I have requested some pictures from him. If it is legit then he should send them. Hell, I would host the pictures for him for the auction just to help make the sale.

My accountant just left me message, I'm gettin one huge tax return this year. Now all I need to do is convince the WIFE it would be a good investment. I suppose I should go buy her some ROSES before I talk to her about it. Josh lmao

Both of my cars are up for sale. ;) Im taking the truck w/ a 30' trailer, the cash from the cars and driving out there. Rub the cash in his face and load up the trailer. :D LMAO I wish :( Man...I cant believe that; its awesome. Im getting goose bumps just thinking about all those machines, just sitting there in their origional crates.

That is true...they could just be used ones that have been rebuilt, and cleaned up really good. :? Pictures would be a good proof that they exist.

I think it is real, however, obviously it could be fake.

Why it could be real:

1. He has a good ebay rating.
2. He advertised trikes that actually exist, no 1987 350X listed. :)

Why it could be untrue:

1. The "give me a break" factor is very high.
2. The chance of such a collection is like finding barbara streisand at the south pole.
3. There are not any pictures included.
4. He is very strict about not e-mailing him to buy it early; why should he care?
5. That gut feeling, you know the one.

Personally, I would like someone to go out there and see them in person. If they are for real, then so be it.

I would want to be the first one to buy one so I could take my pick of the trikes and also I would probably get the best deal. If the word gets out that this deal is legit, the second and third and so forth are going to be more expensive than the first one because of the "is it legit" issue. I would most certainly go and pick it up. :)

*EDIT*

Check out his other auctions, not a darn thing that is less than 15 years old, all brand new. They must have opened a time capsule.

The guy removed the listing today...I'm pretty sure it was a BS posting. My friend sent him multiple emails and the guy would not respond at all or send any pics.

I went to Ebay after I read the prior post saying it was removed from Ebay. I found it. It is auction # 2909773747. The bid is up to $2750 with 3 Days ,22 hours remaining. If this was just a hoax why be so wild and reckless by referring to 14 new machines? Sometimes when things seem too good to believe,they are true. My guess is that this is legit. I will not even begin to guess what the top bid will be. Most likely about twice what I would feel comfortable paying. With that said,I would love to have one.But I learned along time ago that if you buy too much blue sky,you don't have anything left to buy gas. HeHe.What good is it if you can't gas it.I will just have to be happy with my used but nice bikes. They are all gassed up.

I just like to know why he won't reply to any emails or provide proof. Hard to send someone money for something you don't know exists when the guy won't even answer your emails.

Kimmer: No doubt he is playing the reverse hype game here.In other words instead of hyping it he is running silent. He's trying to drive everyone nuts. But in fairness,he asked people not to email him. I guess he knew that he would get swamped with emails and doesn't have time to answer them. If that is the reason,then I have to respect that. If every wannabee collector shot him an email,he would be swamped.

Did anyone notice the catagory its listed in isnt even ebay motors, its in "Everything else--->"ebay tools"" This is obviously a hoax. The seller would at least want it in the motorcycle section of ebay motors.

I just checked the auction and all the bids were cancelled and the auction was ended. Guess it was all BS. :evil:

so would you like to call this guy????? here is how to get his number.

you have to be the top bidder on one of his sales. then use ebay help to request the buyer info. enter the item number that you are the high bidder on and his name. they will email you his information.

You'd better be careful. If you start out talking about the auction that you won, then you can casually hint at "So, I saw something on your other auctions about a new 3 wheeler, those things are so dangerous!" That might break the ice, ESPECIALLY if you make yourself sound like someone against three wheelers, OR if you make it sound like you are not interested in buying, just knowing about it. Maybe you can get him to fess up. Gotta be smooth. 8)

It's prolly someone here on the board, reading all of this, and having a great time fooling us! :twisted:

Joel: You referred to breaking the ice by pretending to be someone that was against 3 wheelers. That would be like a straight guy pretending to be a homosexual,or for that matter vice versa. OUCH! We do have our Pride. I suggest an alternative plan. HeHe.

P.S. I think what happened was the guy got swamped with emails and he ended the auction out of frustration. Either that or Kimmer bought it. He knew the auction was going t be terminated before it even happened.Kimmer is either clairvoyant or the new owner of a new 350x.Just kidding Kimmer.

well you dont have to win an auction. you just have to be the current high bidder when you request the info.

Call him up and tell him that you have $5K in cash and want to see one.

Don't take cash, though, unless you really want to spend that much...
