ebay:please tell me if I am seeing this right ?

[TECATE CRAZE]

I was looking at this auction... and I scrolled down and saw the shipping cost was $125.00 and I could not believe my eyes ! I do not know where that New Castle is ... we even havea New Castle in my state but there is no way I am paying $125.00 for shipping only for just a frame . please tell me if my eyes are playing tricks on me !

He has to build a crate and pay for the weight of the crate. I dont know i have never shipped over 35lbs .

[TECATE CRAZE]

so... I can't win... the guy at the salvage yards wants $400.00 and this guy wants $125.00 for shipping , both too much for me to pay just for a frame but maybe that is the going prices for 1985/86 frames I really do not know this is all new to me . so maybe someone can shed some light on this . and let me know what is the going prices on frame and shipping .

[ange]

pretty sure that is a quad frame, not a 85/86 trike frame

[kilabeez0]

that thing looks like garbage. it has been welded and other stuff, i'd be patient and keep looking. what do u need a frame for anyway?

[Tri-ZNate]

That looks like a quad frame to me too. I havent seen many trike frames like that

Thats a trx 250r frame. A little more expensive to ship. You should be able to get a frame shipped to you for about 35 to 60 from someone.

Heres a couple, both $40 to ship

sorry guys I was trying to post a reply when my power went out when I was first looking at the auction there was no picture at all... so either my computer or msn or cable modum sucks or he did not have the picture up yet , I just pulled it up and saw the picture and it's clearly a trx250r frame .

[TECATE CRAZE]

maybe it's time again to call comcast back out ! this would be the 11th time in the last 60 days . and they still can not get it right . and just think I pay $45.00 a month for cable modem

[TECATE CRAZE]

I just wish people could take the time out and put the correct description in the auction like in this case if there was no picture they could had put in the description "Honda TRX250r 1986 frame 86" or even fourtraxs or four wheeler .but then agian if my stuff was working right ...there would not even be this here post . :rolleyes:

[freaksfix]

I have an 85 and an 86 frame in my shed.. I'll take $100 shipped for either one, PM me if you need one....

[TECATE CRAZE]

thank you ... I will keep that in mind .

[TECATE CRAZE]

problem with shipping a frame is the size. you get slapped for a cubing sharge.

L x W x H / 1728 x10 ground or x15 air = cubic weight.

ex: Frame that weighs 50 lbs and measures 40 x 24 x 24 = 23040

devided by 1728 = 13.33

x 10 shipped via grouns = 133.3 lbs

PS: Yes.. i know my dimensions are all wrong and the actual weight is also.. but this gives you an idea !!!

[TimSr]

I ship a lot of frames, and if he got $125 shipping, then he measured the dimensions wrong or tried to box it, and is pricing it as oversize 3. By the way, Ive shipped a TRX250R frame too, which also falls within oversize 2. Oversize 2 is billed at 70 lbs whether its 40 lbs or 60 lbs. You also have to pay an extra $5 handling fee if its not in a box, but if you box it, the dimensions will be too large. If he just shrinkwraps it, he should be able to ship it anywhere in the cont. US for under $50. The first ATV frame I have ever sold that would not fit within oversize 2 dimensions is an LTF500.

[Dammit!]

I hate how people put 85-86 frame in these auctions. They are not the same thing.

But everybody should be a trike nut. :)

i had a tri-z frame and swingarm shipped from montana to ct for $35.it was not in a crate or a box.it just had a cardboard tag with the destination on it.it also went UPS.i may have an extra 250r frame laying around somewhere.

[Power_Ram100]

I work for UPS and $125 is a possible price for shipping something that big. Its considered a Irregular. It cant go on the belt. If you ship a irreg it will cost alot more. WHEN YOU SHIP STUFF PACK IT REAL GOOD!! I see lots of broken stuff come through.
