Have a look, seller has a description up now and the bids are going nuts. It's got to be an inside job.Kermit TF wrote:Thats nuts......HappyHumber wrote:A bit of pfaffing around, and I got it from the item number; item 261196456541
I can't believe the amount of bids on it, 8 days out!
I saw a malvern star mustang dragster in 8/10 condition go for $240 on sunday night...chalk and cheese.

Probably. I just don't get water-testing via the Dutch auction direction. Only caught my eye as am doing up a 54cm. at the moment; same colour combo. Nice (enough) bike, but not a pig-in-poke $400 one.Dimitrizee wrote:I'm sure he's just testing the water...he's hoping to get that figure.
They must catch one now and again, I guess.
