Jacob, when we want to give you stuff or help you out, it's not charity. It's the community you've built continuing to want to support you so you can keep doing the things we like and be less worried about resources to do it. Think about it as others contributing to your success.
Hey man, I'm an eBay seller and let me just tell you, if you want to keep your account in good standing, sometimes you have to just eat one every now and then. The fact that the buyer already opened a case on you means that its now on your 'official eBay record'. If you don't settle the case between you and the buyer, eBay will step in and they always seem to side with the buyer. What that means is this case will not fall off your account for 1 year. If you manage to get 3-4 of those (depending on number of items sold) eBay will start to restrict your selling limits and the dollar amount you can sell per month. It happened to me because of the same situation you're in and my selling limits were restricted until it fell off. Again, 1 year. So my advice is eat it, and offer a full refund to the buyer. Are you in the right? Yes, does eBay care? No. eBay protects the buyer, not the seller. Just my 2 cents.
Thanks for the advice, it's good to hear from a pro. We'll see what happens, but maybe I should just give the refund. They opened the case lightning quick and didn't respond to me when I suggested asking their neighbors about it, or the carrier. Appreciate you watching the video.
@@jenniesgarage You can absolutely settle a deal with the buyer, but be careful to make sure the case is resolved by the date eBay specifies. If its not settled (or a refund is given) eBay steps in and in my experience they usually tend to side with the buyer. That case will go on your record of 'cases resolved by eBay' and wont fall off for 1 year. Too many of those and your selling limits will get reduced. As far as the negative feedback; same thing it'll show all your future potential buyers that negative mark for 1 year before it also falls off. Love the videos, and even my Dad is a loyal subscriber. He likes to let me know when a new Jennies Garage video goes up.
eBay will side with seller if the order is marked delivered and delivery address was not altered. Buyer will not be able to leave negative feedback either and it will not harm sellers account in anyway.
@@1ceCold037 This is what I was "Thinking", I don't know because it hasn't happened to me. As a seller myself in this case, I would contact the shipping company first as the onus may be on them to reimburse you. And also, while the automated Ebay system can be pretty harsh, if you call them and actually talk to the staff, they're usually pretty knowledgeable, helpful and understanding. Good Luck guys
I used to be a powerseller, what happened to you happened to me so many times I walked completely away from eBay 10 years ago and never looked back, one of the best moves I ever made. Be a buyer. I was losing thousands of dollars to these scammers, they know all the tricks. @@jenniesgarage

In addition to providing many hours of entertainment, I have learned many things from your videos and have been inspired to continue working on my own old project bike.

Hey Jake, Jenny's garage did you realize that no? really cares what you post as long as you post something You did a great video keep. him coming Don't be shy. Don't be bashful Just put it out there and we will all watch and give you a thumbs up. I live in San Jose, CA. And I've been watching you for a long, long time. and will continue to watch. So keep up the good work. Your knowledge is great and is well appreciated amongst us all.
Regarding the item you sold on eBay. If you purchased the shipping label from eBay and didn’t modify the shipping address, if it shows delivered eBay will always side with the seller and it will not hurt your account. So if I were you, I’d let eBay step in and they’ll close the case in your favor without refunding the buyer and the buyer will not be able to leave negative feedback either. Great vid as always! Thanks for the shout out 😉

yeah glad someone else pointed this out-- i didn't point out all the nuances like you did (smarter answer) but yeah don't sweat it it doesn't fall on you as the seller. once it is scanned it falls on the post office or ebay or the buyer. ebay will most likely refund the buyer-- but this is how must buyers run scams they just claim they didn't get it and get money back. (but yes it does happen also where your package gets stolen etc).
I had this happen as a buyer. Was annoyed as shown delivered but I didn't receive it. The seller wasn't interested and ebay removed my feedback. I did however leave bad feedback for the seller on Yell, which they were unable to remove.

@@philtowle4683 it isn't the sellers fault. if you didn't get a package that isn't their problem. it becomes the post offices problem the second the beep it in, and then also the post office says -- no we did deliver it. so then you have either fraud (easy the buyer says they didn't get it, but they did) or the package was stolen , lost, etc. You may file a claim with USPS for something that was lost and they will pay out if you can prove it via tracking. And you can also get paid for damaged goods depending on value and type of shipping purchased (USPS ground advantage 100$ insurance is included). But yeah if a buyer can't understand that a seller shipped an item to them, the post office shows they had it, the post office says they delivered it and still the buyer wants to be mad at the seller? there is an obvious disconnect there logically and you can be mad at post office or your porch pirates or whoever you want-- but being mad at the seller is just wrong. Say a seller ships you a package and it is empty and there is nothing inside-- then yes that would be something you could be mad at a seller for and that would fall onthem.
Lost an iPhone and the money that way in college. Amazon sellers take the loss too. Know first hand on that too. Have to take the L, unfortunately. Love y’all. Glad to see y’all back
Hey :) I've been watching you guys since 2019 and glad to see you guys as always. You guys have given me a lot of inspiration for my projects, and I cannot thank you guys enough! Sucks to see what happened with the eBay ordeal, but I hope it'll be resolved soon. Take care!
