View Full Version : How do I identify parts for selling?

Over the years while collecting parts for the trumpy, I've ended up with 'extras'.
I'd like to get rid of a few of the girder forks. They're pretty basic. I suspect a few BSA & maybe a Norton.
So, is there a method for differentiating between brands/models?
I'd like to stick them on eBay & have some idea of what I'm talking about.

Any advice appreciated

cheers

Put some photos up and I'm sure somebody will help you out. I can spot an Indian part a mile away.

Easy, take pictures of one list it on Trade Me, say they are off a Vincent or Brough Superior ,price accordingly, sit back and wait for the correct answer. Ebay of course would give you a wider panel of judges.

Ok... this seems to be a dead end (haha)...

I'll think I'll weld them all together, call it "Vintage Motion" & flog it off to a yuppie with too much money. :Punk:

Just put them on E Bay with an exorbitant price (on the grounds that they're rare) and see what happens ... Those that know what they want ... will know what they're looking at.

Girders are probably trump. Doesn't seem to be any vintage folk on here.
Chucked them back in storage for now.
