over priced 500 on ebay

(1/1)

mickwinf:
Anyone seen the 500/4 on ebay, a seized up wreck with bits missing US import, now at £770 with 4 hours to go. Prices seem to vary a lot, only a few months ago i bought my 500 UK bike, taxed and tested on ebay and i only paid £890 ( although i would have paid more) I was thinking of bidding, but too expensive now!

Rozabikes Tim:
Yes unbelievable.

I think the romantic idea -"I could resurrect that pile of rust", overides common sense in  these cases. They ain't that rare yet - £1500 for a tidy example?

I've a couple of such wrecks off ebay over the years at £100 or so for parts / eventual rebuild. I was thinking of bidding as it's the same coulor a my 500/4 sidecar bike but that is getting bids for about 4 times what it's worth in my oppinion. Especially as I just got a '78 z650 that needs minimal work for half the money.
