eBoptimism



We've all seen it; where an eBayer's opinion of the worth of their goods=20
is just a *tad* to the left of reality, but this made me chuckle;
Good, no just me then.

My fave bits are "Bought it from a friend of mine who has owned it 15=20
years and has spent absolutely thousands on it. Said it was a Z1100R,=20
but been told its a gpz1100b2 will enquire. no real difference tho" ...=20
is there not, sunshine? Well that's ok then ... one wonders why=20
Kawasaki gave them completely different model names really ...=20

... and "The only couple of faults on this bike there are a couple of=20
small bubbles round the petrol cap on the tank and the rev counter for=20
some reason has decided not to work but it did", which is just=20
wonderful, IMHO. I'm also *hugely* dubious about the stated mileage.

And how much is this (repainted) paragon worth? Well now, there's a=20
*tiny* spot of contention over that ...

The seller has a BIN of =A33,000 ... the reserve, he's announced to=20
everyone, is =A32,500 ... but that's ok, coz the current top bid is ...

... =A3227 :)

Now I know there are still 2 days to go, but I can't help thinking=20
someone's going to end up disappointed; most likely the seller, but if=20
someone's dumb enough to stump up =A32,500-3,000 ... then there might be=20
some fun when they turn up to collect ...
Well to his credit, he does include the helpful typo "You would be
disappointed with this one".
And it does come with yolks and you can't argue with that.
