There is some dude on ebay, irondragonzee, who has had a pair of stock BA pipes for sale at $350 + $35 shipping. I wrote him last year and told him that he needed to drop the price if he wanted to sell them. He replied rather irate and told me to mind my on business. This is hilarious. I just wanted to help a fellow ebayer out by letting him know that no one wanted these pipes and they could be bought at the dealer for $5 less than his price, but he rebuked me. I wrote him again a couple months ago to offer him $20 and he got violently defensive.
He's in Oregon, Soren??? Is that you???

Hey Mark,
Yeah, I think it's Soren. Trying to recoup money from fishtails and the mods.
When you leaving Yakuska? Any chance of going to Memphis or Pensacola? Keep us posted.

Let's 'Ask Buyer a Question' as to why these are being sold for more used than you can get from a dealer and note that many folks take them off 'cause they're too quiet anyway...

Maybe thay are off a 100'th aniversary edition bike? That might make them as rare as the axe Abraham Lincoln used to split fence rails. Of course, it's had 9 new handles and 3 new heads since then...

For half his asking price. Tell him how much money he could make then!
That's great.
Someone post the link, I tried searching through his stuff, but after about 13 pages I gave up.
Let's bust his nads some shall we?

Told you, Pat! I sent a very nice note to him last summer, suggesting he lower the price if he wanted to sell them. Again this April, I sent a couple more informative reasons for him to lower the price. He asked if there was any other part of his life I could straighten out for him.
Well, I sent another note in June asking if those pipes were still listed and why didn't they sell since they were only $10 over retail? My chair started to smolder after he set my @** on fire.

You do realize we are going to see this guy wielding a high power rifle up in some clock tower sooner than later, right? I sent him a note asking why the pipes were so expensive and that I know I can get a pair for $100 plus shipping!!  I'll send him the link when he responds!

Just asked him this question:
Great looking pipes off a great looking bike.
Why are you selling them a price higher than dealer list?
Please advise.
Wonder what his answer will be.

Where you at around Denver, Ben? A good buddy lives on the east-facing side of a mountain overlooking 70 as it comes from Denver. Not too far past Evergreen. Actually bought my BA from a guy out there in '04.

You probably won't get an answer right away - I think his auctions now read that he will be out of town until Sept 6th.
I say we load up his inbox......?

I'm just wondering, why do we care about this guy and his over priced exhaust pipes? He's like the gas station that sets it's prices ten cents higher than all the other stations in the neighborhood. We just drive by, we don't beat it to death on the forum.
We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.

I'm doing it just for the heck of it, cause I can, cause he's got a track record of being a jerkoff - look at his feedback, because I'm childish and I'm having fun....
Slightly off topic - I have contacted sellers about various problems with their auctions over the years and most have responded favorably and a few have even sent me freebies.
