And I bet the non-standard one for 1500 quid is still for sale.

When will people learn? Old does not mean valuable.......

 

Yeah but he's not too far out from its possible value. Maybe at £750.00
he would attract a bid though. It wouldn't be an auction bargain
otherwise.

Having said that, I was bidding on some XS750/850 oil filters (5 of
them). I guessed £10 plus postage would be a good deal (you can get
them from Halfords for £3.50 ish). I thought I was highly likely to get
them until I returned from work to find them gone at £18 plus
postage!!!!!!
I suppose the buyer will save on some fuel by not having to go to go and
get any for a while but £4+ each, what's going on?

I can see why you want one. What a beaut!

 

Some people get caught by auction fever....

If I'm after something, I set a limit and don't go over it. The other
day I was bidding on a Piaggio Ape - one of those three wheel pick-ups.
I was prepared to spend ukp1100, but it went for ukp1170.

Sounds like I let it go for a mere 70 quid, but the bid increments were
20 quid, so it would have cost me 1190 - or nearly a ton over my
maximum.

And that's assuming the other bidder didn't counter bid.

 

Well, I want one, yeah, but not for that sort of money.

Actually, I quite like the styling. Tank is the same unit as a Z1,
believe it or not.

Not only that, but you don't know what the other bidder's proxy
maximum was - just because he went 20 quid over the previous bidder
doesn't mean that he didn't type 1300 quid in the box.

 

I agree, after all there's no point buying by auction if you aren't
getting it decent deal which would be cheaper than you could get it
elsewhere.
My best buy was a virtually brand new 4into1system for the XJR (I even
bought it before I got the bike or had even identified one). I bid
50UKP and then forgot about it; by the end of the week I had won it.
I suppose there are always occasions when someone will desperately need
the bits and therefore the price will go ridiculous. But my concern is;
who desperately needs 5 overpriced oil filters?

 

Prob with eBay is that if 2 people want one, you ain't gonna get a bargain
any more. But thanks for pointing it out, the space (Z 750) fooled my
search routine.

 

I nearly bought a tidy Z750 in 1990 because I thought it looked great but
it had such abysmal reports I got a GS550 instead. Cheaper to insure too.

They still look better than the Suzuki.