This video worked great . Just you two out in garage , Jake telling us how it is , just perfect. And hopefully no hours of editing 🤞. I buy a lot from eBay myself and since the pandemic I’ve found all my tracked packages are just dumped on the doorstep with no regard of value of the item inside. I can only imagine how much stuff disappears after the seller is told it’s delivered and before the buyer gets home .
Hi Jake and Jen Love the key story! When someone gifts you something it is a blessing from above all good things are from above! One can see it in James 1! When we don't accept I have heard you take their blessing they offer you! God Bless so nice to look and see you with another video! Thanks!
One other thing, the only person that can claim insurance is you. The recipient can't get the insurance from the package. If it was priority, you have a default of $100 and you can get your money. But make good with the recipient so they will help you with USPS.
You can get a cheap laser cutter and cut a filter a minute with accuracy down to .1mm. As for selling stuff that shows delivered and the customer says it isn't, your responsibility ends when you hand it off to the carrier. If the carrier says they delivered it, the customer should be taking it up with them. Some people won't understand that though and will make it your fault. If they can leave negative feedback or ruin your reputation, you need to take that into consideration and eat the cost when possible. It's bullshit but it's not worth the headache.
Thanks for the idea about the laser cutter. I hadn't thought of that. I will check them out. As far as ebay, as you say it comes down to whether or not $10 is worth a negative feedback. Maybe the package will still show up
I have had it where the courier will only deal with the person who bought the postage. This is where it falls down as the seller doesn't care as they have their money.
I think you should try an electric carving knife for your "homemade " filters. I have used them to cut foam materials for years. Usually works quite well.
The key coincidence is like a modern day equivalent of the old story (available in various flavours throughout the years) of the traveling salesman who was one day walking along a street in Plymouth, knocking on doors trying to sell his wares, and on the corner of a street he came across a public phone box and the phone inside was ringing. He decided to stop and pick up the phone only to be shocked to hear his wife in London asking for her sister after having accidentally dialed the wrong number which happened to be that very phone box! Love it!
Yes at times deliveries don't make it and it's not the buyers fault at all that the delivery company made a mistake. This exact thing happened to me two days ago with eBay. I bought a high performance SBC master engine rebuild kit and FedEx did not deliver at my house, they closed the case and I'm out $500. Please let me say that the seller has been really good with communication and is still wanting to help and I hope things turn out good. Great video by the way.
it'll be sad to no longer see the trail 90! discovered your account through those videos, and they helped me a lot with my own ct90. but I think 1k is a very generous price tag, and commend your willingness to pass along a machine you have an emotional connection to if it's not being ridden like it deserves.
Had same thing happen over an eight dollar washing machine part, courier said it was delivered to me and no one would do anything about it so me being the buyer..I ate it…good luck
Feedback for the video format. I think the non-editing was perfectly fine. Maybe there wasn't AS much polish as your usual format, but it's still great content and learned a ton as usual. For this particular video, I feel like you could have cut it in half and made 2 out of it. The video sort of had two different narratives (how to find parts, what's up with the bike collection/plans) and Jennie even mentioned it somewhat where I would have made the break. I don't think you would have had to edit either video, just cut then start the next story with an "When we last left off..." Just a thought.
Just wanted to say that you are extremely entertaining and great at what you do been watching since you fix the Lowe’s generator keep up the great work love the new content❤❤
I have had that exact usps problem. I never received an item that the tracking showed as delivered. I called the local post office and explained, and she said they have seen this happen with ebay specifically. She also confirmed that it was delivered to an address other than mine. You, as the seller, can verify where it was delivered, but you have to go locally, don't even bother with the usps 800 number. This is an old problem when printing usps labels on the eBay website that they never fixed.
I’ve never been to Granada Hills either but I did live in Stockton as well….for 21 years. I survived, lol…. Bought 2 motorcycles from Stockton Honda Yamaha (formally SHY), a 2000 CBR 600 and an ‘04 RC-51.
I had an 86' aero about 10 years ago and I absolutely loved it and I still miss it. I got rid of it because I wanted a motorcycle and didn't have space, but more importantly I couldn't find parts for it. Ironically I'm also from Wisconsin, we seem to have everything here. I have a Honda mower and I found out it's very similar with parts. If I had known this I probably would have kept my Aero
First thing. I believe there's a mod for flashers that don't work with led blinkers. Something about the led not pulling enough current so you need to add a resister or something. Second. I ordered something off ebay, got delivered, got all the notifications but it wasn't at my house. Emailed the seller, and the courier. I got a picture of the delivered item, but it was at a house across the road. Spoke to said neighbour, they denied it. Sent a picture of both the delivered item at wrong house, and one of my front door showing it was delivered at the wrong house. They chased the courier to cover cost of replacement and shipping.
Great video keep up the great work. Loved the off the cuff style. Yes. I need XL600r parts. Specifically the ignition switch assembly. I broke mine when i dropped my bike. It would be nice to have the helmet lock as well so i don't have to have 2 different keys.
Glad you liked the video. I have an ignition switch and key, but they are aftermarket so I don't blame you if you're not interested. But shoot me an email if you are and I'll get you some pics.
At The beginning Of The Video I Was Wondering Why You Looked Stressed Out, Than The Ebay Story, 1 Reason Why I Gave Up Doing Ebay,I had A Similar Problem. Long Story. Short Version. I Got A Neg Feedback I Quit Ebay. I Liked The Behind The Scenes Type Of Video,No Matter What You Guys Film I'll Keep Watching.
