Cheers Ash. Have put that in my watch list. Betting it goes between 4 & 5K which means when its done there's no meat left on the bone again. Amazing what people are paying for rough Bonnevilles, although this one is pretty nice.

Well, the Bonneville's at 4.5K already with 6 days still to go. Why do people bid so early, all it does is push the price through the roof. If it ends up over 6K then the 3K for restoring it properly (without even paying for your own time) that's 9K. You can buy a superb Bonneville for that, so why bother. Whats the matter with these people?

I don't believe that. DK have pulled the Bonneville auction as well. Somebody should report them to eBay. The rules are that you can only pull an auction  in exceptional circumstances. Not 2 a day because you had better offers. Bang out of order.

DK do it all the time, there is a disclaimer in all their bike listings on ebay saying it is for sale in the shop and the auction can be stopped at any time, I was bidding on a Suzuki GT750 J which was pulled with 12 minutes to go, 3 weeks later it was back up for sale, ebay don't care because DK are classed as a "power seller" and have over 65,000 items for sale so you know whose side they are going to be on.
