Post by: mx250 on August 12, 2009, 08:27:01 am: I'm betting the reserve is higher than $8100 ;D.

Well spotted. I thought $8100 was a fair price. I wonder what he expects for a collection of three.

Other than very original I don't see them as being particularly attractive collectable buying ::).

Actually, it did sell to a another eBay user name- 'fastpopy'
They all look like great original bikes, but it worries me when there's that sort of history............ :-\

Post by: steve234 on August 22, 2009, 08:07:56 pm: I would hae taken the $28K? You always shed a tear if you don't take the first offering in my eperience.

3 bikes for $35K
I recon you could get a better deal on a threesome of moderns.

Post by: Nathan S on August 23, 2009, 10:36:49 pm: Doesn't mean that he's not dreaming though.

The 480 would be around $10~12k, right?
The 500 would struggle to make $10k on its own - I'd be guessing sometihng more like $7k.

So that makes the XR200 a $13~18k bike! No matter how good it is, it aint gonna sell for $13k.

Further, selling them all together means that you've got to find someone who:
a) Has a spare $35k available.
b) Wants bikes as different as an XR200 and a CR480.
c) Is willing to pay top dollar for all three bikes.

It aint gonna happen.
