Evening All,

Just been having a look on Fleabay and I have never seen so many over priced Buell's in my life. Where on earth do they come up with these prices as some have start prices a grand more than they are likely to get on a good day and "buy it now" prices more than it was new.

They'll still be there next year! Unless they accept reasonable offers I suppose.

Yes, every bike more than 10 minutes old is a "classic bike" these days, with stupid prices to match.

exactly that ..."ebay rare" means its going to be overpriced
true of VW bits too i have an old mk2 GTI ,which in my eyes is an old friend (when it works right)
on ebay however it is a rare classic...well to those selling em anyway :eat:

Who'd ever have guessed that crap like C15's and Tiger Cubs would ever be "sought after classics"?

A car or bike is worth what people are willing to pay too cheap and they are hot cakes ,but to be over priced they need to be really nice or else they remain unsold , but some people do some really horrible things to Buells and still think they are tastefully upgrading and enhancing the value , and that is what you generally find on be,gay. :!:
