2 overpriced bikes ? An 850T & 1 million$ 750SS Ducati
« on: January 27, 2015, 07:10:20 PM »
OK It's obvious that the $1 million Ducati on ebay is not a typo.
 Please someone tell me that an otherwise $40-$50K 750 SS  is worth a million because of its history? 
Then there is the 1975 850T "mild project" bike going for $3200 on the ebay.
So the engine has not been touched but is runs smooth as silk. But does one run any old chrome Guzzi engine these days.  Is this not asking for trouble?
What is the 850T worth?
And the Ducati?  :pop

I don't think Old Blue will get to a million but, it should do better than where it is now. A 750ss sold last year in the Vegas auction for 160k with no race history. And as far as the 850t, 3200.00 is a bit high but, we know it's "smooth as silk" because he says so twice!

For those prices, some advertising hype and embellishments is advised to attract the eyeballs ........

I think it's a bit of a trial balloon..Put it in at a real high reserve and see what the market looks like. Barber probably only offered $250000..
