Lets get real?

Rocket,
 We saw you were bidding on the swing arm bushes on EBay.
 I just talked to David and found out he still is haveing trouble with the first vendor supplying good replacement bushes. He is looking at a Company that does BMW bushes to see what can be done. I have one set that are the new run. If you like you are welcome to them . I dont need them now and the new ones will be in before i have to have a set.

G'day again,

I've made up a table compiling the info from this thread.  I was just going to do this for my own convenience but thought it may be useful for others.  

The table only has people who have volunteered their evilBay names in this particular thread (apologies if I've missed anyone - and yell out if you want your user name added to or deleted from the table).  All POG profiles link back to this forum so there are no details (like email addresses) that could be harvested by sneaky web engines.

Chuck the link on your desktop and whenever you see an eBay user trying to bid on your Precious Penton Part check out if they're one of the guys on the list.

I would have just done this table inside a forum post but couldn't get the HTML to work properly.

John D,
If anybody really needs the swingarm bushings, go for it.  I only bid on them thinking I may need them in the future.  I think my max bid is only $12.25.  Anybody needs them go for it.

VMX:  Outstanding work! Too cool for school!  One question, when someone adds a new entry, is it automatically updated or do we need to check back periodically and add the changes?

I'm relatively new to the Penton Owners Group. After first seeing Teddy Landers Penton's survive through the toughest conditions without complaint, or tinkering, I've become a fan.  He's let me ride them in competition more than once when mechanical failures beset my beloved Hodaka's. (THANKS again Teddy)

I now own a '80 KTM 250 GS which I'm accumulating parts to restore, and working with Tom Brosius to have the MX side panels reproduced, thanks to my friend Larry Perkins (The Penton Man) and to Buddy Johnson (maicobuddy).  Hopefully she will be ready for the ISDT Reunion Ride at the Zink Ranch this year.

Although I haven't seen much in the way of parts to fit my "Penton in disguise", I almost always Snipe.  I feel that this tactic prevents me from getting into a bidding war with another eBayer and letting my emotions override my bank account.  I determine my maximum I'm willing to pay beforehand and "set it and forget it".  If I win, I win.  If I lose, I lose.  Only once has this method accidently bested a friend who was interested in the same part.  This only caused him to pay about $2.50 more than was necessary.  Communication is the key.

However, if I recognize the high bidder's ID, I almost ALWAYS defer out of decency and respect.  The other times I will email them to determine their need and discuss mine with them, always coming to an agreement.

Dwight's the one that I run into the most frequently since he's a Hodaka nut like myself.  We're friends and share a common passion and respect for each other.  On the Hodaka group on Yahoo, which I moderate, I attempted to convince the members that creating a database of eBay ID's would be in our best interest.  However, the few who were against it caused enough dissention that I shelved the idea.  

Sincerely,
