 I've been watching the one or ones from minnesota, about the same number range as mine. It seems to get relisted repeatedly like he can't get his reserve. To see one not selling kinda ruins the market to a small degree. This destroyed that theory.
 The guys over at sooc were thinking this price was getting close to two digit range.

Definitely a good amount.  Now all the seller has to do is collect from the winning bidder.  That doesn't always happen either.  No ill will intended.

Its looks like a rock solid deal. New owner has multiple Sandcast bikes and is excited about this one.

Wasn't this right around your neck of the woods. You could have jumped on it and saved on shipping!

That's the biggest bid I've seen on one of those on ebay.   We'll see if the winner pays.  That last $5k bump is suspect.  25k still seems crazy to me.
Kinda wish I could have kept mine when I had it.  Oh well.

Yes the seller is a good friend of mine. The bike has been sitting within 5 miles of my shop for a couple of months, was fun checking it out very carefully in person. I made a hefty offer but he wisely sent it off to E-bay where he has had some very good results in the past.

Congrats to both buyer and seller. :).  This sets the ebay market for the next 30 days at least. Anyone thinking of selling your 3 digit sandcast, jump on it now. :)
