Ebay sale - 10 out of 10?

I say, Max bid will be $4250. and reserve wont be hit wit dat either.

 

Before I post a number - Some reasoning here...
Bike is lovely, reserve may be too high but...what's the automotive economy like in Oakland?
Things moving or is everyone sitting on their money? Especially when it comes to specialized or non-essential modes of transport...

 

What I don't get is why don't they just put a starting bid instead of "reserve not met"? Don't most auctions work that way? I never waste my time bidding on reserve not met items, they are usually more than I'm willing to spend on an item any way, or at least the savings aren't significant enough to warrant getting in a bidding contest. That being said, $5985.00...

 

Yeah, kinda frustrating.

I don't know that I really need two older VFR's but, wait, yes I do.

 

Parked at 3k....for now....what is the bet? I will mail 6 beers of choice to the winner. Any takers?

 

Standard price is right rules mind you.....if your over you are oot.

 

Shit......I did say two to one in post #16......twelve beers if I am the loser.

 

I keep imagining how great it would be if my $ 3000 bid didn't have "Reserve not met" beneath it. I raheely like the bike but only up to my already-entered automatic bid (which has room to go yet).

 

the doode is gona have 1000 hits on that auction and no-bites! wut duz that tell yah? Sellers can also disclose the amount of the reserve in the auction (kinda defeats the whole purpose of a reserve) but it least it comunicates what the seller is willing to accept bare bones. Some times when I watch them car auctions on the tele you here the auctioneer trying to motivate the seller to take the reserve off.

This bike wont sell and I think you will see it featured again...any-whooooOOOO

 

1 day 1 hour left. op2:

 

So, John...in a perfect world, the guy lowers his price and accepts my final bid...you still good to go? A lot to ask, I know.

 

Twitch-ster, wut you gona offer dah doode? Just curious. Don't worry either cause I wont snipe it away from you. I got one Gen 3 bike that is like a 2 year old kid requiring lots of attention, kinda like wiping buggers and changing diapers. Its love what can I say.

 

I think it's gonna die a natural death based on expected reserve...you'll know what I'm willing to pay as soon as I know! (nothing crazy as I also have to factor $ 500 - $ 600 to get her here).

 

haha, lured a buyer to just over $ 3500...this should be interesting.

 

Of course, I look at bikes for members several times a year. Its fun actually.

 

Yeah, well someone bid $3502 so I'll have to be a bit more strategic now...thanks again, though!

 

annnnnnd @ $ 3,850.00 I may be done! Yay! Onwards...might be trading dollars for donuts anyway.

 

Yikes that is awful high really early on.......bunch of rookies.

 

I just threw a shits-n-giggles bid in of $ 4051...which didn't meet reserve.
Have at it, fellas...at this point

 

Was the amount supposed to be for what the highest bid ends up at or the reserve price? My number was for the reserve, but I just thought about that, how would we know? Oh well, since Twitchy is out who's gonna still watch the auction?
