Here it is-250R in the crate!!! let see if anyone has the money to back up the talk.

[JayBone]

25k was my guess also.

[oldgun]

I am thinking 25k also. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[82300R]

I know i looked at it earlier an it was 75 thousand. W.T.H.? Then i looked at again an it was back down again. Must have canceled the bid. Very interesting auction. Hope it doesn't end with some b.s.

[hell on wheels]

I saw it too upto $75,000!! And still the reserve had not been met! I think its all for entertainment now unfortunatly.

[portland250r]

holy crap why do all the nice sell when i have no money?
when i got money and keep it theres nothing nice or collectable but as soon as i run out something has to pop up.

[portland250r]

it best be someone on here who buys it!
it would suck if it just went to someone who dont know about us.

Well its went higher quicker than I anticipated...

[JayBone]

I have my 85 200x for sale on ebay and i can't get 700 bucks. geez
It's out of control. Who was the guy who voted it would go over 100,000K ha ha!

I saw the 75k and thought you were gonna win the vote.

[hell on wheels]

75k and reserve not met! This Buster is fishing for big fish!! Now I see a lowered reserve. Hmmmm. is anyone going to take the bait now??? Remind you of the Z50 Chrome Specials?

[Buster Brown]

Just thought I'd share...... 9450 Views, & 790 watchers as of 9:30am WI.time
I lowered the reserve to a point that if it's met I will have seller's remorse.
The prospects of selling this are becoming as much of an amotional roller coaster ride as buying it was!
I really had no thought of it getting this high.

After this sale and the word spreads of the price you get. You will actually see how many are actually out there then.

[Buster Brown]

Jay Bone, I have had the same thoughts, and am thinking take the $$ before the possible flud comes (LOL)

Hell On Wheels, I know your displeasure and agree it looks fishy. In my opinion the Z50 & '88 TRX R auctions were definitively fixed and had shrill bids from "helpers". I have had a little bird even confirm this notion. But to nulify any possible slanderus coments here, these are just my opinions.
I have instructed all my family and friends to absolutely let this thing go it's own way with NO help. Believe me or don't. In the end I'll be able to sleep well, even if this all falls through!
Boy... the haters come out when things get good for someone else. I'm not referring to you Hell On Wheels, no worries bud! I totally understand where you're coming from. To the point that this is starting to bother me. My integrity is now coming into question over the "appeared" success of this auction. I don't know who these bidders are??? They may all be full of $n!+ for all I know. This is crazy to me too. Hope you all can give me the benefit of the doubt here. I'm an honest guy. I was recently over payed at UPS and now I'm returning a $3600 over payment from payroll. I turned myself in. Anyway, we'll see if this all comes true?? Ebay is so corrupt and easily massaged, so I'll never be able to prove to you guys I did this honestly. Enough said.

Buster, having held the previous record for the highest sale price of a 250R on ebay and selling many, many beautiful ones. I would like to offer a little bit of my experiences when the bidding gets really high and you become uncomfortable yourself with the price. If you have a serious buyer who is calling you and speaking directly to you, ready to buy, I have had the best success with ending the auction early and selling it to someone ready and willing.
You could wind up with a deadbeat bidder in the end, and in that situation , when you relist, people become very very leary. I am sure Mike from VMS will back me up on this. You don't see any of his bikes on Ebay.
Wait until there are about 2-3 days left in the auction and then end it to a real buyer.
Or at the very least cancel all bids from people with less than 10 feedback or have them fax you how they plan on paying for it . You don't go into a Barret Jackson auction without a letter of credit from your bank with how much you are prequalified to spend
. If they really want it, they will pay up for it, but there becomes a point when the smart money knows they are being taken, and they walk away or offer half of what they were going too. Somebody already messed with the auction by finding out your reserve. In this case, take none of the bids serious until the reserve is met
Just my .02 cents

[oldskool83]

how is it that the highest bidder has 0 feedback....thats a huge red flag!
