Bargains to be had?

**Naki Rat** · 22nd December 2008, 08:24

Noticed this go for a song on Trade Me last night.

Question is; Did all the intending bidders forget to catch the end of auction, or is this an indication of the tightening purse strings happening out there at present? What further bargains are to be had as the usual January credit card accounts arrive ?

Seems like a pretty good bargain alright and hopefully it stays this way because Im in the market for a new bike and the cheaper the better

He set his reserve way too low.

He put his faith in the auction system but it didn't fire for him despite 1600+ page views.
Lots of interest but apparently everybody sat on their hands at the end of auction, like I had to!

Crikey! He had a $1 reserve - he should probably be relieved he got more than $2.50!

Wow... I bet we'll all be keeping a lookout on traeme now...

I think he did quite well.

The Street Triple has effectively turned the Speed Four into a heavy, obsolescent relic. Undeservedly, but that's the way it goes.

Well someone got a great bike for a very good price.