Quitting selling on ebay is a fine move. I've done it before myself because of the fees and it not being worth the effort. At that time we were making a lot more money from other things though. Finances changed so I stepped back into it. Overall it has been fine. just a couple issues like the one I mentioned.
@jenniesgarage I Dont Even Buy From Ebay Anymore, Switched To Amazon. Liked I Mentioned Before I Sell More At Our Yard Sales And No Fees Or Delivery Issues. PLUS I get Everything Free.
the rear turn signals are the same as my xr650l from 2015. They're still on the 650s and ruckuses made this year. The tooling that made those turn signals has paid for themselves a hundred times over by now.
They look just like the blinkers on my '21 300 Rally. And I owned a 94 650l also, identical to the '22 that was parked on the floor next to my Rally when I bought it.
If you have a website for your parts (eventually), you can include a handy-dandy card/with your item that says "Important fitting instructions - please read first". The recepient scans a unique QR code to read the instructions which are hidden from normal web searches to make sure they're doing it right and bingo you have a page view on your website and you know your item has been delivered to someone who is trying to fit your item. Not perfect, but a good indicator if it's been delivered.
I like the idea of getting the DR350 going because I'm a big fan of those bikes, but as a dirt only model it's not going to be worth as much as the dual sport version. Honestly, parting it out would make the most money but it's also the most work. As for the Trail 90/125, you are asking too little for that machine. I have a similar one and wouldn't let it go at that price. Best of luck, I have access to some of the DR350 plastics you might need too!
1, the videos are rad. 2, the guy flaking on you saved you time and money, for years i wanted a street registered 2 stroke, i had a few ktm 300s but never registered them, but then the time came and i found a ktm 200 exc, what a lil beast, half the weight of the 300s, and way quicker. I built that thing over a year, fabricated a custom ally bash guard, all new everything, registered it and rode it for a few months and realised what an idoit i was, a 2 stroke on the street isnt that great hahaha, I used to keep a bottle of oill in the air box but that only got me one fill up, it was fun but not that enjoyable. for some reason that 200 was taller than my 300s too so that was another pain in the butt about that bike and riding it on the street, one tippy toe on the ground is all i could get if i slid off the side of the seat enough. 4 strokes for the streets, 2 strokes for the sheets.
My mom used to make a majority of her income through ebay selling antiques and rare items from estate sales. She rarely uses it now because it's way to easy for buyers to scam. Ebay has shot themselves in the foot for anything not garbage. I'll never sell there for sure.
Jacob I completely agree with you, but here's the thing. I've also recently bought a number of things and they have been "delivered" but never got here. In those cases it wasn't ebay, but in every case the seller helped us out - it wasn't our fault either we honestly didn't receive the package. There's been a lot of employee theft at shipping companies lately. Both buyer and seller are victims most times. One package was over $500 and I KNOW the USPS employee STOLE it and have enough evidence to prove it wasn't delivered, but USPS keep dismissing the case despite multiple complaints. The best thing to do is take the loss, make sure the customer has a good experience, and keep selling. The other option is to lose more than that one income cause eBay/Paypal will cancel your ability to sell in some cases.
Make a jig for the air filters, lay the jig on the foam and cut. But I think it's a lot of time for little cash. I think your time can be spent better. Maybe a good project for the boy :)
I work at a motorcycle shop in Ohio. We make gaskets, etc whenever possible. We deal in old bikes specifically, parts wise. Cycles R Us in medina/ chippewa lake Ohio
So you can replace the thermal turn signal relay with an electronic one available at most parts stores,and led lights will work.there is an extra terminal on the relay,and you just run it to ground.converted my xr650 honda to all led lights.
i sell stuff on ebay in uk, not huge amounts but i have dealt with this.. And my findings thus far is that i always use tracked delivery methods and if someone says its not arrived and i have official tracking from any courier saying that it was delivered then ebay and paypal always side with the seller. I have been on the other side of it as the buyer and this happen and it basically means the courier has either stolen it or delivered it to wrong place and that place has stolen it. Its annoying but in that case its not the sellers fault and i don't chase them for a refund, sometimes they offer out of good will. So my advice is, it sounds like you get tracking when you send stuff, and that there isnt a one fix sorts all cases here. If someone came to me all with the issue and was really polite I'd prob try sort it out for them but if they come in all rude or aggressive then i'd probably just tell them 'on y'bike'
A more general about this video comment.. I think its probably fair to say most of us here that have been here a long time, we are not really here for your perfectly polished video on a topic (not that they are bad!!) - i think most of us are here cause we like camera girl lol... Nah we are here to hangout with you guys, its you two that make the channel - the bikes and stuff is just the thing the people i like on the internet do, they fiddle with bikes alot. I don't actually have any interest in bikes myself, only bike content i watch... But as i say, I actually here just to hang out with Jake and Camera Girl, cause they cool people. Not that I think there should never be edited content, there has been some epic 'series' on this channel
Ebay advice from a seller: just stick to the case input the tracking dude you have done your part don't sit worrying about it cus it will eat you up and its not worth it, you have done your part correctly it is not your fault.
Yeah, because I’m thinking their looking at any one civilian is a suspect and you may nearly match the description of a robbery that happened the evening prior and possibly be interrogated for several hours next thing you know your making friends with bubba behind bars until your proven innocent! I don’t blame you for having that feeling.
