CB 750s not selling?

Take this as another true example.
I first saw the Middlesbrough bike priced at £11,000 on the carandclassic site, too much I don't want to pay that. It was removed after it didn't sell and then appeared on eBay, so I watched it and after all the silly bids became history and bidding went over £8,000 buyer interest quickly faded so I put in a bid of £9,500 with seconds to spare at the end, there was no last minute rally and the highest bid was £8,650 so I was the highest bidder at £8,750 but the reserve was not met, yes I told the seller of my £9,500 bid. The bike is now back on carandclassic for £10,000.

So in reality your only £500 apart. I'm sure there is a deal there somewhere  ;D ;D

Well, only £100 apart on the e-bay reserve! I don't get e-bays ways sometimes, so despite your top bid of £750 over and above the reserve, because nobody else bid up on you, you missed out? Think I would have messaged the seller and got a phone number, then called him and offered to buy direct from him, then he would be better off, no rip off e-bay fees as it officially didn't sell!

I agree Julie but I have to have a limit and then there's the good K2 that's in the pipeline that I need to see when it's ready shortly and it will be cheaper and from a reputable source, so I'm in between.

Hairygit, I'm told by the seller the reserve was £10,500 so my winning bid didn't meet it, I was the highest bidder at £9,500 the second highest bid was £8,650 so by eBay rules I'm the winner at £100 higher than him but as it didn't reach the seller's reserve there's no sale. The seller is aware I'm prepared to pay £9,500 as I told him, he wouldn't have seen what my high bid actually was on eBay.

Probably cost around £175 to transport it as well. 

Nurse Julie:
I'm sure you will find the 'right' bike eventually. Out of interest, are you looking at both UK and USA K2's?. Only asking as USA ones don't sell for anywhere near as much as good UK ones. The USA ones may represent better value for money on the surface.
