Rock Island Cart Hit Miss

US $300

  • West Des Moines, Iowa, United States
  • Mar 6th
 I had this listed, but found it has a cracked spoke in one rear wheel, it could even have more than one, but one is all I see, and outlined in yellow. Since it was selling as all good originally, I started with a lower price,  now that I see damage, I am starting the minimum higher.  This is a  Rock Island cart. I have had 4 hp engines on them, but they were a bit too much in my mind, they were made for 2 hp engines I am sure. It was parts of 2 carts. One will have to hunt two new pipes, and make a handle.  . The bolt holding the two front bolsters is also needing replaced.    Note buyer must pay all shipping costs associated with sale. I plan to fit this all in two large flat rate boxes, It may just go all in one box, I would check on costs after sale, and refund any over billing. I posted $40 in add, that is cost for the two boxes, , greedbay now charges me final value fees and paypal on shipping, so it is a little higher, I do not like the grab,  and I do pass this onto the consumer, that's you .  I do not like to box things till they are bid on. USPS no longer offers standard post on many deliveries, as far as Ohio even, so it is higher in one box.   I have a handle in the pile, but one side is deeply pitted, and would rather not include it in the sale, as it came from else where. If some one thought they could use it, and buy this cart, they could have it for postage. I also cast wheels, but it is not easy.  The one rear wheel is very worn out on one side of hub, one can see that the center hole on one side is much larger, it must have  wobbled some. It would still work, if you just want a cart to move things around on, this would work , but I would recommend welding or replacing the cracked wheel.   When I bought the cart , it was froze down at the auction, and  the help "broke her loose", so they cracked both wheels. I found the one with the wore hub, the other is the one that came with it.   Some of Charliebrowns rules! If you read this, we won't have so many troubles. Please pay particular attention to , no offers, and buyer must pay all shipping costs, including the final value fees ebay now charges on shipping.  Multiple purchases, please note, ebay  charges final value fee's on shipping now,so if you buy more than one thing, please wait for a final invoice,you do not  have to pay at the end of the sale. Once you win a sale, it is yours, if you pay extra shipping, ebay does not refund the final value fee,on the shipping ammount that I refund to buyer.So if I refund your over pay of shipping, I subtract the ammount ebay charged me,when I send you back the extra money,so please think ahead. If you have paid for an  item,and then buy another item,please send for a new invoice,and advise me of the facts,and I can readjust the shipping. If I have not yet shipped, I can charge a penny for another purchase, and save you the money. Also please do not rely on me to see your name twice when making labels, they all start looking the same to me, and I may not see it, so please say something if you have bid on more than one item.  Also ebay makes me ship the next day after payment received, so if you pay, I will mail the next day, if you are bidding on other items, please wait to pay and see if  you owe more. Buyers must pay all costs associated with shipping.  If you have been overcharged for shipping, please message me, if you jump the gun and snide me on the eat back with a one star, you will be blocked from bidding on my items.   If you deffinately have one on order, and bid on a part, then you have bought two. Ask first maybe ?   I do not accept offers as a general rule, so please do not send me low ball offers,even if ebay made the listing say make an offer, do not waste my time please, even if no one has bid, I will not take them. If I eventually decided I either paid too much, or am asking too much, I will reduce the price, or just keep waiting. I do not like having to respond to stupid offers. NOTICE< do not ask me to state a buy it now price, or advise me you will pay so much, if an item has bids, it needs to go to the end.  I do always reserve the right to end any auction. If you would like to try and get a bargain price, and wait till the end to bid, I may very well end a sale, and relist with a more appropriate price. If item selling is a casting, all castings require finishing in a machine shop type setting, and may or may not require grinding, filing, and buffing. . I do not have a shop open to the public. I am not a retail or wholesale business.  If item selling is a casting,( if it is not , disregard), all castings are guaranteed against sever defects, they are castings, so some times there are some rough areas, I guarantee that things will machine, and be usable. Just email, and return or send a picture of any defective casting for a replacement.  ( When item selling is a casting)  , I like to relist the things that sell, so the items selling as relisted castings, usually is not the item you receive but is a facsimile, and as always,  guaranteed.   .  I like to ship things for costs. It also costs to box things, such as tape, and  gas to town, , and  ebay now charges me final value fee's on the shipping , plus   pay pal, I do loose money on shipping. I like to pad the weight of a box ,so to cover the extra,(hidden to me) charges, so you will be paying more for shipping than the label states. I do not like to loose money on shipping. Buyers must pay all costs related to shipping, including at times expensive boxes and packing, tape and some times fuel and ebay final value fees.   Please also note, I can not always message from my computer, if you ask a question late in the game, one needs to send me an email address, or a phone number if you want an answer. I may have to go to the library to answer. AND after I have responded to a question, please do not thank  me back, as it then appears through the remainder of the listing I have an unanswered question. I know you are thankful, thank you. Also please note after a listing has ended, and one asks a question from that item still in their watch list, I can not see what the item is, ebay erases that information, so please state item by name, not " this part", as I can not see any part. QUESTIONS FROM OTHER  Friendly ebay dealers helping, some times it is nice if I really state some thing off, to help me,but I really just do not want any catechetical questioning to help my sales, like the dealer with 2,000 sales feed backs, and no buys, and did not even try to buy my item, asking me if that was a blade of grass, or a crack. I may seam silly to a lot of ebay buyers to say this, but this is a thing that repeatedly happens, thanks for the help, but no thanks, please do not ask me a question if you are not going to bid, I do not have time. Most buyers can judge for their selves.  Blocked bidders. I have had about 15 people that just seamed to think I was Sears, and that I just did something wrong to them, so they left me 1 stars on three of the four DSR, when they did not even message me, and the shipping was right. and with in the posted time to ship frame, with accurate, apparently unread item descriptions. If I feel I only sold one item, and now have a 1 star, it is not rocket science, they are blocked. Snide remarks personally and on eat back are grounds for blockage. Harassment and smart remarks on other websites are also grounds for blockage.    I do returns, but only for fraud, no buyer regrets. I document with photos all sold items, so to protect myself. Buyers must pay return shipping. I have done a few trade ins with people I know, or feel they got the wrong part. Foreign bidders, Although I was recently able to send a sale to Australia directly, with out Global shipping, ebay has been making me participate in this thing they call, Global shipping. ebay had no longer allowed me to mail directly to foreign countries. They tried to make every one ship to a processing center, I have not control over this or what they charge,I would ship world wide,if possible but must add on the 5% fee to the shipping ebay charges with paypal, and the fee of final value fees on shipping they now charge me. Please ask for an invoice, and we will see what I can do.   On Mar-03-15 at 14:44:04 PST, seller added the following information: Since someone bid, ebay will not let me change the title, I forgot to fix it, as I relisted as a similar item, so selling is the front axle, am  planning on tossing the pipe so can flat rate in a box, the 3 part front bolster is what ships, then 4 wheels , two fronts, 2 rears, and two rear mounts. It was frozen down where I bought it, and they cracked the two rear wheels busting it loose, which I am not selling, but the two I picture sell, they are well worn in the hub area, but not cracked.
