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

i voted Between $50 and $100k due to it currently being at US $35,400.00 and reserve is still not met! currently showing 47 bids and 09772 Views on the counter on the bottom! 5 Days Left People! All i can say is HOLY

[inv3ctiv3]

Yea unfortunately I believe that a lot of the bidding is people trying to see where the reserve is and/or will back out. Buster I bet you'd make more and have a more reliable seller outside of ebay.

Who would ever think selling something would get so complicated. The last few posts bring up good points. I would stick with it at this point only because i'd be curious to see where it goes. If a serious buyer does contact you and can show they have money then unload it.

It's just an item. Can't get attached to it. You won't be attached to the money when it goes to whatever your plans are.

I think this is great to watch and it being so rare to see something like this makes my work day so much better. Plus if it really does sell it says people have money. Bank accounts are filling up and people are getting ichy to spend like they use too even though it's pretty bad out there for many people.

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

I agree with you. Without getting to specific out of respect for the potential buyer, he or she's profile says they're from: United Arab Emirates and have been a member since 10/02/10. I thought of making members with a rating less than 10 prequalify, but this may shy them away as well, being hassled or insulted. I've had people call as far as Dubai. I'm amazed at the interest, but will wait to see who really has honest true intentions at the end. I may simply just keep this thing if my reserve is met and the winning bidder fails to fallow through. Just sit on it and ponder......then weed through the many calls of interest down the road. Who knows. I think my mind is getting the better of me here and I should sit back, calm down and enjoy the ride. I'll try to keep my comments brief and few here until this is over. Again, hope the many good people here can understand.
Thanks for all the kind words of congrats and helpful advise!

For $35,000 + could one go locally where the bidder lives and file a lawsuit for breach of contract? Say you went to Southeby's auction and bid on everything, I think you would still be responsible for the debt or at least damages for the inconvenience. But, the reserve is not met yet?

Anyway, wow is that thing expensive! You could buy a house and a car in Michigan for that much.

Hey Andy,
FYI that guy from Dubai if its the guy i have sold too is the real deal he is buying up all the nos 250r parts and paying all the money for them, take him seriously a buddy of mine just sold him a bike he had it shipped cost thousands of dollars to ship the guy didnt even flinch. I would imagine if someone is going to pull the trigger on this bike they will contact you directley . Good luck Im watching it !!! Mike

[Buster Brown]

Thanks, Mike. I really appreciate your heads up. I thought of calling you in regards to that gentleman, but well...... This is my battle to deal with and I didn't want to bother you. If this auction gets real ugly I may pull the plug. The big players will have saved my phone #. I have that guy's info from Dubai saved too. He was a treat to talk with. Again, thanks for the help! This is getting a bit overwhelming for a nubie seller of this caliber.

[vintagemotorsports]

your welcome . yea its a little overwhelming sometimes with this stuff and im sure you know by now all the haters will come out , alot of people out there dont like to see other people be succesfull at something and they want to express it . your right the people interested have your number bidding or no bidding they will contact you , a 7 day auction might have been better also to end it faster , you will be good .

take care Mike

I think this is great!!! Its been cool to watch unfold and I am glad you put it up where we can all see it happen or not. I can't believe it is up that far, but good for you. As for the haters - just think there are probably 10 of us that are thrilled for you for every 1 hater. Good luck and thanx!!!!!

[skippy]

Andy, I have a friend in Dubai. He can also check into you buyer if you wish. He has all the necessary means! LOL PM me if you need a hand

[fabiodriven]

I just hope the guy doesn't put it together and ride it.

[thestud25]

I just hope the guy doesn't put it together and ride it.

Have you seen some of the cars they wreck and just walk away from? Unfortunately the 250r would be just a drop in the bucket to some of those oil tycoons!

[dksix]

I think this is awesome. I hope you make a great profit and can fund some killer builds with part of the proceeds. I'm glad that it was brought to our attention here so we could watch and speculate on the outcome. I'm sure that anyone who has that kind of money to spend will do more than just send an email and once you talk to them I'm sure your gut will tell you if you're dealing with a dreamer or someone who can't back up the bid. I've heard of some gun sales going to men in Aribd nations that was 2x what they would have brought in the US ( some of those guys like rare western guns as well ). I feel that just by watching the auction, I'm witnessing history in the making. It's not something I would buy, even if I had the money. I'm not a collector but it still excites me to see. I'm one of the watchers but I couldn't even dream of being a bidder. Once again, I wish you the best of luck and I hope it brings $100K.

Was gonna keep my mouth shut,and watch. Andy,,don't know ya,but what I have seen you have handled this in a VERY professional matter. Not easy to do ,,,as I am SURE you are finding out!! I am SOOOO happy to see this kind of money on this, My guess as to it's FINAL price was WAAAY off! I was sure I would own it,had NO doubt in my mind!! WOW, was I wrong!! I LOVE IT!! To see people be able to appreciate this,,,but to be able to put CASH where there heart is,is something I thought this great hobby woud not see in my lifetime, I know it will come,,but didn't know when . Anyhow,Good luck!! And keep your comments heavily edited! As you know! Thanx for the ride!
