  1. Pittsburgh PA. Will post up some pics tonight unless mobile upload works. It is pretty sweet except the dash/console has been bodged. Twin Weber conversion. Crunchy 2d gear. Imron paint. White over black. Some minor trim doodads require attention. Super solid.

  2. Many thanks to all. Am now in touch with Ben thanks to you. Will let you know what happens. This is the 73 Polaris tii from NC that is apparently going through a very short ownership cycle due to the buyer's decision to buy a 3.0CS. We will see what transpires. This is code orange with respect to warning signs but I am hopeful. Regards, John

  3. More ebay fraud. The seller probably accepted an offer to end the auction. In my opinion it is fraud to seek bids that are binding on the bidder only to hav the seller yank the item. That is a classic illusory contract. This guy is no good. Better off not buying from him.

  4. I like it. Not going to bid. Again some crazy bidding behavior on this one. It is daft to bid repeatedly on an ebay item --only bumps up the price and does zero to help you win. The only way to go is to bid very close to the close of the auction. Otherwise it is akin to (but not precisely the same as) bidding in a sealed bid auction where the knowledgeable bidders see your bids but you cant see theirs.

    As an example look at the bid history of bidder -***s (*26) -- those repeat bids are completely useless to help that bidder win. The only thing he/she gets is the momentary satisfaction of being the high bidder in an auction that has days left to run. It does help boost the price for the seller and ebay actively encourages this perverse behavior because it increases ebay's premium.

    Ask what the value of an early bid represents to you the bidder. The only value is to ensure that there is at least one bid pending on the item so it should not be withdrawn. Can be a low bid. Happy to explain if it would help. Sorry for the rant. Again I'm not bidding on this one.

    This comment is not directed to any person in particular -- just an observation that would save buyers $$ and win you some auctions that will slip away otherwise. Good luck however you choose to bid!