When you asked about living in Stockton, I automatically went to thinking of Stockton-on-Tees here in the UK, and, goodness me no way would I want to live there, and I guess the namesake there has a similar reputation!!! :P
I once went to my local Fiat dealer to pick up a part foe a friend. They were clearing their old stock on ebay bit by bit as they got chance. If I could have made an offer I would have bought the lot and spent the rest of my short (hopefully) working life selling it all.
That's very kind of the guy with the key. Top bloke. 👍 I've had it from both sides with eBay. Though not as a seller. I once brought something that wasn't delivered. The seller was basically calling me a lier. It turned out a week and a half after it was supposed to be delivered. Someone knocked on my door with it. They had delivered it to the right number, but a different street. And the property owners had been on holiday. Another time an expensive tool was sitting on my door step. The delivery company had taken a picture and marked it as delivered. As they couldn't find the address. I took it to the right address. Who were arguing with the delivery company for two hours, that they hadn't received it. There wasn't enough details in the picture to show where it had been delivered.
You can get led flashers pretty cheap. If there is a single dash indicator light you will need to bypass or disconnect it. If you have left and right indicator lights on the dash it should be fine
I've had stuff that I ordered say it had been delivered when it wasn't. When I contacted the seller they were able to find out it had been delivered to the wrong address and sent me another one. I figured the service that delivered it wrong settled up with the seller, at least I hope they did. Maybe it just has to be written off as the cost of doing business on the Internet. Sometimes stuff goes wrong...
eBay is great. I’ve ordered items & had them lost in mail before but I’ve never had to open a complaint. I always contact the seller and we see if we can figure out what’s happened. I had a track bar for a Jeep show up 3 weeks after it was supposed to be delivered. I’m in the right hand side of the nation in Elizabeth City NC & I can tell you USPS & UPS are sorry here. FedEx not so much. As far as parts go I know that GM & Ford all are consignment parts and dealers work in a parts network even with competitors to sell shelf parts. Honda is probably doing the same.
another parts tip I was put on to by a local shop is the "also used" feature on lots of catalogues. Often somewhere in the product description will bean option to see what other machines that part was used on. I've found a few parts that disappeared for a few production years only to return later.
Call your KTM, Beta, etc dealer, and ask which models were and are currently capable of being DOT legal. They know! You're dealer isn't the enemy, just an expensive friend!
Jenny's garage just take the VIN number tell him you're thinking about purchasing it and you want to make sure it's not stolen they will run the number AAA can even do that ✌️😀🍺

yeah that is what i do-- call a few offices they are goign to give you different stories based on who you get.
Yes i agree you should not have to pay for the post office screw ups. Maybe ship with insurance to cover yourself next time? I would probably refund the guy but make sure it cant bite you again.
My first scooter was a honda arrow 80. It was two stroke oil injected. If i stood on passenger pegs that thing would ride a wheelie till i let off. I road it more offroad than on road. I eventually broke the rear drive axle jumping it. So i then bought a 1988 honda elite 80. This was four stroke. Rsn good but had about half the power of the two stroke model. Unfortunately the elite 80 was stolen about 6 or 7 years after buying it. I been looking for another 1985 or so arrow 80. Im no spring chicken so i wont riding it offroad or jumping it. If you ever have a chance to get one pick it up. Is great on gas and foes a steady 45 with 2 people on it.
I've been to both Granada Hills and Stockton, many, many times... I personally wouldn't want to live in EITHER of them; but you can't smell Granada Hills from ten miles away, so if I had to choose, guess I'd be back in the SFV. Jake, don't sweat a visit to the CHP; your local office is so small, there won't be but maybe three "nice, friendly, helpful" people on duty... certainly not enough to simultaneously seize the bike and provide you a nice pair of S&W bracelets for being in possession of stolen property. 😜
Regarding items showing as "delivered" when they aren't. That has happened a number of times to me. UPS/Fedex/USPS all would show delivered. Well, where? It's not at my house. It's nice when they take a picture of the package when it's dropped off so there's no question. But it's happened to me where that picture was not my house. It's also happened to me where I'm the shipper. I have a rule. If it's over $50 I get insurance. Sometimes I think the delivery driver just doesn't feel like delivering it due to location and that package gets tossed in the nearest dumpster and marked delivered.
Hey Jake, I have a Honda goldwing that I outfitted with led bulbs, I got a solid state flasher, it connects same as original, and no current resistors are needed for the led bulbs
If you do not ship stuff with signed delivery you might get some lost mail and in general that is on the seller for not picking a better shipping solution. I only sell slightly more expensive things and qoute a higher shipping cost so I can use a signed for shipping method, if you sell rare parts that only you have get a better shipping option.
Had that with people say they haven't had goods delivered and I don't believe them. Easiest is just to refund and block from future sales. It's infuriating but stops him putting a lying feedback on you. Then consider making items signed for if that's a thing in U.S. Ebay only cares about their fees, neither buyers or sellers matter to them but will always side with the buyers because they generate money by buying from you.
