Gotta love eBay sometimes
Just got an e-mail from the seller on the seat.
So
$63.52 - $35.28 = $28.24
eBay and Paypal fees prolly around $10 or so. So he did make less than $20 on the seat. He was close to paying me to buy it. LOL
Shipped! Shipping was $35.28. Not sure how eBay decided the shipping price? Should receive middle of next week.

At least send the poor Bastard a picture of the bike with the nice new seat on it...................... least You can do..........
Well I gotta feeling I won't be getting the seat. Because of his lack of ability to properly measure and weigh the package to get accurate shipping charges he has the nerve to send me an e-mail asking me for more money. Wow!!!!
Well he did ship it. And call be a softy but I kinda feel bad for the guy losing his *** on the seat. He isn't that experienced with eBay. I'm gonna slip him $15 when the seat arrives. Still got a helluva deal.
All I have read is the pre-2014 seats do not fit on 2014 bikes with tour paks. So if a pre-2014 seat fits a 2014 without a tour pak it would stand to reason a 2014 will fit a 2011. And I have seen a 2013 Sundowner mounted on a 2014. I believe it all as to do with the space between the tour pak and the back of the pillion. Mounting hasn't changed. And if you look at the aftermarket companies they show 2008-2014. Guess I will know for sure it a week.
The ONLY issue could be putting a '14 seat on a 13-older bike with a tourpak as the 14 seat pad is longer and wider, but the pan is the same.
Trust me.
I have a pre-14 seat on my 14 FLHTK with tourpak, and it fits like it was made for it.

I usually don't bother with ebay. People get into these stupid bidding wars and drive the prices up higher than they need to be. I usually only do BIN auctions for new parts. For used I put them in my watch list and go with about 5 minutes to go. If the price isn't above what I am willing to pay I will snipe it. I usually keep two or three widows open with progressively higher bids. I start sniping at 30 seconds and hope for the best.
And I bet this guy is kicking himself for not having a higher starting bid or a reserve. After shipping, ebay and Paypal fees he prolly made $20 tops.

I've been able to get some fastastic buys on eBay. I find it amusing when the bidding goes beyond what i am willing to pay for a new item and the winning bid plus shipping ends up being more than retail.
