Check this out on ebay: a $325,000 starting bid for a 1960's vintage Huffy Eldorado:

I'm guessing that the seller either fat fingered the data, or he's joking, or he's crazy.

Well, Mike...

Take into account the fact that I got a newer Huffy for free, then it broke!
So, think about the possibilities of a vintage Huffy...

Mike, I think you are out of touch with the market.
Remember the Litespeed that was posted for over a million dollars? Well a HUFFY ought to be worth at least a third as much as a Litespeed, shouldn't it?

Well, I suppose you are right. I am feeling a bit foolish now. How will I ever stay dialed in? Heck, just three years ago I was buying these old bikes for between $50 to $150. Now they are worth more than the house. Better get a better lock on the garage door.

Too heavy and awkward for the Great American Huffy Toss.

Just checked the site. The price is now $325.00. Still overpriced IMHO.

How many 1960's huffy's are left, that might be 1-10 still alive :)

All joking aside, some of the older Huffy are becoming collectible. The 1956 Huffy Radio Bike, for example, is a very worthy collectible.

If it was still listed at $32500, and it didn't sell, what percentage would he owe e-bay?
