I've been checking prices for a couple of weeks myself. Bikes on ebay with 300 or less miles go for $7k.

Right now there are over 50 completed actions for Nightsters. The ones that have sold ( only 2 ? ) are the 300 miles and less bikes for ~$7k. People bid up to ~$6.5k for the avg. bike. I don't have a clue why people list bikes for $8.5k and UP.

IMHO the people telling you that's a good is only because they paid more.

Be patient. The so-called "bad economy" is your friend. These sellers will panic and sell at ~ $6.5k. Just give them some time to sweat. My $.02 .
