This %$&#$ "Parts and Supplies" (stupid name) sells the crustiest, nastiest parts and ALWAYS for sometimes 2-3 times what they can be bought brand new for. I'm sick of seeing his crooked ass in my search results, I have no idea who he fools with this garbage. Clutch cover bolts for $40? check. Used timing belts for $100? yep. I sent him hate mail and got blocked, haha.

I suppose I should just ignore him, or some of you will just say he's just trying to get a nut, but I say he's a border line thief. And his over priced parts are always SCABBY as fuq.
There are always people out there trusting the more expensive shop... "since they're confident enough to charge more, they must know their stuff". Plus all those who believe ebay is the only source for parts.
Annoying as hell, but if it's possible to sell at those prices - why not [roll]
$69 for one VERY used foot peg [laugh] Just about twice as much as a new one.
I mock his name in a ridiculous sounding voice out loud whenever his auctions come up. It's possible I spend too much time browsing parts on flea bay ..
You do, but that's all right.
$88 for the small timing side cover.... I don't think that includes a new O-ring and stainless bolts...
He's not shy.
The right thing is to name and shame (he has none) and move on. You did our community a good service, especially for newbies.
This could be a 200+ page "Craigslist crackheads" page, for the amount of material this joker provides.
I'm surprised he didn't part out the timing cover o ring separately for like $27, lol.
My favorite part is: "we are a ********* home based business". Censored to comply with board policy ; P
I bought my used engine off ebay for a very reasonable price, but the same guy who sold it to me charges 3-4 times the price for every other part he sells. When I picked up my engine all the good shit was gone (my fault for not checking) so that he could attempt to fool someone into thinking it was worth it.
Some guys are ridiculous with their prices and make the beast with two backs everyone looking for decent used parts over.
I'm sure we have the same sellers in mind Buck, seeing as how we both cruise ebay for ducati parts.

There's pretty much the same gang of "usual suspects"... none of them are always reasonable but some are worse than others. There's a couple on the west coast that have "best offer" options but they counter everything until you're $2 away from the original price and it's like, make the beast with two backs off for wasting my time.
If only you could leave negative feedback without having to purchase from them [evil]
This dude's crusty nasty parts are only worth what some dick will pay for them.
If he gets stupid money for obvious crap.... more fool the buyer.
Relax. Take a breath. Count to 1000.
The world is full of people willing to take advantage of fools.

Good idea! a warning to others about how comparatively outrageous his prices are.
I can't help it, this guy downright offends me.

That'll be 4 dollars, thank you.
Thanks for the heads up! I was looking at those parts from the M750, were they dug up from a compost pile? [laugh] I would be embarassed to sell anything in that condition. I have noticed used Ducati parts are priced a bit high overall compared to the used stuff i have picked up for my Triumph. I am still a novice at Ducati ownership and have found a lot of helpful information on this forum.

Glad I could help! Ducati parts def tend to be more expensive across the board on average, but there's still no need to get hosed. There are actually more things than one might realize that are better off bought new from the dealer (Commoto is my personal favorite) like special hardware, bracketry, a lot of the plastic trim pieces etc. I bought a new splash guard for $20 and a new seat lock assembly for around that price too, the ebay mob charges more for that stuff and you're getting cracked up snotty garbage. So it's never a bad idea to pull up the parts fiche and check the numbers for what you need first.
His prices are high because he dives to the Marianas Trench for them...

Dayyyyyyummmmmmmmmm.
Why not hit those with some cleaner before listing them? Very little effort for potentially much high sale price...
I bought a few parts from this guy for my Kawasaki H1 project. I guess with 40 year old parts I couldn't be too choosy - but I knew what I was buying -good pics- and as far as H1 parts he was priced about what others were asking.

Pinwall Cycle Parts is my hands down favorite parts reseller, Commonwealth for new OE parts, PJ's, Motowheels, and Ca-Cycleworks for new stuff.
Non moto related: my scrappy kitten Nyx, geriatric cat Otis, best friend (canine) Kovichuk....and my awesome son and lovely wife at the top of the short list of humans. :)

At that price the used condom almost sounds like a good deal.
y'all are just spitting into the wind unfortunately. a wind full of bullshit and vomit.
ebay allows you to block sellers in your search line, but now that they have a maximum number of characters in their search line AND they've removed wildcard searches, it really messes things up:
Look a this monster search I made:
+(ducati, ducait, cagiva) +(alazzurra, alazurra, allazurra, panta, pantha) -(ttx, iridiium, PDF, battery, barrerie, pads, sale, not, model, honda, suzuki, brochure, "fork seals", "on CD", cdrom, "1 12", "1 24", "M", prospekt, "Das Motorrad", yamaha, kawasaki, fiche, filter, sticker, signal, echten, dust, spark, ngk, paddock, rain, LED, goodr)
If you want to exclude sellers you have to go into the search options for each search. It really is a pain in the ass.

I actually like that you still need to know a little classic search engine code to get the most out of it. I wish the whole internetz was still that way and you needed a brain to even be able to get online.

ebay used to allow wildcards * and ? and did not limit the length of the search string. that made searches a LOT easier, but for some reason they stopped it. probably because all the turds were being blocked.

Just had a good laugh myself.
Unbelievable!
What is unbelievable is that guy is probably going to make more money parting out one bike than Rudemouth spent on his entire build so far...
Just from what little of his parts I've seen, it looks like a warehouse caught on fire and now he bought it from the insurance for cheap and is trying to turn profit on all of the garbage left over.

He'll be able to retire after a few bikes if that's the case.... >:(
[cheeky] It will be sweet though, someday......... They may ban combustion engines by then though ;D

I always get so excited when I see this thread!
I should follow this guys listings for laughs.
I won't be laughing when someone buys a critical part from this guy and it fails.
