Could be someone is screwing with Moes auction, this shill bidding can be done as an act of vandalism. It happened to me at ebay, and getting help from ebay was next to impossible.
I've just done a merge. This will be the new thread for all of Moe's Cycle Garden Ebay advertising "auctions".
What , no "Bitch Fest" Dusty
When he starts auctioning customized SOA-syle Cal 14s, I will change the title!
Hopefully, but not really. You know how may times I hear a seller with an inflated price say "Moe gets $30K+ for his bikes, so mine at $15K is a steal". Think Jackson Barrett with cars.
Yeah, I overheard someone at the Nationals with a so so Eldo for sale say that if it was only in SoCal he could get 12 to 15K for it. I didn't disabuse him of his fantasy. I hang out at MGC when I'm out in SoCal, and know what Loops bring. They *are* going up, though. His *might* bring 5-5500 in SoCal.
The flip side . A guy once offered me $500.00 for my /5 , back before it got quite so tired . When I laughed , he claimed , "well hell , that's what the sell for in California" I suggested we take a truck and a trailer and make the trip Dusty
Lannis , I always laugh when the seller makes claims like that . A friend of mine was just convinced that his 200K mile Diesel PU with a bad paint job was worth $10K because well , some guy told him they were hot in CA. Surprise surprise , when he listed it in CA for $10k , what he got was , why would I pay that much and still have to come and get the damn thing . Round about way of supporting guys selling boats in coastal Alaska for a bit more than what they sell for in , oh say , Nevada . Hmm , did that make any sense , the humidity/stupidity factor may be in play here Dusty
Location, location, location....just like real estate.
So Wayne , are you saying that in AZ a boat has less value than , oh say , a Camel ? Dusty
Variation of boat prices I know nothing about, but we are close to the Colorado river so here it might not be an issue. I know our fuel is cheaper than the states around us.
Hmm , this begs the question , can Camels swim ? Dusty
'60 model , and if you remove the Baroque roof what's gonna keep the rain out ? Yeah , my taste in cars , and most things in general , runs in a counter to most American preferences . Women with no makeup and natural hair , notch back instead of fast back Mustangs , '56 Chevies over '57 models , Jackals over blinged out Calis , Mary Ann over Ginger , and early ZZ Top before they became a parody of themselves . Oh , and friends that don't care how , UH , well OK , "strange" I am Dusty
nope, it's a '59.agree with all your examples except for the fastback Mustangs and "blinged out" EV vs Jackal. EV is much better.
.......or bashed up falling off the trailer.
But by the 5th or 6th time (or maybe the 10th or 12th -- after all he's from California) he'd catch on and delete their bids. All it would take is the most cursory attention to the auction.
Well, the bike is listed on ebay as "sold", so it'll cost him $125 for some pretty good advertising even though in all likelihood it isn't really sold.OTOH, I wonder whether he looks at this forum at all, and whether he realizes how reviled his methods are among most Guzzi faithful.

so the real value is 8k$?
