Default Ebay SCORE !!!!!

I just got my best offer accepted on a brand new OEM chain for my ZR1100. List price is $311.53 and he had it for $199.99 or best offer.

I put in an offer of $100 and it was accepted
Item number: 370143783616

I also picked up brand new front and rear sprockets from a Kawasaki Triple buddy for $65 for the pair

When did they add the "Best Offer" option? Its pretty cool.

I found a couple nice leather ICON/JR jackets that are pretty expensive, but it said below he would take much less. He just had to advertise them under sticker price. I might go for it...

Awesome!

I scored some Frank Thomas Aqua Street Boots on ebay last week for 28.50 and they are new!

I had to find another pair of boots since I busted out the sole on the left boot on my others.

I've already been trying to break them in. They're the stiffest boot I've worn so far and the soles are thinner. I can't tip toe on both sides of the bike on these, so I'm back to putting the ball of one foot down again.

Congrats, but his list price was way high to begin with. I don't think I've ever paid more than $150 for a chain, and that's for gold X-rings.

It's an option for the seller. They can choose just "buy it now" or "buy it now / best offer".

I got my Teknic leather jacket and two pair of sliders jeans for $200 shipped by emailing a seller thru ebay and making an offer on one of his sales.

That is the correct list price for a Kawasaki OEM chain. It was worth my offer to get it as I have over 23K on the original chain. I know it's the original chain because my friend Dave purchased the ZR1100 brand new and sold it to Paul. I work with both of them so I have a complete history on the bike.

Great deal on the boots. Since your doing one foot down, just remember which way to lean

I usually put the left foot down...or should I say the ball of the left foot. You can tell by looking at the bottom of my old boots and tell considering that the bottom of the left boot is slick and the right still looks good.

Eric told me I need to switch back and forth instead of wearing one out well before the other.
