Yeah bad timing i think as well. How does the title say 2005 though? I know how the salvage process works in my area, but i never heard of it working like that. Don't be discouraged thats a great price and somebody will jump on it eventually.

thats a very good price, even for a salvage titled bike. it's christmas, bro. everyone's broke. put it up in the spring and you will get a KILLER price for it.

I'm not trying to give you a hard time -- the bike could very well be in perfect condition -- just trying to give you an idea of what other ebay buyers might be thinking:

People could be a little leary since you only have 2 pieces of ebay feedback. Being 'repaired,' even though you state it's straight, I would be worried about what happened to the bike -- was it a theft, or was it wrecked? Having replaced the clipons. levers, & rearsets, I would think it very well could have been wrecked. If it was wrecked, I would want to know the bike's been Computracked for frame, fork,& swingarm straightness before taking an ebay seller's word for it. If you haven't had the bike Computracked, it may be worth the money ($300 or $400?) to have it done. You could probably raise the price to cover the cost, and sell it faster because of the peace of mind it gives the buyer.

Even though you have no bids, 4 days+ left is still a lot of time left, as far as ebay auctions go.

I'll also agree on the good price/bad time of year sentiments, especially in the Mid-West (the auction states you're in Ohio).

Yeah nicky is right, its a combination of things most likely. I missed your ebay rating. There is a new bike scam everyday on ebay and a 2 rating doesnt look too good. hold it for a few months then try again. the computrack idea is good too
