    Just like to give a HUGE thanks to Billy and all the 3WW staff. This site has bar none the most passionate bunch of ATV enthusiasts. Without all the kind friendly folks here this hobby wouldn't be half as fun. Hey, maybe if this doesn't sell, just might have to do a trike fest raffle..... *must be present to win* HA Ha ha! Probably take two guys just to spin the drum of tickets......What a hoot that would be. Thanks again! -Andy

    what's up with the bs of having 2 listings now

    why is there 2 listings now on ebay the first listing says something about parts only no reserve in a buy it now at 50,000. now you having another listing with a buy it now 55,000 with no description. I know I'm not the only 1 confused by this. are you starting to get cold feet now and regretting not putting a reserve. the whole thing seems fishy to me. Please explain yourself

    Sorry for the confusion guys. The second listed BIN only auction of the Tomy box next to the crated R is an attempt to get more views from ebay. I mistakenly placed the live bidding auction for the crated R in the "Parts & Accessory" category. I really should of placed it in the "Powersports" category. Rather than cancel the entire thing and relist it for a third time, I have the Tomy up for grabs...... Is it a odd that the crated R happens to be visible in the picture?? You be the judge. The Tomy auction is legit if you really want to pay $55,000. So yes it looks odd to many. I'll bet anyone who has the means and interest will either figure this all out by reading all that has been written about this situation or will simply pick up the phone and call. Would you spend over $20,000 on an online auction without knowing exactly the situation. You'd probably pick up the phone or do the due diligence and research this bike and the "Andy" guy to the hilt. All the complainers have no dog in this fight and simply want me to explain everything on eBay's message system... I don't need their headaches, so I politely reply to read up or just call me personally. Again sorry the confusion. -Andy Seibel

    great story, glad someone at 3ww went thru the extra effort to interview him. do we know if it stayed in the U.S.?final sale price was over 30k, but it must have been exciting to see it jump that high after sitting at 22K for 4.5 days!Can we speculate what he had to pay ebay in selling fees? was it a % or flat fee? wow!if someone paid this much $ would you have to leave it in the crate? would it be crazy to take it out and assemble it?

    I was expecting it to go much higher. There is no way I'd let it go for that price.
