"$1" Kelli Speed Pulley

Post by adark248 »

I was looking at Ebay and saw a $1 high speed pulley and almost pushed the buy it now button, until I looked at the shipping.

Everybody likes money.
I am not a mechanic, nor do I play one on TV. Actually my advice is probably worth slightly less than what you pay to view it.

Even with that shipping, that is around the going rate for a Kelli Pulley.

Sellers do it for a number of reasons:

1- They don't pay as high listing fee
2- They don't pay as high final value fee
3- If they offer refunds, you'll get a $1 refund if you return it.

I personally know the seller and for the price he is selling it for is cheaper then you can get it from a shop in Hawaii shipped to you although this isn't the cheapest you can get a pulley for from a shop in Hawaii. It is a technicality why they do it like that, ebay can't tax your shipping costs so the seller just paid ebay like 20 cents to sell that pulley, it is pretty sad how people work the system IMO.

Hey Keoni!
its about time you came over to this site. Besides this post, i think you will find that VTCycles is highly regarded here. Unlike MopedGods, feel free to advertises as much as you want. Most of the people on here are always talking about VT anyway.

Thanks for the warm welcome Dac. The MG guys didn't want advertising on the site because they hoped to sell advertisments from shops but that also allows them to do some give aways too which I know they are working on.
