NEW number plates

[hrc85250r]

sorry for posting 2 threads in a row, but i gotta see if there is an interest for number plates....i have a reliable lead on some number plates...brand new number plates(around 40-50) that a friends dad has in the attic of his garage, theres supposedly 3 good size boxes of these..i am not promising anything, but if you are interested let me know as he is going to want a good $$$ for this stuff, as hes in his forties and hes not stupid...

if i buy them i want to be able to sell them ASAP to recover my cash and so i can have one! :D ...

just let me know on this post and if there is enough interest i will get them...

[twgranger]

[Jeb]

Depending on the style, I might be in on a couple red or green ones.

[LonesomeTriZ]

If there is a red one that will fit a Tri Z I will take it.

[Apollo]

If you have red or white ones, let me know. I'll take a green one too.

[Lots_Of_Nothing]

[250RNUT]

[hrc85250r]

[Lots_Of_Nothing]

[ange]

[350Xccelerator]

[TrikerR]

[ScottZJ]

I will just buy whats left, how about that? :)

[YTZ250#1]

I think you should post a few pics. so everyone can see what your trying to sell.You might want to post a price on them to.

[hrc85250r]

ok guys, heres the deal....they are going to probly be like 60$ a piece or around that...he wants 300$ for the boxes of 40-ish number plates....that about what he paid for them back in the day and he just wants his money back from them...they are exactly the same as the maier one on ebay(thanks to deathman for showing me the auction) and they are mostly white with a few red and a couple in green? maybe...it was dark and i was on a ladder in his attic so i couldnt tell very good, but i grabbed one of the white ones and it is just like the ebay maier one...they arent in bags, but there is probably a bunch of those fork tube connector parts in the bottom, i coupld only see a few(probly like10) from where i was on the ladder, but im sure there are more....thanks for the inteest guys...and i will keep you posted when i get them, probly in a couple days....nobody is going to buy them from under me cause nobody else knows about you guys that knows him, so no worries! ill have them soon.....

[NICKG]

300 /40 ain't 60 btw....its $7.50 each leaving you a nice $52.50 profit on each...keep em, i look elsewhere

[hrc85250r]

haha im not selling all of them....sorry dude...its just oreliminary...plus ll cut you guys deals nayways, sorry if i offended you...

[Mr. Sandman]

Same here, if they're the old school vented style in red for an 85 250R, put me down for one.

[350x'inNY]

If they are like Howard's on ebay (a91explorer4x4 ??) then they are for the "fat tire" 250R ... possibly the older Tecate too.

I'm in NY.... I can drive up and pick up a few! Then swing by Holic's for some numbers! Let me know! Glad some other's picked up on the math! Guess having a teacher on here is wearing off! :p

Bruce

[twgranger]

no yellow?? If not ill take a white one.

[hrc85250r]

they arent like that one, they are like the maier one that was on there

[twgranger]

Are they like this one? Witch disappeared off ebay :rolleyes:

[hrc85250r]

Yup, Except Not In Bags

[NICKG]

well so you guys know, you can find these pretty easily by calling older bike shops(bicycle shops) to see if they have bmx plates still, they are the same...in fact they were originally intended to be used on them, not motorcycles or atv's...hated to tell a secret like that but gouging is the only thing I would call what this guy wants to do

[Trikeaholic]

I think the BMX ones are smaller, but that is just from what I have seen. I have the same Maier plate on my 83R, its ok, but its no UFO! It is funny how the numberplate is now the part to go "ga-ga" over. First is was the holy Cal-Fab, then the christ like wescoast, now the holy grail, the number plate!!

[dirtface]

I like a number plate as much as the next person. But I'm with Nickg, this number plate stuff is getting way out of hand. There really isn't alot to one of those plates, and they are going for hundreds of dollars. Alot of the new ones you see on Ebay have stress cracks around the rivets.

[chris200x]

I guess nobody rides at night anymore. :(

[hrc85250r]

****edited****.... and im not trying to rip people off, i need to pay bills, and they were probably the same price as that anyways....

[hrc85250r]

oh yeah, and nickg...find one of these at a bmx shop, take a picture and show us how they are exactly the same....they arent....

[NICKG]

DUDE, YOU ARE A DICK.... and im not trying to rip people off, i need to pay bills, and they were probably the same price as that anyways....
dude, they were 9.99 each then. I will just go over to the local bike shop(where I used to get them) ,buy the 15 they have in the back and see you $60 with a sale 12.95 each . there is a point where making $ is ok...$52.50 each profit is waaayyy outa control, especially seeing that you can get them if you open your eyes and look...heck if you can sell them for that, I wil have them remade by maier and STILL under sell you by $30 and have all the colors, I would think that maybe you should have not said what they cost you, simple foot in mouth syndrome. trike', Maier made the ones sold by most bmx shops under several brands such as zeronine. they were pretty much the guys for these(aside from ufo)

[trikezilla]

ANYTHING THAT WILL FIT AN 83 R!!!!!!!! almost any color will do....just not like pink or yellow lol KEEP US POSTED MAN!!

