    Nice presentation in your ad.

    Clearly lots of elbow grease on that bike.

    I hope you get top dollar!

    Travis, please let me know what it ends up going for. I am considering the same with my 750.

    Just bookmark the auction or add it to your watchlist. If you still need to know what it goes for, after the auction ends, pm me and I'll let you know.

    Travis, been watching the bids move upward and I am not real familiar with e-bay but are you able to set a minimum that you would sell it for? I am thinking about testing the waters with my 750 Seca shown on my "what is it worth" thread and would not want to have to sell it at a low price?

    Yes, you can start the bidding at what ever price you want. You can also set a reserve price that you don't need to make known to the buyer. If that reserve bid isn't reached the item doesn't sell.

    As Great_Buffalo has said, yes you can. It'll cost you though.. Eveything little feature you add to your ebay auction cost you a little more money. They nickle and dime you to death if you jazz up your listing with every little thing you can. Then there are fees when the item sells also that can be very significant. It's not uncommon to give ebay and paypal together about 10% after everything is said and done.

    One thing to note: If you are new to ebay and haven't bought or sold a few things, your feedback rating will be low. When selling a bigger ticket item, people will feel better about buying something from someone who has been on ebay for awhile. So if your rating is say less than ten or twenty, the bidding might not go as high as it otherwise would just because will be a little more cautious.

    By the way. What do you guys think of my test ride video posted at the bottom on the auction?

    $2075? Not bad Travis. So how much will E-bay pocket?

    If you guys had to guess what Travis' 650 would have sold for what would that guess have been?
