All I can think about are all of the nice bikes I could buy with 30K : ) !

 

[rustyspoke66]

You could make a good dent in that top ten list!

 

[Oldbikes]

So, he probably actually MADE money on that! Amazing!

In todays economy, it really is amazing! The high bidder really wanted it. He placed 18 bids!

I would hate to pay the ebay/paypal fees on that sale (over 3k) but nice sales price none the less! Don't recognize the buyer.

if the rumored $28k buying price is true, after the ebay fees he'll lose a bit. not as much as was expected but some. still not bad in this economy.

He dropped his reserve just before the end,I guess he thought it wouldn,t make it.

I say congrats to the top bidders! Nice to see that there are collectors out there who recognize a truly rare bicycle and then step up and compete with one another for ownership. Regardless of the economy it shows that the really rare and desirable stuff still brings the $$$.
