LOL! I could just imagine hearing the seller talk to his girlfriend: "Yeah babe, just loan me another grand! You know, when my bikes sell, I'll have plenty of money and pay you back!"

Everything the Seller is offering for sale is the same way, and everything he/she has sold has been an accepted lower price offer.
The Seller has not sold a single bike, although several are listed. The asking prices are too far out (as already stated can be a problem with this strategy).
Nah, marketing strategy might be to price something 10-25% over what it's truly worth. At 1000% over true value, and having them sit on Ebay for YEARS, I doubt anyone would make any offers. When you see prices like that, you just assume the seller is insane. (And he probably is).