I think sht happens sometimes.. i ordered a fuel filter and it didn't turn up, so told the seller and he sent another.. my replacement arrived quickly and i forgot about it.. 3 months later a packet turned up with the plastic wrapping all stretched like it was stuck down the back of a seat.. it was the original filter.. Our post services are useless in the uk.. many packages come late or with inspection rips/holes where someone clearly wants to see if its worth stealing.. drivers pull up outside, scan the packages without getting out the van and drive away with them, all on door cam..
For the indicators have you tried a corresponding resistor depending on the voltage of the bikes battery that should fix your blinking issue tricking it into thinking it’s a bulb not LED
Maybe avoid the Beta's. I've seen people around me have so many problems with them its crazy. Always some weird problem no one seems to be able to figure out. I'd say KTM has proven to have very good 300's but every generation has its good and bads so make sure you pick a good one.
Jacob, when we want to give you stuff or help you out, it's not charity. It's the community you've built continuing to want to support you so you can keep doing the things we like and be less worried about resources to do it. Think about it as others contributing to your success.

But yeah if a buyer can't understand that a seller shipped an item to them, the post office shows they had it, the post office says they delivered it and still the buyer wants to be mad at the seller? there is an obvious disconnect there logically and you can be mad at post office or your porch pirates or whoever you want-- but being mad at the seller is just wrong. Say a seller ships you a package and it is empty and there is nothing inside-- then yes that would be something you could be mad at a seller for and that would fall onthem.
You guys are the best thing since sliced soap. Greetings from not so sunny Scotland
I really enjoy the unedited vlog style videos. Always a treat to see a new video from you in my feed.
Lost an iPhone and the money that way in college. Amazon sellers take the loss too. Know first hand on that too. Have to take the L, unfortunately. Love y’all. Glad to see y’all back
Great story on the key!
Love your videos no matter how you do them or what things you talk about. This long video is a real treat thank you
I prefer the rambling unedited videos. It's like visiting with a friend in his garage.
Hey :)
I've been watching you guys since 2019 and glad to see you guys as always. You guys have given me a lot of inspiration for my projects, and I cannot thank you guys enough! Sucks to see what happened with the eBay ordeal, but I hope it'll be resolved soon. Take care!
This video worked great . Just you two out in garage , Jake telling us how it is , just perfect. And hopefully no hours of editing 🤞.
I buy a lot from eBay myself and since the pandemic I’ve found all my tracked packages are just dumped on the doorstep with no regard of value of the item inside. I can only imagine how much stuff disappears after the seller is told it’s delivered and before the buyer gets home .
Nice story Jake, thanks!
Hi Jake and Jen Love the key story! When someone gifts you something it is a blessing from above all good things are from above! One can see it in James 1! When we don't accept I have heard you take their blessing they offer you! God Bless so nice to look and see you with another video! Thanks!
Do you have a 350r Honda, preferably in the 90,s
I enjoy and support your channel 100% ! I would buy the CT 90/125 today but I live in Willis Texas.
One other thing, the only person that can claim insurance is you. The recipient can't get the insurance from the package. If it was priority, you have a default of $100 and you can get your money. But make good with the recipient so they will help you with USPS.
I think you can add a resistor in the line between the blinker-maker and the front signal lights. To make them blink again.
Great video yall are good people and fans will watch no matter if you edit or not
You can get a cheap laser cutter and cut a filter a minute with accuracy down to .1mm.
As for selling stuff that shows delivered and the customer says it isn't, your responsibility ends when you hand it off to the carrier. If the carrier says they delivered it, the customer should be taking it up with them. Some people won't understand that though and will make it your fault. If they can leave negative feedback or ruin your reputation, you need to take that into consideration and eat the cost when possible. It's bullshit but it's not worth the headache.
Thanks for the idea about the laser cutter. I hadn't thought of that. I will check them out. As far as ebay, as you say it comes down to whether or not $10 is worth a negative feedback. Maybe the package will still show up
I have had it where the courier will only deal with the person who bought the postage. This is where it falls down as the seller doesn't care as they have their money.
I think you should try an electric carving knife for your "homemade " filters. I have used them to cut foam materials for years. Usually works quite well.
The key coincidence is like a modern day equivalent of the old story (available in various flavours throughout the years) of the traveling salesman who was one day walking along a street in Plymouth, knocking on doors trying to sell his wares, and on the corner of a street he came across a public phone box and the phone inside was ringing. He decided to stop and pick up the phone only to be shocked to hear his wife in London asking for her sister after having accidentally dialed the wrong number which happened to be that very phone box! Love it!
Yes at times deliveries don't make it and it's not the buyers fault at all that the delivery company made a mistake. This exact thing happened to me two days ago with eBay. I bought a high performance SBC master engine rebuild kit and FedEx did not deliver at my house, they closed the case and I'm out $500. Please let me say that the seller has been really good with communication and is still wanting to help and I hope things turn out good. Great video by the way.
it'll be sad to no longer see the trail 90! discovered your account through those videos, and they helped me a lot with my own ct90. but I think 1k is a very generous price tag, and commend your willingness to pass along a machine you have an emotional connection to if it's not being ridden like it deserves.
Had same thing happen over an eight dollar washing machine part, courier said it was delivered to me and no one would do anything about it so me being the buyer..I ate it…good luck
Feedback for the video format. I think the non-editing was perfectly fine. Maybe there wasn't AS much polish as your usual format, but it's still great content and learned a ton as usual.
