Please Help me play a joke on my buddy!!!!
THIS HAS BEEN GREAT FUN! THANK YOU EVERYONE THAT HELPED DRIVE MY COWORKER INSANE.. I'VE REMOVED THE EBAY URL BEFORE HE REALLY DECIDES TO KILL ME.... THANKS AGAIN EVERYONE THAT PARTICIPATED, YOU GUYS ARE GREAT!

Help me play a joke on my buddy. He's been complaining all day of people writing to him asking for shipping quotes for his motorcycle.... He has a note that buyer must set up their own shipping.

Need a few dozen people with a good sense of humor to go to his listing and write to him asking about shipping. Be creative, ask how many boxes this will come in? Can he ship different parts to different states? Can he let the air out of the tires before shipping because it will cost less?

Please be nice, but funny... It's going to drive him nuts!

Done.

I asked if he could ship it, one piece at a time.

Hopefully he'll get the reference.

AWESOME!! This is going to drive him nuts. He's been complaining all day that people keep asking if he can ship this.. Just a few moments ago, he was like, "What's wrong with these people" can they read... "No shipping"...

Unfortunately my ebay ID has my name in it... He'd figure me out too easy.

Ha ha ha... Someone should ask what size tires they are, would it cost less to ship if he fills the tires with Helium before packing up?

This might be overboard but...

Hi, I am wondering if you would ship the bike. Secondly can you strip the frame of all chrome paint and fill the frame with helium and plug holes to save weight, also the same for the tires. Can you take the spokes from the wheels and send them in an envelope also to save more weight? All of this going to zip code 08080. Thanks

OH my GOD!!! He's actually reading the messages out loud to us... Everyone is rolling on the floor here... Who wrote him and asked to have the frame filled with Helium to make the shipping lower... That's too dang funny. He's over there right now saying "What the He*l is wrong with these people, are they all on crack" This guy wants me to ship the parts in individual boxes to save money...

So I really want this but might not be able to afford the shipping. Can you ship it just like a piece at a time or something. That would also be easier on my wallet because I could pay you maybe $100 dollars for each box. Thanks a bunch

Ha ha... He's reading this right now... "look at this one, this guy wants a quote to Canada in a wooden box, just Canada, no city, no zip.. What the heck is wrong with this guy, don't he know how big Canada is"...
This is driving him nuts... He can't blame me because the messages are coming from all different valid user ID's... The guy is livid

Hey man, Can you tell me how much the frame weighs? I'm interested in building a real cool mountain bike using that frame.

Also, could you cut the frame in half so it could be shipped in smaller boxes, should be cheaper. I'll just weld it up when I get it.

ahahahah he replied :

Dear ba0tchi,

As stated in the add pickup and or shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. There is a link next to that statement that will take you to a site that specializes in shipping items like this. We thought about the shipping aspects prior to listing, and building protective crates for the frame, motor, wheels&Tires, then all the extra parts..exhaust, primary, handlebars, forward controls, ETC(and there are allot of parts) as well as chrome and painted parts, then a shipper willing to take it all and keep it together. The costs were pretty expensive. The link mentioned is the best bet. So if your interested please click on the link.
