You spend way to much time on ebay.

Yes.

But the really sad thing is that I only window shop...

Although I have had the winning bid on a bike for the last week...

Unfortunately the bike is in Vic and I have no way of transporting it here at the moment...

Where abouts in Vic is it Trev??

Toolern Vale, although I'm not to worried, it will sell for a shit load more than I have put on it.

I find it real hard to turn down bargains on ebay just because there at the other side of the country.

but it sounds like i have a little more self control than you.

I put ridiculously low bids on bikes sometimes, like $126 on a 2 year old CRF for example, just to scare the shit out of my Girlfriend when she looks over my shoulder.

Although bidding $630 on a 93 KLX650 was slightly riskier, I'm still confident It will sell for around $1800 - $2000 in the last 1 hr of the auction.

(See how close I get... http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200432901162&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT might start a new game called Fleabay betting, closest guess to the selling price wins )

Oh and I bid $102 on a DR600 in Cairns

You'll be miles of I'm guessing about $1005.50.

Here's a question for ya why are crf's so cheap on ebay?

From their spelling, I don't think that CRF owners can understand big numbers.

After looking at the ad again and spotting that it is the non compliance model (I thought we only got the compliance model) I fear I have over estimated the sale price.

I recon it will go for $1206, but I will stick to my first guess of $1800, to $2000.

you have to much faith in Kawasaki Trev.

I just bought a ktm 520exc on ebay, does this make me a bad person?

but joe i am sure i read today you saying you would never be caught dead on one of them

You read wrong mate i said i would never be seen dead on an orange one.

The one i bought is black so my reputation is still in one piece

I like cacti



Yep, succulents.

I always though Succulent was Felacio you got before Easter.
