The seller of the ebay bike is liquidating a large collection of bikes that have been in storage for 15 years .......some of the bikes are going for low prices ,compared to what others are asking ........just now  ,a couple of girder fork 30s restoration projects ,which seem cheap (......maybe not so cheap to me ,but then  I remember when you could build a complete BSA sloper from bits bought from a couple of vendors at the Toowoomba swap.).........prices in the US are definitely still climbing ,but yanks dont buy projects .....they only buy 10/10 restorations that are all shiny and sparkly.

Anyone know what Shannons sellers comission is? ...........have to be at least 10% ,Id imagine ,possibly more .

.there is a 350 AJS on ebay now with a start of $16k/8000GBP.....and no ,its not a 7R.

Imported from the UK. !
That alone would have cost him an arm and a leg.
The "1938" Norton there for $25k would take some beating. ?

The days of pirates about may not be be over....

A bit over $10k on todays rate......the card co gave me 49 p when I bought the valves .........anyhoo,you wont find any kind of 500 Velocette here under $25k (12k GBP).........there is a 350 AJS on ebay now with a start of $16k/8000GBP.....and no ,its not a 7R.

Just seen a very tidy  1971 Triumph Daytona   with a few bits missing (mufflers ,covers ,speedo/tach) go for $5000..........reckon some dealers will be sweating a bit............see some auction results from UK too .......owners here asking $20k + for Velo Venoms far of the mark.....UK auction sales of tidy Velos and Gold Stars around $10k A.
