i thought your first price was at the high side but not out of control , then you changed itbegbie wrote:Hey Nzminis, your right I did put the price of the cdi units up, on the advice of another forum member saying they were selling for around £200 on Ebay.
I did have a few people asking about them, but as my bike was away having some work done (cost a small fortune) I couldn't test them, now I know there all working perfectly.
Sorry you feel exasperated by 500 ownership, I feel your pain, everything I do or want to do to my bike is expensive.
Im not sure when you bought each one of your 3 RVZ 500's, but, Ill bet you wont sell them for what you paid, Why would you, you would want there current market value,
and the only way to find that value is by seeing what there currently being advertised/sold for.
Thing is It's all relative, the price of spares has increased inline with our bikes.
Went out for the first time this year on mine last weekend in the sunshine. There great bikes
the fact that one person is selling or not being able to see there stuff at a high price . then some one else see that and goes oo i can can get even more because mine is better . then it goes out of control from then on and you end up putting parts prices through the roof next thing you know every cdi will be 600 pounds
i had 4 Rzvs . sold one few months back . one is for sale now and one more in a few weeks
i got them for cheaper than anyone wants to know or you will cry if you have brought a 500 in the last few years . i got all my in the last year and a half
if i put one of my bikes for sale at a start price of $10,000 and it goes for $18,000 . thats it
but im not going to go sticking them on there for a $20,000 start price . and saying if you want one you have to pay this much
im not saying stick it on there for so cheap that you dont get any money
just like this

what idiot would pay that much for that .. i have 3 of them in a box . but im not going to go and put them on there for $600 and try and sell them
ps i got a 1ge cdi from a guy on here . at a good price where they all should start from 86 pounds to my door !!!
