Who's selling them for that price? ROAS is selling them cheaper (Cus I need to get some soon) lol. Could someone be trying to make money out of someone elses hard work?

Well if he's getting away with selling them for more than ROAS is selling them......

Hey ROAS.... what kind of discount will you give me for 30 sets of CCT? :lol:

I know there was a guy on the forum selling a set but he was charging the same as ROAS was, which is fair enough, but making money on someone elses work is a little out of order.

maybe ROAS should put his on there and mention someone's selling his at over 20 quid more, winds me up when someone tries to gain off of others.
i've just bought 2 carb balance take off adapter things off of 'Balls' for £4 for next weekends workshop day at tony.mon's reckon i could make at least 3 quid on each as long as no one reads this lol :crazy:

I wont tell if you dont. That'll be 15% sir.

Thing is. ROAS is selling his cheap to forum members as a good gesture. Theres nothing stopping him saying "right lads ppl are takin the piss £70 euros" And the new members (like me) are screwed. We can spend a little less for Honda ones that will probably fail again or buy them from ROAS.

shouldn't be too hard to find ut who it is though cant be many members from that area and ROAS will have some details on them maybe he could name and shame them eh

If you look at the guys feedback he's been doing it for some time. Just as an aside it's not someone selling them for ROAS to non forum members is it?
:think:

the other thing is it will make other members more hesitant on doing fellow members favours like cheekykev he gave me them mini indicators (which are fitted to the bike i'll post pics later) but now people will think does he want them to sell on. i'm selling forum stickers at cost but its to do a mate a favour as his business is slow, i was thinking about putting them on ebay for £5 each £9.50 for 2 inc p&p but dont think i will now, might have brought some new members

they do look very similar to trays, but the pont has been doing them for years chaps.
pretty sure he is a member here???
he does make them for other models too - tbh can be a pretty lucrative business if you go into it bigtime.
nice little sideline anyway.

hope Tray has done as well with his, for the amount of storms he's kept from the grave. :beer:

it may benefit roas if ppl do sell on outside his area of influence means he makes more to sell on
long as he aint in direct competition and has roas word of aproval that is if they was roas in the first place
they all do look similar though
