I think you have the correct answer. But what I think does not count!

I do think some of those EBay people have some serious reality prob's that is a more correct and valid answer IMHO

I like how the seller said the MoCo doesn't even have one. Ummm, yeah they do, it's in the Archives book.

Whether he is looking to sell or not, saddest part is that Ebay is going to charge this nim-nuk a percentage of his asking price! That's almost a third to half of its real time value paid out whether the bike sells or not!
Oh well, they say theirs one born every minute!

That was my 1st thought. I told the wife I could not sell the 81 because it now has antique plates and the value will just go up and up the longer we keep it. ;-)
