Selling Bottom End on eBay Advice

[wwholden]

I got my hands on a bottom end of a Blaster. Everything seems to be in working order. Just has a peice of the casting broke off where the clutch spring retains itslef. Prolly caused from the chain popping off. Anyway Im looking to get the most $$$$ out of it to support my blaster build. Would I get more money if I parted out the bottom end? Or is there not that much of a difference and not worth the extra time?

depends if you can prove the crank is still within specs, and this is a bolt on a top-end and ride ????
if not, selling the csaes and transmission seperately may garner you more loot ??? but that also depends on how long/many times you want to keep relisting it

i usually try to start auctions at about 1/2 price of what i'd like to receive, and only set a reserve price if i'm not willing to except less, or no hurry to sale it.
if you want a quick sale, start the price low, with no reserve,
if it's worth anything, and in demand, it will usually bring a fair price

when you decide on a price, add the calculated seller fees to that amount, and predetermine actual shipping and handling costs so you don't get burnt on that either.
if you live on the east coast, calculate shipping to cali.
then use "same price" shipping for all.

do not get caught up with too many pics, they cost after the first one, clean, clean, clean it before taking and posting the pics
but do describe it in the best details you can, with side to side crank play measurements if possible

Thanks for the info. So your saying it probobly best to sell it as a whole? Also side to side play? How to I measure that. Your not talking about the rod to crank side to side play are you?

yes, side to side rod play has specs, measured with feeler gauges on one side only, specs/procedure are in the manual available in the general suppot section