For this particular video, I feel like you could have cut it in half and made 2 out of it. The video sort of had two different narratives (how to find parts, what's up with the bike collection/plans) and Jennie even mentioned it somewhat where I would have made the break.
I don't think you would have had to edit either video, just cut then start the next story with an "When we last left off..." Just a thought.
You can make the blinker relay work with the led light by adding a resistor to the circuit. You can buy them in nice metal housings
Just wanted to say that you are extremely entertaining and great at what you do been watching since you fix the Lowe’s generator keep up the great work love the new content❤❤
I have had that exact usps problem. I never received an item that the tracking showed as delivered. I called the local post office and explained, and she said they have seen this happen with ebay specifically. She also confirmed that it was delivered to an address other than mine. You, as the seller, can verify where it was delivered, but you have to go locally, don't even bother with the usps 800 number. This is an old problem when printing usps labels on the eBay website that they never fixed.
I’ve never been to Granada Hills either but I did live in Stockton as well….for 21 years. I survived, lol…. Bought 2 motorcycles from Stockton Honda Yamaha (formally SHY), a 2000 CBR 600 and an ‘04 RC-51.
I had an 86' aero about 10 years ago and I absolutely loved it and I still miss it. I got rid of it because I wanted a motorcycle and didn't have space, but more importantly I couldn't find parts for it. Ironically I'm also from Wisconsin, we seem to have everything here. I have a Honda mower and I found out it's very similar with parts. If I had known this I probably would have kept my Aero
I have always liked scooters. We've had a ruckus and an elite 80, but this is our first 50cc 2 stroke. I think it will be fun.
Jake, the way you "were doing" videos worked for me. I enjoyed them and learned from them. Why are the not working for you?
I haven’t been to Grenada Hills either, but I definitely know Stockton.
Grenada Hills for me as well
First thing. I believe there's a mod for flashers that don't work with led blinkers. Something about the led not pulling enough current so you need to add a resister or something.
Second. I ordered something off ebay, got delivered, got all the notifications but it wasn't at my house. Emailed the seller, and the courier. I got a picture of the delivered item, but it was at a house across the road. Spoke to said neighbour, they denied it. Sent a picture of both the delivered item at wrong house, and one of my front door showing it was delivered at the wrong house. They chased the courier to cover cost of replacement and shipping.
Your neighbor is a prick
Adding a resistor to the circuit will make them work
Great video keep up the great work. Loved the off the cuff style. Yes. I need XL600r parts. Specifically the ignition switch assembly. I broke mine when i dropped my bike. It would be nice to have the helmet lock as well so i don't have to have 2 different keys.
Glad you liked the video. I have an ignition switch and key, but they are aftermarket so I don't blame you if you're not interested. But shoot me an email if you are and I'll get you some pics.
The James/Peach detour was perfect.
At The beginning Of The Video I Was Wondering Why You Looked Stressed Out, Than The Ebay Story, 1 Reason Why I Gave Up Doing Ebay,I had A Similar Problem. Long Story. Short Version. I Got A Neg Feedback I Quit Ebay. I Liked The Behind The Scenes Type Of Video,No Matter What You Guys Film I'll Keep Watching.
Quitting selling on ebay is a fine move. I've done it before myself because of the fees and it not being worth the effort. At that time we were making a lot more money from other things though. Finances changed so I stepped back into it. Overall it has been fine. just a couple issues like the one I mentioned.
@jenniesgarage I Dont Even Buy From Ebay Anymore, Switched To Amazon. Liked I Mentioned Before I Sell More At Our Yard Sales And No Fees Or Delivery Issues. PLUS I get Everything Free.
I like your misses! alot couriers should have a photo of it at the door!
This is why I don't see on ebay anymore since they stopped seller being able to leave negative feedback for scammers.
the rear turn signals are the same as my xr650l from 2015. They're still on the 650s and ruckuses made this year. The tooling that made those turn signals has paid for themselves a hundred times over by now.
They look just like the blinkers on my '21 300 Rally. And I owned a 94 650l also, identical to the '22 that was parked on the floor next to my Rally when I bought it.
If you have a website for your parts (eventually), you can include a handy-dandy card/with your item that says "Important fitting instructions - please read first". The recepient scans a unique QR code to read the instructions which are hidden from normal web searches to make sure they're doing it right and bingo you have a page view on your website and you know your item has been delivered to someone who is trying to fit your item. Not perfect, but a good indicator if it's been delivered.
I like the idea of getting the DR350 going because I'm a big fan of those bikes, but as a dirt only model it's not going to be worth as much as the dual sport version. Honestly, parting it out would make the most money but it's also the most work. As for the Trail 90/125, you are asking too little for that machine. I have a similar one and wouldn't let it go at that price. Best of luck, I have access to some of the DR350 plastics you might need too!
1, the videos are rad. 2, the guy flaking on you saved you time and money, for years i wanted a street registered 2 stroke,
i had a few ktm 300s but never registered them, but then the time came and i found a ktm 200 exc, what a lil beast, half the weight of the 300s, and way quicker.
I built that thing over a year, fabricated a custom ally bash guard, all new everything, registered it and rode it for a few months and realised what an idoit i was,
a 2 stroke on the street isnt that great hahaha,
I used to keep a bottle of oill in the air box but that only got me one fill up, it was fun but not that enjoyable.
for some reason that 200 was taller than my 300s too so that was another pain in the butt about that bike and riding it on the street, one tippy toe on the ground is all i could get if i slid off the side of the seat enough.
