sorry, I know this is a completely off topic, but I don't know where else I can find help, so ashamed (I have no american friends). I'm going to sell some hand made motorbikes from my country in ebay. I don't really know the English words to describe them (I don't want to turn people off by seeing grammatical mistake). Here are the pics: http://www.namnet.com/motor .Please take a look and tell me what should I say beside dimension and weight. In English what are they made from and what parts are used? Alse could you think for me and eye-impression title.

There are too many categories, don't you think it's good to put in Collectible-Seasonal-Chrismas rather than Collectible-Transportation-General or both? Thanks a million.

P.S Sorry for nothing-related question, but I saw the moving topic is okay :). So I hope...

Nobody can't help me with this simple question? Too bad... I'll delete this tommorow :(

Nam,

Right at the moment, I can't think of what you would call these. They aren't replicas. I'll probably think of the correct term later, perhaps after a second cup of coffee.

Here's what the terms are for their parts:

"headlight" a nut
"wheels and tires" bearings with ball bearings
"motor" spark plugs
"gas tank" right angled pipe joint

I'll address your other questions later, when I'm feeling more creative

caffeine, it jump starts my brain, it flows through my veins, caffeine
it keeps me somewhat sane, it eases the pain, caffeine

These would, to me, be called "sculpture".

More specifically, perhaps "miniature metal sculpture".

Thank you so so much for helping me, I got an idea now. Those great words describe exactly what those motorbikes are (after looking up in dictionary :) ). Thank you, if I success of selling them, I'll give you all 50% of the total :D j/k. Have a great Hallowen.

P.S etLux, all begin with M except Sculptures? Nice phrase :)

I stand corrected.
