<EDITED, I hope for the last time>
I have been keeping stats on eBay listings of USA GS 500s since April 3, 2005.
There have been 117 listings since 03 April 2005. Some are listed multiple times before a sale.
Here's the question(s): <Excluding 2003>Which year bike has the most listings; the least listings?
Tolerance: none - you must choose/guess the correct years.
The results will be posted Saturday. The winner will have bean counter/accountant bragging rights until the next post of a similar question based on my collected data. (That and $5 will get you lunch and change back at any Taco Bell.) I will provide the years and the number of bikes/year/listing in the post.
Most: 1996
Least: 1989
most: 1993
least: 2005
Most: '89
Least: '05
Most: 2004 :thumb:
Least: 2000 :dunno:
Most: 1990
Least: 2005

Dave :cheers:
most - '92
least - '97
Most '95
Least '05
93-94 most but i noticed 93 was taken so lets go with 94 most
least 1989
Most: 1991
Least: 2005
Most - 1991 ... I think GS production peaked in 91.
Least 2003 - Ha ha obvious isn't it ... no GS in 03.
OK fine if the bike must exist ... then 2000. I think the nadir was 2000.
Cool.

Sounds like useful data to have. Can we see it (after the conest of course)?
Srinath took my answer.
See, you guys thought I was just a dolt.
Was I just lucky? Or was it an educated guess?
I'll never tell.
But I did sneak 1991 and 2003 in there first. SO, HA!!!!
Most: 91
Least: 98

I didn't take your answer ... well I concurred with you ... :mrgreen: I stand the risk of being called a copy cat if we are right, and being stupid (doubly so) if wrong ... :x ... so like lose a little or lose a lot scene ...
Cool.
Srinath.
Ok, I see my error :oops:
EXCLUDING 2003 pick the least/most years.
To choose an new least year on a previous post, just edit it.
I thought you could get the 03 in Canada?

Not 2003 you didn't :)
You gotta get 'em both right! Your guess on most is waaaaay off.
And I changed mine.
I'm watching you Srinath. Very closely.
No funny business!

03 was sold in Canada ...
Cool.

Good point, after double checking my filter on ebay the Canadian listings are not recorded either. So leave our maple leaf GS's out also.
Well My answer accounted for the shift in the question ... and in fact caused the shift in the question ... Ha ha ... no change to my answer ... I stay un edited ...
:nana: :nana: :nana: Jake D ...
Cool.

Merovingian: But do you? You think you do but you do not. You are here because you were sent here, you were told to come here and you obeyed. [Laughs] It is, of course, the way of all things. You see, there is only one constant, one universal, it is the only real truth: causality. Action. Reaction. Cause and effect.
Morpheus: Everything begins with choice.
Merovingian: No. Wrong. Choice is an illusion, created between those with power, and those without.
We got them in OZ in 03 thats what mine is :thumb: :cheers:
My guess most 91
Least 06 (Ok I'm a smart ass) :lol: :thumb: :cheers:
I only know of one sold on E-Bay. The Blue 2004 I bought in Lynchburg VA.
So that must be the the most listed :)
Here's the results of my ongoing eBay data gathering...
USA listings only. I initially started including our maple leaf friends, but want to focus on the USA market.
The GS year with the least number of listings is --- A TIE between 1999 and 2005! Each year has ONE listing since 03 April 2005.
Winners: slavik, Scratch, SheDevil18, Jake D, fettcols
The GS year with the most number of listings is --- 2004 with 16 listings! That is approximately 10% of the 117 listings since April 2005. Can you say "$99 a month until the price goes up?"
Winners: half liter, Jhart (half winner - only one guess), 2005-GS500-PDX
I really should have bracketed the years to 1989 - 2004, excluding 2003 --better job next time. I would post the ongoing spreadsheet, but my webpage isn't set up for ftp linking. One day I will change it to an ftp site. :roll:
Another 6 months of data collection should make the spreadsheet interesting. Thanks for playing along. Maybe the next contest will be on the most and least states with GS listings. That will require a list of states that have listed.
I have finally won half of a prize. Hooray
