1914 racing yardlong limited copies now available

[silentgreyfello]

You socialist bastards. If you don't like his price, don't buy it! Who gives you the authority to dictate what someone can sell something for? What I see this coming down to is some poor MF'ers that don't have the ambition to go out and work their a$$es off, and are now jealous that they can't buy one, or that someone is going to PROFIT. I don't give a rat's a$$ what someone paid for a motorcycle or a part when they go to sell it; I will pay what it is worth to me. Free market will dictate whether it sells.

We all make choices in life, some good, some bad. I think the whiners here have made bad economic choices in their life, and want everything handed to them, as they moan in their own pitty. If I owned that yardlong, I would be so greedy, I wouldn't make copies at all... so, thank you Barry for offering them up! That is the coolest yardlong ever, and I have seen a lot of them. In fact, I saw one at Davenport two years ago change hands for $20G. I would rather have a copy of Barry's than that particular photo, and save $18,500. Have a good evening.

Default World's highest priced seat!

The guy was offended when I told him he was crazy. Maybe I am behind the times on this one, but I bought one identical at Davenport for $300. I know one can ask whatever you want, but $3900? Maybe he meant Yen.

Seems to be a little schizophrenia at work here!

LOL! Yeah, I knew right after I posted about the overpriced seat that it goes against my capitalistic ideals. I guess I was secretly wishing that it was only $300 so that I could buy it. Call me a hypocrite, I deserve it!

I work 50-90 hours a week. Am I not working my ass off? I have been working my job for 46 years. Am I jealous that someone will pay a highly inflated $1,500.00 price for a photo that would cost less than 50 bucks to make? No. I am pissed off at PROFITERS that buy something then resell it, or a copy of it, at exorbitantly high prices. That is gouging. Practices like this are what drives the cost of out hobby out of the reach of people who work their butts off at low paying jobs. I am sure we all know a young man with a wife and baby who would love to own an old bike. But 15-30 grand isn't in their bank account. Some peoples attitude is, Oh well. Who gives a **** about them. Let them collect bottle caps. I have mine and thats all I care about.

[Barry Brown]

Hmmmm.... is there money to be made in bottle caps?

It better become a glory market soon, because I've got a serious coffee can full of 'church keys' to cash in.

Wanna see my Schlitz?

Only if they are German.

I have been reading this thread for some time now & I believe that Barry gave EVERYONE who is a member on this forum the " authority to dictate what someone can sell something for " When he decided to list this thread in "PARKING LOT CHATTER " instead of "FOR SALE" All Barry is doing is seeing what others think about his pricing & selling of a phot copy of a picture. If he truley felt that his price was fair & justified foir a photo copy picture he would have listed it in the "FOR SALE " section & noone would have the authority to dictate their opinion on what someone can sell something for, but since Barry has chosen to Solicit the opions of members this is what he has requested, by posting in this section of the forum that's all.

If you work an avg of 70 hours per week, and make $30 per hour in LA, then with overtime, you are making $2500+ per week, $130K per year. How come you don't have the money to finish your supposed 36 knuck? And if you work that hard, and blog this much, (2800 posts this site, 5400 on CAIMG for starters) just WHEN do you sleep? Unless you are blogging at work, then you wouldn't be working vey hard, would you? Guys have been buying/selling for profit forever, and you have too, so get over it. Until OneBigAssMistakeAmerica changes us to a socialistic state, it is legal to profit. Have you ever sold something for more than what you paid, Chris? Of course you have. BTW, if you aren't making $30 per hour in LA, you are really lazy, or never armed yourself with any skills to speak of.

[Barry Brown]

HA HA ! Great comment , my thoughts exactly!

[aka HAWG]

silentgreyfello - if you have time go back and read chris's posts, most of them are a complete waste of form space as it seems he is posting just to see himself post. but yes some are of importance ie factory photo's he post

point in case I posted looking for topper parts and his reply was to use golf cart parts (- in his mind as long as not in judging wrong parts are ok). at no time did I ask if golf cart parts were acceptable or useable - irrelevant information

Why are you guy's Bashing Chris, & why would anyone care how much money he makes & what he decides to do with it ???
Barry asked what the members opinions were on his overpriced Photo copies that's why it was posted here & not For sale. If you don't like a persons opion that's cool , but do you really need to attack someone because they honestly state how they feel after being asked ???
Also who cares how many post a person makes Just because a person dosen't open his mouth don't mean he ain't got something to say.
Have a Nice Day & keep the rubber side down !!!

On the job I am working at this time I am working 60 hour weeks. I earn $30.13 and hour. After deductions I take home $1,207.17 a week. My mortgage is $2,950.00 a month. Utilities, phone, INTERNET, ETC is another $500.00 a month. Add Gas, food, clothes, union dues, and and bunch of other crap and there isn't much left. Also the doctor bills for my Ole Lady's cancer surgery, medications, chemotherapy, ETC. are another big expense. Also on this job I work two weeks on and one week off. I have periods of unemployment during the year due to the nature of the business. I wish I made $130,000.00 but that is a long way from my actual earnings.
As for THEONEBIGASSMISTAKE he is already in office.

Don't worry about anything AKA Hawg says. For some reason he has made his lifes ambition to try to belittle me. I must have pissed in his canteen at one time and he can't get over it.

Barry, I'm still curious as to who signs these photographs?
