Optimistic sellers

[T.W.R]

Probably relative to how much money said 'fool' has.
Carbon Garage has a 900ss for only 27K.
I'd have one any day over any modern Ducati if nothing else just to look at.
Back in the 80's when I lived in Sydney they were just another bike really, used to see lots of them at rallies, amazing the laws of supply and demand, a set of rose tinted glasses and cashed up Baby Boomers.

Yeah I'd have that any day of the week over the F1

I've got a photo taken at a rally in the early 80s of a green frame 750ss all roughed up looking like it'd been to hell & back...imagine trying to find one of them these days for sale let alone being ridden around like a daily hack bike

Were you bidding thinking it was a 750 ?
If you get it at that you'll have to keep it....

Its not met reserve yet....keep bidding you know you want it

[T.W.R]

Nah, I know Andrew. He's simply waiting till summer now I think. He's pretty reasonable.

testing the water huh? a couple of the Q&As have had a dig at the price still be a fun wee bike if you lived in the right place and still well capable of showing a clean set of heels to more modern toys

No -its fairly clearly a tree fiddy. He just wants 750 money for it it looks like.

OK, he bought some pipes and put them on it but........

I think he had it listed at around $4500.00, but maybe wants to keep his free relists until summer? Have raced 250's a fair bit, I'd still love a good one to this day. Have to be a green one though. Pity they all shat themselves.

Yeah that sort of price sounds better considering the kms it has but can understand the methodology of the pricing
I'd rather have what you raced too....shame the majority of them did get raced though...knew where there was one a few years back with a handgrenaded motor but the guy moved so god knows where the bike is now

Here's a good one already getting a few pokes about the price

Eh?? Full ad on Trademe but he's not selling it until summer... OK, maybe I'm missing something here, maybe he's trying to build critical mass and get a full blown bidding war going several months down the track when he finally does go live... but still WTF?

Crasher hit the nail on the head...avoiding relisting fees

Of course, it's always something simple.

That's a fair example, I think he's not actually after that money.

I will pay $4k for that tomorrow.

A bit late to the party we've already resolved what's going on with the extravagant price

[HenryDorsetCase]

As would I. The point is that the tinware is damaged, and it is not within 15% of reserve at $4k. Implication is that the reserve is north of $4500. Which is 750 money.

"Oops, there was a slip up!

This listing was withdrawn by the administrator"

I guess the admin were tipped off to the misuse of the service...

I'll pay $4500 tomorrow in all.

But I want to ride it. In all it's I'll handling, poor performance glory. I reckon it's $5k All day long.

I think it is a good listing and well worth the current bid.
