I have been looking at bikes on ebay pretty seriously for a few weeks, and think prices will come down a bit more.

Cool isn't cheap

Dont fret if it don't sell in that auction. many people close deals outside the ebay auction.

I purchased my 2003 BD Chopper off of ebay and I hhave sold 2 MC on there. It works. If you stay with paypal they will ensure the crooks are weeded out. If you make a deal outside of ebay or paypal, then you're taking the chance of getting ripped off.
Just my opinion..................

My wife and I both got our Dogs off Ebay. Bought them the same week and drove from New Orleans to Winchester, VA and then over to Quaker, CT to pick them up. What a road trip. We test rode both bikes before handing over the cash. I can tell you this. Both bikes were listed as "clear title" and neither were completely paid off. I sent partial payment on mine to payoff the bike so I would have a title in hand when I picked up the bike. My wife had to wait almost 2 weeks from when we picked it up before she had title in hand. Something about the way VA credit unions had to go around the world to get a title back to the owner. We love our bikes! We have had a few issues, but I think most that put on the miles have shit happen on occasions. That's how I found this site. Had I known about this site before, I would have had a member close by check out the bike for me. Dog owners are the best ones to check out Dog bikes. No doubt about that!

hell yeah I'd do it, in fact I check the ebay listing multiple times a day like the wall streeters check the boards
 as mentioned 2 must do's to make it a painless operation, find one close to home & use paypal to insure the deal stays on the up & up!

Ebay is a great market place. I have bought and sold several cars through ebay all good experiences. The only time I got burned is when I went outside of the protection of ebay when I didn't win the bid and bought anyway. Ended up with a truck with a blown head gasket and no recourse, ebay would have provided protection and warranty.
You do have to be pretty Ebay savy and know how to use it. Do as much verification as you can before you buy and if you know someone that uses ebay alot have them help you out. There are things that long time ebay users can spot right away indicate scams or sketchy deals. I would have bought my dog off ebay if I didn't find such a great deal locally. I was lucky. |

I just bought an 05 Chopper with only 3,400 on her from a guy off of Craigslist in New Jersey. Got a steal of a buy at $13,000 and this thing is MINT. But I had a friend of mine in Jersey go and take a look at it before hand. I ended up paying $650 to get it here to St. Louis and could have paid less, but the company I used could get it to me in a few days vs a few weeks. There are certainly deals out there if you're willing to travel, however, I would ALWAYS look at it before I bought it.
But for that price, I was willing to fly out there for a day and take a look at it myself if need be. Shaun |
