Been watching this for days.  It was just $26 with 1 1/2 days left and i had to keep pinching myself to make sure i wasn't dreaming, lol.  I'd call dibs on it, but i would incur a $300 fuel bill to make the trip and back to get it.  And with that in mind, it just doesn't make as much sense for me.  Especially if it ends up at the $350 mark like Buddha suggests.  GL peeps!

Hi all,
Hey,  I'm not far from this bike.
If I can win it cheaply and get it, would others be interested in parts from it?
Let me know ASAP and I will see if I can make it happen.
Thanks,
Trwhouse

Cool.

unless ebay is disguising usernames, i think a bot won it.

almost everything i do on ebay now, i see one of these damn users with the same format of name- letter/number  ***  letter/number.  maybe its bots, maybe its a store buying stuff, i dont know

one of em pushed the price of the kat750 rear shock i got recently from 25 to 80 dollars.

I have Kat 750 or 600 shocks, 50 shipped. I sell em all the time. Usually I have some outsdanding requests and I barely get enough to cover em, but I sometime have the odd extra which promptly gets sold ASAP.
Ebay is one of those that is likely to be inexpensive on ocassion, but most of the time stuff is way more than you can get from GSTwin, or any other site. I have some guys who would locally sell me stuff for about average ebay $ for stuff and I get to save shipping, and avoid buying crap. I test, open and inspect and clean before I even buy it, but always it gets that treatment before selling it.
How many have been bad in the near 2 dozen I opened.
I had one with a bent shaft, one with a leaky shaft (that the guy gave me free and I opened it and waiting some parts) and one other that was bad ... So 10% give or take.
Anyway just thought I'd post and let everyone know. Ebay can be OK, but you need to back stop yourself with a maximum and avoid crossing it at all costs.
Cool.

Hi all,
No, that wasn't I who won that bike.
Frankly, that was a $100 parts bike, max.
I didn't bid on it at any of the prices that went higher.
No deal there!
Best wishes,
Trwhouse
