Does anyone know anything about the Bike Bug?

I got this Bike Bug bicycle motor at an estate sale. It's never been used. I'm going to sell it on ebay, and I don't know much about it. All I could find on it was that it was made sometime in the 70's or 80's and it's made by Aquabug International, Inc. Any other info would be great. I'd like to be able to answer any questions potential buyers might have. Thanks.

Here's a link to the listing. You can see my descriptions pretty generic.

There is a later model kit that I like much better. You can see that version on the Bike Bug site. It has a clutch.

Wow! It's already up to $383.98 I doubt it'll go much higher than that.

Looks like I have 3 days and 14 hours of inactivity ahead of me. I like selling on eBay for the rush you get from watching the price jump during the last few min when you have no idea of the value. Not that I'm complaining.

Oh, you might be surprised. I have no idea about the value of your specific item but I would bet there is a last second spike... that is when the snipe bids and twitchy fingers go to work. I know the rush you are talking about but I am usually on the other end. 3...2...1.... DANG, outbid again.

Good luck!
