It does sound a little phishy but might be legit. It could still be a good deal for someone. Has anyone been down to look at it?
I would still be tempted to look into it. with everyone getting 55's and after riding in Jason's I kinda have the bug for one. It would look great next to the 40

Its located about an hour from me. I might be able to check it out this weekend for someone if its still available.
Very fishy. Why did he not just offer it to the bidder second in line. Very fishy. Sounds like they bid it up and then realized to late that no one would be crazy enough to pay what he was asking.
fishy is right, like I said before. Glad you guys are re-affirming what I thought as well so I don't do something stupid.......like bid on it.
ding ding ding. No doubt in my mind that's what happened.

that doesn't mean it isn't a good crusier, just don't get in a bidding war on it.......... go in with a max price in mind and don't go about it
I usually just email the seller and convince them to end the auction

That's part of the problem and exactly what Eric and Stacy did. This seller is either really stupid or he had his homies trying to bid up the sell price - prolly a bit of both...
He told them the only way he'd sell early is for $4900, otherwise it is a no reserve auction (it's still in the Q&A at the bottom).
When it ended and the no reserve bid price was so low, the high bidder suddenly couldn't come up with the funds.
There's only one way to describe people like this seller:

Current bid is $945 w/ less than 3 days left. Even if the guy is not Honest Abe someone might still get a good deal.
Yeah Andy, that is what Eric and I thought as well. When it was around $1,000 we were interested in it. But when he told us over $4000 and then the two bidders at the end. Sounds like he had friends trying to bait someone into bidding too high on it. Then when it didn't sell to someone other than his buddies "They didn't have the funds." Why would you bid if you didn't have the funds?? ANYWAYS... It sounds too Fishy to me.

1 hour 23 mins left and the high bid is only $1,025. Even if the guy is phishy this sounds like a deal. If someone even picks it up for parts I would buy a bunch off of her.
so how did the auction turn out.....ebay is blocked from here at work.
Still at $1025 with 50 minutes left.

Does the winning bidder have any feedback? If not, it might be the same deal as last time. (also blocked here at work.)
yeah I think it closed for 2600 last time.....bet he is glad he relisted.
