Title: Japanese only bike parts dealer retiring
Post by: soonerbillz on May 31, 2021, 11:53:34 PM
Like it says.. Japanese motorcycle parts only.
Wish I had the room or time.
Won't sell pieces.. it's all or none.

I've seen two of these types of businesses end up in roll-off dumpsters.

That looks like a horror show.  Hardly any parts labeled.  Sorting that out may be a career in itself, unless the previous owner comes as part of the deal.

its dumb when they ask for a bulk payout. gauranteed to have half of it in a bin. he should just have an open house sell shit off. local junkyard dd that years ago here and i came out with 3 bikes and a truck load, literally, of parts. for 50 bucks. ( i have him a hundred i think on top of that). everybody won.

I had the chance to spend 2 Saturday in the bins of an old Yamaha dealer here in Montreal 5 years ago and I ended with a truck load of NOS and used RD/RZ parts for cheap like new in boxes RD400 and LC exhausts for $75. Wish I could go back and buy the stuff I left there .

Nice place he's got there.  It'd be a shame if something were to happen to it. :devil: :whistle: :dawg:

There are nationwide auction houses that take on such sales and return a nice sum to the seller. They attract the bugers willing to spend good money for their particular interest, but not take on the whole lot.
