Seems fair. If it wasn't so embarrassing I'd be tempted to place a bid

Heya Kiwifruit. Do you remember a photo you had for your profile pic awhile back where a black (not being racist here) gangster looking dude on a black hyosung GT250R? Do you still have that pic? (or was it someone else??)

Well, aren't you a loyal fan!
That was just a random image i found on bikepics.com, that tickled my fancy at the time. I was drinking alot then :yes:

I had a quick look thru but couldn't find it.... so here is another potentially amusing image: http://www.bikepics.com/pictures/582778/

Now, back on topic... can i interest you in a 2006 hyosung 250? It is *awesome*.

Yeah, Dave from Bay City Motorcycles in Tauranga should have another log in name if he is going to be so abrasive. Oh well, i can understand where he is coming from... there is potential profit at stake.

Bro, I think you are real brave putting your bike on $1 reserve. Hope it goes well and doesn't just get snapped up by some trader who is going to onsell it for a profit.

To be honest though, I don't understand why anyone bids in advance of the closing time. Okay, I guess if it closes at a really inconvenient hour it might be provident to place an auto-bid a little in advance, but why oh why would you bother bidding 5 days before the close? It's great for the seller (and I'm therefore happy for you that it's happening mr.fruit), but it can only drive the price up and in no way secures the item for you. I'm sure most people think this way as everytime I want to buy something there is a last-minute flurry of bidding, but still many people throw their cash down way before the close-off. Go figure.

I've found dollar reserve auctions are great for selling high demard items like this. Even better when the target market is young folks. I wouldn't do it with any bike.
Currently there are 140 watchers! I recon 10% of those watchers are looking to buy.

You got PhD in Marketing? Or just pure experience? ;-)

Anyhow, good move.

Thats what I thought about my 2009 Z750 $1 auction that had 100+ watchers, and in the end no one fronted up. Hope your luck is better though :)

The 250 market tho, its madness. I recon there will be a little flurry of activity tomorrow night. Even if there is no further bids i'll be happy.
