TOG@Toil, chateau.murray@btinternet.com,

I was watching this:

Ebay item 230112143829

Waited until it timed out with no bids, and lobbed in a sporting offer
of £900. It's a superb example of a DOHC Honda CB750, but the bikes
are fairly unloved (which is a bit unfair, as they're better than the
900, IMHO).

Seller politely said he was looking for a bit more, and was re-listing
so I replied: "OK, I'll watch for the re-list...."

I was reckoning that if nobody bid again, I'd slap in a grand as it
was timing out, and maybe he'd take the hint.

So he's relisted it as item number 230113194324

Now do forgive me, but if I got no bids on a bike at a starting price
of £1000, I wouldn't re-list it at an SP that's £700 higher.....

Heheheh, yebbut ... now he doesn't have a reserve, so I'd guess that his
previous listing had a reserve of £1700 too, or more ... He prolly
thinks a 'no reserve' listing looks better.

<AOL> I liked them too ... much nicer than the 900's anyway <\AOL>, but I
always felt the forks were a bit spindly and not really up to the job and I
preferred the 900's handlebar 'system'. .

Um, what was it, and why is it so expensive?
