Was doing my nightly glance on ebay and was floored by what has been listed today:

Hutch Pro Star - nice
JMC cruiser - sweet
and lastly a JMC Andy Patterson frame and fork.

I haven't searched ebay too heavily over the last few years, but I don't remember seeing this trifecta, not at the same time anyway. Watch the cash fly.

It happens every December. People sell stuff before Christmas. Great deals and some rare stuff always pops up.

The reason you see so many high dollar bikes (and have for the last couple months) is the incentives eBay has had for Power Sellers and breaks on listing fees. I rotate 20-30 of my complete bikes that I have no need to sell, only because the listing fee on a 30 day fixed price auction (even if I start it at $10,000) is only 35 cents. I can think of about 25 bikes that I had no plans on selling, where someone hit BIN when I had them on for one of the eBay specials and I had no problem shipping them off if someone were willing to pay my BIN price smile.gif

eBay fees are pretty high, but if I can get all of those hits for a whopping 35 cents, odds are the buyers/lookers will hit the "Seller's Other Items" button and end up buying something I really wanted to sell.

I think Mr. Springer might have his Eye on the Pro Star, but that is just me.

Why would Jerry Springer need a Pro Star?

Seems like a good reason to me,

I am mistaken, it is Pauly not Paul Springer that might want it.