4 strokes for the streets, 2 strokes for the sheets.
My mom used to make a majority of her income through ebay selling antiques and rare items from estate sales. She rarely uses it now because it's way to easy for buyers to scam. Ebay has shot themselves in the foot for anything not garbage. I'll never sell there for sure.
Love you alls videos-anyway you choose to make them. Hope the dr is not stolen, my bet is that it is not.
Thanks Owen Wilsons brother.
Jacob I completely agree with you, but here's the thing. I've also recently bought a number of things and they have been "delivered" but never got here. In those cases it wasn't ebay, but in every case the seller helped us out - it wasn't our fault either we honestly didn't receive the package. There's been a lot of employee theft at shipping companies lately. Both buyer and seller are victims most times. One package was over $500 and I KNOW the USPS employee STOLE it and have enough evidence to prove it wasn't delivered, but USPS keep dismissing the case despite multiple complaints. The best thing to do is take the loss, make sure the customer has a good experience, and keep selling. The other option is to lose more than that one income cause eBay/Paypal will cancel your ability to sell in some cases.
Make a jig for the air filters, lay the jig on the foam and cut. But I think it's a lot of time for little cash. I think your time can be spent better. Maybe a good project for the boy :)
I love the longer vids guys
you can put some in line resistors in the indicator wiring to make the flashers work, or you can use a relay designed for led lamps
Very cool the key guy did that 👏
I work at a motorcycle shop in Ohio. We make gaskets, etc whenever possible. We deal in old bikes specifically, parts wise. Cycles R Us in medina/ chippewa lake Ohio
Completely with you on the CHP! I'd rather choke on my own spit than visit a PD station.
So you can replace the thermal turn signal relay with an electronic one available at most parts stores,and led lights will work.there is an extra terminal on the relay,and you just run it to ground.converted my xr650 honda to all led lights.
I'm here for the stockton slander
I used to work in Stockton. Can confirm, not a great place! Lol. Thanks for the video
long format with little edits are good.
i sell stuff on ebay in uk, not huge amounts but i have dealt with this.. And my findings thus far is that i always use tracked delivery methods and if someone says its not arrived and i have official tracking from any courier saying that it was delivered then ebay and paypal always side with the seller. I have been on the other side of it as the buyer and this happen and it basically means the courier has either stolen it or delivered it to wrong place and that place has stolen it. Its annoying but in that case its not the sellers fault and i don't chase them for a refund, sometimes they offer out of good will. So my advice is, it sounds like you get tracking when you send stuff, and that there isnt a one fix sorts all cases here. If someone came to me all with the issue and was really polite I'd prob try sort it out for them but if they come in all rude or aggressive then i'd probably just tell them 'on y'bike'
A more general about this video comment.. I think its probably fair to say most of us here that have been here a long time, we are not really here for your perfectly polished video on a topic (not that they are bad!!) - i think most of us are here cause we like camera girl lol... Nah we are here to hangout with you guys, its you two that make the channel - the bikes and stuff is just the thing the people i like on the internet do, they fiddle with bikes alot. I don't actually have any interest in bikes myself, only bike content i watch... But as i say, I actually here just to hang out with Jake and Camera Girl, cause they cool people.
Not that I think there should never be edited content, there has been some epic 'series' on this channel
Ebay advice from a seller:
just stick to the case input the tracking dude you have done your part don't sit worrying about it cus it will eat you up and its not worth it, you have done your part correctly it is not your fault.
Yeah, because I’m thinking their looking at any one civilian is a suspect and you may nearly match the description of a robbery that happened the evening prior and possibly be interrogated for several hours next thing you know your making friends with bubba behind bars until your proven innocent! I don’t blame you for having that feeling.
When you asked about living in Stockton, I automatically went to thinking of Stockton-on-Tees here in the UK, and, goodness me no way would I want to live there, and I guess the namesake there has a similar reputation!!! :P
I once went to my local Fiat dealer to pick up a part foe a friend. They were clearing their old stock on ebay bit by bit as they got chance. If I could have made an offer I would have bought the lot and spent the rest of my short (hopefully) working life selling it all.
That's very kind of the guy with the key. Top bloke. 👍
I've had it from both sides with eBay. Though not as a seller.
I once brought something that wasn't delivered. The seller was basically calling me a lier.
It turned out a week and a half after it was supposed to be delivered. Someone knocked on my door with it. They had delivered it to the right number, but a different street. And the property owners had been on holiday.
Another time an expensive tool was sitting on my door step. The delivery company had taken a picture and marked it as delivered. As they couldn't find the address.
I took it to the right address. Who were arguing with the delivery company for two hours, that they hadn't received it.
There wasn't enough details in the picture to show where it had been delivered.
You can get led flashers pretty cheap. If there is a single dash indicator light you will need to bypass or disconnect it. If you have left and right indicator lights on the dash it should be fine
I've had stuff that I ordered say it had been delivered when it wasn't. When I contacted the seller they were able to find out it had been delivered to the wrong address and sent me another one.
I figured the service that delivered it wrong settled up with the seller, at least I hope they did.
Maybe it just has to be written off as the cost of doing business on the Internet. Sometimes stuff goes wrong...
