickets..

This is my next move. I have grown a few friendships thru here with people in the US that I will ask a favour of. I also have an acct with a freight forwarding company that I can use if needed.
