Looks like another one that got sold under the table. Seems like there aren't too many nice bikes that actually end with the full auction time. That bike was climbing fast and high though. I think if it was mine I would have let that one run it's course. Must have been a crazy offer to end it. Anyone on here got it?

Catch me if you can
Yes.. and I believe that people that do that should be thrown off ebay. both seller and the sneaky shits that make offers under the table.
Ebay is an AUCTION site.. unless the seller lists an item with a BIN.
what's this world coming too?

Um Chris, if you got a crazy offer on something you put on ebay you would end the auction. I know it's easy to say, "no I wouldn't" but money talks and BS walks. That guy could have been offered like $10,000. I'm sorry but if I was offered something like that the auction would be off.
Now, in somewhat agreement with you, if he had intentions of selling for the right price, he should have put in the description that the auction could end because of local sale.
Otherwise I don't feel he did anything wrong.
"Yes its broken, but does that really surprise you?."
"What happened? What does it look like happened?!?!"
HELLO, my name is stickers!
Catch me if you can
BUT.... All it does is wastes peoples time. Do a best offer auction if thats your intention. know what I mean jellybean? and its just not a good business practice IMO.
Now not that I was intrested in this auction or had a ton of money to do an "under the table" offer.. but it infuriates me to no end to have a few members here actually bragg about their "bad business" deals... not gonna make too many freinds around here doing that IMO. (not you louis btw...)
besides... i was really intrested in seeing what that auction ended at. perhaps I'm just jumping the gun a bit. there could of been many things that happened here. he ended it due to an error in the listing,, sold locally, changed his mind all together.. etc... but I'f I sell on ebay.. I let the auction run its coarse. and yes I have lost a few bucks before being the good guy. at least I sleep well at night! LMAO!!!

Yes, and then you get the douchebags who win the auction and don't pay. You have a real offer on the table take it !Yes.. and I believe that people that do that should be thrown off ebay. both seller and the sneaky shits that make offers under the table.

How do you think all these nice machines get bought? 100 % of my mint bike auctions end early to a collector. They don't like games ,and there is a limit as to what a used mint bike will go for, both the buyer and seller know it.
Ebay is an art not a game!

ahhh,, they're coming out of the woodwork now!so lets get this straight... since your a so called "collector" that gives you special privladges to not follow ebay's rules? Is that how things work? Folks like this sicken me... as well as the ones that pray on the uneducated people. for example... trying to sell a 2 oz. bottle of honda touch up paint for $150.. stating in the the auction super rare and discontinued?!?!? when In fact a new bottle can be bought for about $7. Your agruement doesn't hold a grain of salt with me bud.
I'm finished now... thank you!

Hmmm....although I get VERY frustrated when I dont have a chance to bid I know people make offers all the time...when I am selling I get them all the time....I have ended auctions for buddies and once for a KILLER offer....and I slept very well that night....The way I see it we all know it happens...its survival of the fittest and aggressiveness gets usually wins the prize whether its an offer or a high bid at the end. Ebay is a tool or medium for advertisement...as a rule I think most sellers want to get the most money for their item. Personally If I am getting great offers I never end the item because if several people offered good $$ I know they will bid it at the end so unless its an unbelievable offer its actually stupid to end the item. Ebay auctions do have those options " item no longer available for sale" or seller ended auction to the highest bidder so its not REALLY under the table its a choice.

Very well said Orange, Ebay is simply a worldwide advertiser that is in auction style format! If it was against Ebay rules to sell it before the auction ends, there would not be an "item no longer for sale" option! If you want something bad enough, make an offer to buy it! Don't wait around expecting to steal something, especially if it is a rare or sought after item! I have ended probably 40% of my auctions early and have not regret it one time. Once you have been burned a few times and lost a ton of money on listing fee's because of non-paying bidders, you have to do what is in your best intrest as the seller, and if it means selling your item early in a non auction format.. then so be it, no harm, no foul! The item is put there to do one thing for a seller.... SELL! There is no rule from ebay on doing it that way. Just my 2 cents...

unfortunetly i have to make offers on items to sellers, BECAUSE I have lost to many to other people who did make an offer and the auction was ended and I was waiting to bid at the end. I do not like to do that but if you really want it make an offer, worst they can say is no.

this really has nothing to do with it. it's wasting bidders time that i find troublesome.
If I remeber correctly when I joined ebay.. I DO remember reading not to accept private offers from people. More advice than a rule I rekon.. but folks seem to be making up there own rules anyways.
I've been trying my best to avoid ebay and do my business with folks here but it seems lately I've been getting burned as well.
Its just a bit frustrating for me so again I apologize.

uh oh now its personal......ahhh,, they're coming out of the woodwork now!
I'm finished now... thank you!
just kidding. I have learned ALOT from you guys on this site, esp from the guy who bought my nos grab bar.
Chris, at the time my $150 bottle of paint was for sale, there was a buyer from overseas with oil money paying ridiculous prices for anything related to 250R'S. I was trying to get some of my $3.59 a gallon gas money back..
I love these bikes and I love it when I can pay my bills sellling them.
Trust me, get burned once on ebay for a big ticket item by having a deadbeat bidder, and I 'm happy ending my auctions early.
And I'll be the one on the phone trying to buy the item the second I see it listed!
OK GETNOSTY..... How much did she go for???
At least the ebay forum is not so boring anymore!
