Rather pointless post really but it's something to chat about! Very Happy

By the way Iâ€™m not going to buy a new one if thatâ€™s what you all thought from the name! I wish! I saw this bike on ebay:

https://offer.ebay.co.uk/ws3/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBids&item=2477475117

Yesterday it went up to Â£15,000? The bidder has retracted their bid now I noticed but isn't 15,000 a bit extreme of a price for a new 600? How much should it be worth?

Ps. check out the reason for cancellation of the bid. Hehe. He doesnâ€™t sound too happy about it!

Also have a look at the about me page for the another-scam fellow.

They're probably one of those people that put down a bid with one account then use a 2nd account to bid something stupidly high. Then at the last minute withdraw their bid and their other account wins the item very cheap.

You do realise its a scam one children, the 2 high bidders are just accounts to warn people its a scam. Look at the usernames.

It's a picture of another US bike like the CBR600RR that was knocking around last time. Yamaha seem to think the Yanks like flame effects, they did it on the R1 last year. They probably don't even own the pictures let alone the bike.

It always gets the alarm bells ringing for me when they claim to be in the UK and the English is very bad and they post a pic of a non UK bike. If you're gonna try and con someone at least make it believable! Rolling Eyes

Wow, you know ive been using ebay for ages and i never thought about systems like that? Some people really are cunning! If you get cought out though theres hell to pay! me i wait till the last few minutes to bid. If you get it, you get it. If you don't then, well you dont, lol Laughing

Just emailed him asking how long he's had the bike and where in the UK he is. I'm a bit bored, thought I'd do a bit a bating. Wink

Just found a guy selling an NSR side panel with the grate on. His reserve looks like its Â£19 or less as it has been met at Â£19 so far. I wonder if he knows the grey grill over the outlet is worth from the Honda dealers alone? lol

I just sent an email as well asking how long he has had it for.

I also said I could collect if not to fare from inverness (i'm from soton).

I wonder if his reply will be the same?

Oh no, I think we may have been rumbled, I wonder what gave it away! Wink

Shame that the auction has unexpectedly finished now!