Best show yet
eBay is great. I’ve ordered items & had them lost in mail before but I’ve never had to open a complaint. I always contact the seller and we see if we can figure out what’s happened. I had a track bar for a Jeep show up 3 weeks after it was supposed to be delivered. I’m in the right hand side of the nation in Elizabeth City NC & I can tell you USPS & UPS are sorry here. FedEx not so
much. As far as parts go I know that GM & Ford all are consignment parts and dealers work in a parts network even with competitors to sell shelf parts. Honda is probably doing the same.
Hey Jake sorry mate I see murdoch 😅 from A team with you wearing the cap 😂.keep up the great videos ❤
another parts tip I was put on to by a local shop is the "also used" feature on lots of catalogues. Often somewhere in the product description will bean option to see what other machines that part was used on. I've found a few parts that disappeared for a few production years only to return later.
Call your KTM, Beta, etc dealer, and ask which models were and are currently capable of being DOT legal. They know! You're dealer isn't the enemy, just an expensive friend!
Jenny's garage just take the VIN number tell him you're thinking about purchasing it and you want to make sure it's not stolen they will run the number AAA can even do that ✌️😀🍺
yeah that is what i do-- call a few offices they are goign to give you different stories based on who you get.
That was a great story.
Yes i agree you should not have to pay for the post office screw ups. Maybe ship with insurance to cover yourself next time? I would probably refund the guy but make sure it cant bite you again.
My first scooter was a honda arrow 80. It was two stroke oil injected. If i stood on passenger pegs that thing would ride a wheelie till i let off. I road it more offroad than on road. I eventually broke the rear drive axle jumping it. So i then bought a 1988 honda elite 80. This was four stroke. Rsn good but had about half the power of the two stroke model.
Unfortunately the elite 80 was stolen about 6 or 7 years after buying it.
I been looking for another 1985 or so arrow 80. Im no spring chicken so i wont riding it offroad or jumping it. If you ever have a chance to get one pick it up. Is great on gas and foes a steady 45 with 2 people on it.
You can check the vin # on various websites to see if it’s stolen or other info. I’ve come across the same dilemma when dealing without a ownership
I bought an aftermarket flasher relay for my honda motorcycles on amazon that works with LED lights.
I've been to both Granada Hills and Stockton, many, many times... I personally wouldn't want to live in EITHER of them; but you can't smell Granada Hills from ten miles away, so if I had to choose, guess I'd be back in the SFV.
Jake, don't sweat a visit to the CHP; your local office is so small, there won't be but maybe three "nice, friendly, helpful" people on duty... certainly not enough to simultaneously seize the bike and provide you a nice pair of S&W bracelets for being in possession of stolen property. 😜
Very nice!
Best way to cut foam like that is a hot wire, that is vertical like a band saw!
Great video once again! What is the cable coming out of the back of your hat? Is it a mic or something? Keep up the great work! Love from Turkey.
Regarding items showing as "delivered" when they aren't. That has happened a number of times to me. UPS/Fedex/USPS all would show delivered. Well, where? It's not at my house. It's nice when they take a picture of the package when it's dropped off so there's no question. But it's happened to me where that picture was not my house. It's also happened to me where I'm the shipper. I have a rule. If it's over $50 I get insurance. Sometimes I think the delivery driver just doesn't feel like delivering it due to location and that package gets tossed in the nearest dumpster and marked delivered.
Hey Jake, I have a Honda goldwing that I outfitted with led bulbs, I got a solid state flasher, it connects same as original, and no current resistors are needed for the led bulbs
If you do not ship stuff with signed delivery you might get some lost mail and in general that is on the seller for not picking a better shipping solution. I only sell slightly more expensive things and qoute a higher shipping cost so I can use a signed for shipping method, if you sell rare parts that only you have get a better shipping option.
Had that with people say they haven't had goods delivered and I don't believe them. Easiest is just to refund and block from future sales. It's infuriating but stops him putting a lying feedback on you. Then consider making items signed for if that's a thing in U.S. Ebay only cares about their fees, neither buyers or sellers matter to them but will always side with the buyers because they generate money by buying from you.
I think sht happens sometimes.. i ordered a fuel filter and it didn't turn up, so told the seller and he sent another.. my replacement arrived quickly and i forgot about it.. 3 months later a packet turned up with the plastic wrapping all stretched like it was stuck down the back of a seat.. it was the original filter..
Our post services are useless in the uk.. many packages come late or with inspection rips/holes where someone clearly wants to see if its worth stealing.. drivers pull up outside, scan the packages without getting out the van and drive away with them, all on door cam..
Definitely sell those air filters for $20 plus shipping for hand made rare air filters.
It's the same with automotive dealers, they can search inventory of other dealers.
you are going to make dozens of dollars selling those
For the indicators have you tried a corresponding resistor depending on the voltage of the bikes battery that should fix your blinking issue tricking it into thinking it’s a bulb not LED
I nearly bought a suzuki jimny aerial from ali express. Turns out they were lhd only, I never would have known.
That's a good price for the CT90, someone will snap it up!
I think i am interested in the honda ! sonoma county CA
Maybe avoid the Beta's.
I've seen people around me have so many problems with them its crazy.
Always some weird problem no one seems to be able to figure out.
I'd say KTM has proven to have very good 300's but every generation has its good and bads so make sure you pick a good one.