[Jeb]

That's what I was going to say. There were only around $10 when they were brand new back in the day.

Watch the name calling in this post. It's showing signs of spiraling toward a lockdown. :eek:

I'd like to have a red and/or a green one. I like that style of the white one someone posted earlier and dont have one like that. but not at $60 each. drop me a pm with your best price and pics if ya got em.

Also, i've got a few extra petty numbers I can part with. In fact, let me trade you some numbers for your new plate for a plate for me!! ;) :naughty:

The bmx plates are way smaller, they are not the same!

[NICKG]

guys see the trend here? I told you guys for a long time about those tank covers, trust me on this. when guys come on and GOUGE THE CRAP on these, think.These parts are still around, I think that maier still even makes them in one shape or another. alot of the parts are arounsd in place near you, you just have to look. don't think they are all gone, because they aren't. Guys like this one are taking advantage of people not knowing

[NICKG]

The bmx plates are way smaller, they are not the same!
depends on what size you bought, I know, that is where I bought mine when I raced trikes. having been big into bmx before atv's, I have bought say 100 or more of them. I always used the large square, vented ones for the redline bars i ran

[NICKG]

well i did the math, I can make and sell these with a minimum order(50 pcs) for about 35 each in any color Maier currently makes. I have looked carefully into having some things made previously and just tok out my qoutes from last year

[ClayW]

Look, some of you guys need to back off some. Dang. The guy finds a stockpile of hard to find stuff ( number plates ). With alot of your theories on original pricing, I should be able to get a complete speedo set up for my 350X for cheap. Hell no. They go for well over $150+. Give me a break. If the guy wants to make some money off them who cares. If you want one, pony up. If you dont or dont like the price, step off. No need to slam or rip a guy for this. I personally wouldnt want one if they were free. I dont like them. But if I did, $60 bucks isnt too bad compared to what they go for on Ebay. Last one I saw the other day was up well over $100. With some of your theories on pricing, a old Shelby Cobra should only be worth $8000. Hell thats what they sold for new. Try $100,000. Some things increase in value as they become old & scarce. After all these are original old school stuff. Not remans.Give me a break. :beer

[deathman53]

think about this, vented dirtbike number plates sell for $80. They have similar material as the trike number plates.

[Trikeaholic]

GAWD this is gettin moronic.

[ClayW]

Tell me about it. :(

[hrc85250r]

well you guys, first i have to say thanks for backing me up clayw and deathman....but if some of you guys want to have them remade or whatever go ahead and do it, i found some and I think that 60 is a fair deal, if you cant afford it or whatever dont get one....i will offer them in the classifieds section when i get them and you can get one if you want....i really dont think that the bmx ones are the same, but if they are and you can get them cheap DO IT, i know i would! sorry if i made anybody mad, i just wanted to share my discovery with everyone else that wants one....i will still keep you guys posted on this....but dont diss me too much or i might SNAP :cool: and sell all of them a little bit at a time on ebay for 100$ a piece....now lets all just settle down....

[a-camp]

I am interested 84 ,85 , 86 250Rs

[350Xccelerator]

will you be able to get pics to show to us before you sell?

[hrc85250r]

OH YEAH! i will def have pics to show you guys!!!! i wouldnt buy anything unless i saw it, so i figure it would be the same for you guys!

[Mr. Sandman]

So what ever happened with the number plates HRC?

[phil53]

first off, i am not taking any sides on this.
I got an ANSWER vented plate new in the bag for $10 from a local shop here that was around since the early 80's. he told me he still had a few when i got it.
it is white, sorta bigger than what i wanted. probably for an aircooled r or early tecate

[hrc85250r]

well, honestly its taking A LOT longer than i thought to get ahold of this guy.....i am super sorry guys, i know you all think i was bull$#!tting you guys but im not...this guy is never home since like 3 weeks ago, when i saved up enough to buy them...he works for a company called tamarack i guess according to my dad, and he is gona for 2-3 weeks at a time downstate...i have left notes in his mailbox and i lways stop by his house when i go by it...i dont know what to say you guys, i will get ahold of him here in may or maybe earlier, as soon as school gets out (may 6th) i will have more time on the weekends to track him down, but right now i have an a$$load of homework, mainly physics, and i work on weekends so i cant really find him, but i am trying you guys, no worries...

Don't forget about me! I taught Math/Physics at the college and am NYS Certified in both. I got tons of tutorials and text books from publishers... solution guides, CD-Roms, test questions banks, etc. Think the going rate is a number plate or 2 for my services! :p

[phil53]

350x'inNY,

I will call the shop tomorrow, i think only white ones are left.
I will take a picture and some measurements, pm me with an email. I don't know how to post pics.
