Scrapping the bike (not the new one!)

[richrock]

Hi,

Not tooo sure if this should be in the workshop or general, or even Wales (where I live)

Anyone know where/how I can get rid of my old 50cc scooter, which was a Chinese import Direct Bikes piece of turd - I haven't got access to a trailer, and need to get rid of it, before the wife arranges to get rid of me

Any ideas? Tried googling - but they're all about 50million miles away from where I live.

Or if anyone needs a few bits for their Direct Bikes/Jinlun DB50... Come and get em!

how about sticking it in the classifieds on here, or putting it on ebay with a 99P starting bid (as its free to do that) you may be surprised and get half decent money for it.

Good call - might just do that. I guess theres a non-functional listing under Chinese Scooters right?

I think you might be surprised what crap people will pay for .

aye direct bikes do sell piles of turds and i got one myself, cant wait to get rid of it. Anyways i agree with the ebay idea, you'll be surprised what you can sell on there and be even more surprised by how much you get for it

Just be honest with the fleabay description etc, then list it "bought as seen" ... with a certain %age deposit thru Paypal, and the remainder in cash on collection
