your right. im new to the whole computer ebay advertising thing. i had my sister put the bike on ebay 6 months ago but she screwed it up. i just got my first computer(believe it or not) although i use one at work(not for advertising). most of the calls ive received have been positive and informative although some crackpots as well. i know i dont have the reputation i need on ebay to encourage buyers thats why i would hope the really serious buyer would come and look at the bike in person even if it is far to come. i know in other collectable fields, collectors come from all over to look and purchase items in person. anyway thanks again. joe
