Darn, I Missed this one...

Its only worth about $12,000 or so give or take. Buyer probably had a heart-attack when he saw this. And look at all those extras! Crash bars, fairing, WOW!

It'll be interesting to watch this one to see if feedback is exchanged.  I wouldn't be too surprised if the seller decided he wasn't going to let it go for that.

Wait... I just realized that was a "Buy it Now" for $2500.  I guess either the seller didn't do much research before listing the bike, or they just don't like money that much. :-\

Wow is right.. Sandcast if the # is right.

Anyone figure out how long it was on??

Gordon, most people not really into bikes are glad to get that for it.. they simply do not know.. they are getting double new price for it!!

Buyer hit the button 15 minutes 8 seconds after listing. Had to be quick to catch that one. :o

I bid on items less than 2 minutes after listing.. they cant change listing title then.. and had 1 or 2 sec snipes..

 Buyer must have it in his searches.

just a thought.... what are the odds that the buyer is paying more than that in a side deal, but this way ebay gets less %. Is that possible/probable?

Trust me on this, the bike sat for 20 years.. if they even bothered to see what it was worth, they would NEVER ask that for it.

 And I dont know if you ever sold on ebay, but most BIN prices are AlWAYS higher thatn what you would let it go for.

 I You ever bought anything barn-fresh.. you would quickly realize it..

 THE BEST WAY, to buy collectables is off people who dont realize current value..
