A couple of Can-Ams for sale............
« on: July 30, 2012, 09:14:30 pm »
I've decided to thin down the fleet a little and put a couple of a ads on ebay selling a 400 and a 175-both orange bikes.

These are the links to the ads:

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Can-Am-MX6-/330771107868?pt=AU_Motorcycles&hash=item4d037e901c

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Can-Am-400-Qualifier-1980-/330771107922?pt=AU_Motorcycles&hash=item4d037e9052

And here are the bikes:




Get in touch by the usual channels if you're interested.

Cheers,

Nitram

Go on Rusty, bid, you know you want another Canam. The sheds not been the same since it went has it? Go on, bid! :D
......then, when you need some money to pay for it you'll sell me the Climber. GO ON, BID  Don't be selfish - you'll be able to keep 3 people happy ::)

I'm keen on the 400. I'll see how the bidding goes.
Let's face it some dirt bikes were never meant to be ridden.

Whats the definition of frantic? The 217 feedbacks repeated bids! Think I'll keep an eye on it too as it looks reasonable.

What's the tactic there? Getting more certain of how much he wants it, and raising his max bid each time?
Or trying to create the impression that he's raised his max bid really high?
The good thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said.

I'm not too much into manipulating ebay sales-bodgy bids and etc.  The market pays what it wants to. I'm happy to keep the bikes in circulation and I'm not doing too much racing these days.  :( :(

Can-Ams are great bikes, but a little quirky and bit too exotic for most people's taste.  Your average VMX rider is happy enough with his run-of-the-mill CR, YZ or ho-hum Maico or Bultaco or whatever.  It's not until a bloke realises that he's just been roosted by this funny looking disc valve rocketship that the penny drops and he comes to see the light.............. ;) ;) ;) 

Of course some people never get there. :) :) :) :)

See you at CD9.

Mate the auction went well and you got decent money for the 400. I pulled out of the race about halfway, having bought a few bikes recently I was at my limit. Hope they went to a good home.
