R3 TOURING TORs Brand new in box with tiny, tiny scratch.

Yep, no exaggeration arrived with a scuffed box and saw a 3-4cm scuff. The marks are less than a 1-3 mm and cover an inch at most of the very end tip of one muffler. The shipper wont wear the return cost for International mail here from Australia of $180, DHL was $380- ridiculous!

I haven't even opened them yet. This is the scuff on top of the box itself which is 40cm wide, 15 cm deep and 100cm long.

I can open them for more photos if you insist but they are as #Post 3 below.

$700 new - throw me a silly offer if you like and I may just deliver them to your door repacked so no further damage will occur!
I believe the styro foam cups on each end of the muffler ruptured allowing to and from movement inside the package. If there is interest I will open them up.

More photos - if I had a Touring I would be snapping these beauties up for a mere fraction of new cost. Throw me an offer!
They are only approx 5.0kg RHS and 6.0 Kg LHS see images above.

The RHS is still perfect and they both came packed in soft green cloth bags with styrofoam cups at each end, and as I presumed the damaged LHS one had cracked the styrofoam cup as the end piece was only 10mm thick, allowing movement of the muffler tip in the carton.
Triumph factory should have followed TV and other heavy item packing procedure and used at least an inch of styrofoam thickness. I shall repack for buyer with triple the styrofoam thickness all ends.

Only the center white flared bit in photo below is a 'mark' caused reflection the other 2 are just light reflections,

Alright guys and gals, I have had a nibble from far away and checked postage to the USA - US$114 Gulp:eek: but I've offered them for US$200, but if he doesn't get hooked I'll be recasting with the same bait!;):D

They are US$510 in the USA at the moment. And not being discounted with their huge sale

So under offer at US$200 + postage = US$314 all up. If not snapped up I'll be recasting.

To be fair that US$200 is AU$250 so $250 to Aussie buyers plus postage/courier which is only about $25-$30 to Brisbane so similar to east coast cities I imagine. A bargain under AU$300.

US$200 or Aus$250 plus postage/courier
 
Hi
I'll rise to the bait but have you any idea how much post/courier would be to Mount Barker South Australia 5251
Regards
Dave.
AU$306.78 all up

$56.78 via online EGO couriers, www.e-go.com.au is wholly owned by the Hunter Transport Group.

Duffy 2611 to Mt Barker 5251.
105x41x16.5 cm and 13 kg

I have repacked with extra foam reinforcing and taped and re wrapped with shrink wrap so it wont get any more marks on it's next travels.
They deliver Mon - Fri 8-5 but I have known them to be earlier and later as they use local contractors in each location who subbie for Hunter Transport Group.

You can get a 15% freight discount AU$48.26 if you pick up from one of the following SA depots with advantage you can pick up when convenient within a day or two of arrival and do not have to have a safe place to leave at home address. They will also deliver to a business address if you have one.

if you want it delivered to home and no-one is there, you can have it dropped off where you advise e.g. "behind wheelie bin in carport" or " At front door near pots"

Got a hook up and nearly in the net.

But don't fret little fishies, I have another pristine unmarked shiny new in box set of Touring TORs to go on my line now!

However, do not delude your Piscean brains that they will go as cheap as these ones did.
Got to go prepare my burley and bait now.
