Tardme - yet another rant

[Erelyes]

Prolly because it makes little to no sense.

Do you mean he asked for a little bit more than he really wanted, and got lowballed. Then when he dropped to what he actually wanted, it sold for that, no questions?

Thats what I meant, I put 'offered' instead of 'asked for'... mea faila

A set of Yoshi end cans is considered a "Trick mod" by many people which "dramatically raises horsepower and torque" so no doubt the bikes worth an extra 3k just for the exhausts...

Shit yeah. My bike has doubled in value for having a Yoshi.

Yet at even twice of what I paid for it dealers are selling similar bikes for more.

But your Yoshi's would have cost more than my bike.

[Rhys]

Imagine what it would they be worth if people actually cleaned it before taking pictures and putting it on t/m

[mossy1200]

Nah cost under a 1k but makes the bike worth an extra 10k maybe more.

If you want to see the biggest ripoffs on TM, take a look at what people are asking for their wreck of a Landcruiser or Safari/Patrol that is 10 years overdue to be scrapped. Same goes with Hiluxes.

Scrap a Hilux ??? Never .. they do not break ... just ask Top Gear ...

They break, their just still driveable afterwards.

I have come to the conclusion that a lot of people who think they are trying to sell stuff on tardme aren't really trying to sell things, particularly motorbikes, at all.

They use it as an online vanity project: See my cool bike? Isn't it awesome. Yes its five years old and has done 50,000kms and because I have put tassels and these bitchin new handgrips on it, of course it is "worth" 90% of the price of a brand new one with a two year warranty.

Get real!

Other TM dislikes:

1. No photo on search page. FFS - for the fees they charge you could get one free frickin photo to make people able to search your site more easily!
2. Excessive fees - greedy pigs.
3. Extra charges for everything. A$$holes.
4. Excessive fees - greedy pigs.
5. Crappy search functionality.
6. Limited buying/selling history.
7. Reverts to Featured First everytime you change search.
8. Excessive fees.
9. Allowing negative feedback from buyers who never pick up their sh*t.
10. Excessive fees.
11. You have got to go to your watchlist to find items you're bidding on.
12. Excessive fees.

It's a shame ebay never took off as it's functionality is 100 x better....
