    Like I said, at least the ebay forum is getting exciting again even without adam, even though I wonder what happned to him???

    It tells me there are more buyers out there than I thought, and still some nice bikes to be found.
    Apology accepted, and sorry if i offened you.

    I still cant wait for a rapper or a guy like Kid Rock to get on these 3 wheelers in a video or a movie. Gangster kids are going to be like wtf is that????
    Prices will double overnight for the 250R's and 350X's. Make sure you have one in stock at all times.....

    See that's just the thing tho... I'm not in this hobby to make money.. and certianly I'm no collector. I ride these old wheelers just to stick out from the everyday crowd... and to make some freinds here on the forums. When I see crap like this or someone being taken advantage of It fries my eggs. Isn't "family" supposed to stick together?" Kinda hard to do with all the greed rolling around these days.

    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!

    MMmmmm,,,care to elaborate on the ridiculous prices this guy was paying for anything related to 250r's,

    I bet he never paid $150.00 for some touch up paint

    I'm still pissed that I was asleep when the recent flat track tank listed with a $500 BIN. That is a real crime and all I can blame is myself....

    speaking of deadbeat bidders...anyone remember that beauty of a tri-z i was gonna get a month or two back. the auction was at 700...i set my max at a thousand...some kid comes in and bids in 50 increments all the way up to 1050...and then doesn't pay on the auction. i'm offered a second chance deal for 1000. i tell the seller that i'd buy it for 700, before the kid started bidding. no more. he tells me to go screw myself.

    i calmly explained that the only reason the auction ever went that high was because some kid was bidding without the intent to pay.

    i'd have given him 1000 for it, but i guarantee he's still sitting on it. that's the fourth time he's tried to sell that trike and been burned. he got greedy, i would have paid 8 or 9 if he wouldn't have been an ass.

    i say... as far as deals. anything goes, you can end an auction...i don't care. it really is survival of the fittest.

    Ending an auction early for a Under the table offer is stupid........why cant the person offering the money under the table just place their offer as a bid? this way, if someone else wants it more, they have the chance too.........the person willing to pay the most is supposed to be the winner.......ending early does nothing.....

    scenario: seller lists item.
    Buyer 1: small bid, determined to have, going to try to get for cheap by placing large bid at end.
    Buyer 2, offers 4,000 fo select item.
    Buyer 1 would have paid more for the item, if he knew that the transaction was taking place, but not the seller loses profit and buyer loses product.

    Rule of thumb: someone comes at you with an offer, tell them to bid that offer.

    I agree 110% Ebay is an art for sure! Personally, I'm always open to under the table offers and I will end an auction early even if it does upset a few people. I think if it frustrates you that badly maybe you should look for another parts source.....BOYCOTT EBAY.....just a thought.

    All well and good in theory 300R, however, Ebay has this little thing called proxy bidding. This IS the way your scenario would have played out if it was on Ebay:
    Bidder 1:small bid, determined to have, going to try to get for cheap by placing large bid at end
    Bidder 2: offers 4,000 fo select item, seller tells him to place that bid because he will not end the auction early.
    Bidder 2: places 4,000 bid and overtakes bidder 1's first bid of say 2,000
    Bidder 1: at the last second places his "large" (or what he thinks is large!) bid of 3,000 to try and get the item.
    Bidder 1: is then greeted with a "sorry you have been outbid by another bidder" and now the auction is over with a 3100 final price!!
    SELLER NOW KICKS HIMSELF IN THE @$# FOR NOT ACCEPTING HIS $4,000 OFFER WHILE HE HAD THE CHANCE! NOW THE SELLER LOSES PROFIT AND THE BUYER STEALS THE ITEM!

    OR THERE COULD HAVE BEEN A BIDDER 3 WHO COMES IN AT THE LAST SECOND AND AND BIDS $3200, WINS THE AUCTION, HAS 0 FEEDBACK AND THE SELLER NEVER HEARS FROM HIM, NOW HE ALSO LOSES HIS $30 IN LISTING FEE'S.

    BOTTOM LINE SELLERS: IF YOU GET SOMEONE SERIOUS ENOUGH TO COME WITH A SERIOUS OFFER, STOP THE AUCTION AND TAKE THE MONEY! --- ITS UNFORTUNATE THAT EBAY IS FULL OF NON PAYING BIDDERS!!
