So! which mazdarotaryclub member is going to trailer this into Rotorstock III behind their RX ??????

[g11ary]

does look very nice. Some one you know?

[Norton]

Some one you know?
Not so far as im aware

^ Norton, given your knowledge on rotary bikes, what would you expect the price of this bike to be (ish) as it is presently at £3500 with reserve not met?

Cheers,

Ian.

[Norton]

Hmm, i wonder how high the reserve is. I wouldnt have thought it would be very much higher than 3500, maybe 4500??, but sometimes people have high (possibly over-inflated) expectations of the value of things.

[Ianmcurtis]

^ So, would these actually sell for £4500 normally then? Just wanted an idea of a realistic price ;-).

[Gman]

Do any ever come up as restoration projects for under a grand?

Yes, around £4000 to £4500 is about right.

Ive never seen an RE5 advertised that cheaply.

[Ianmcurtis]

^ Flippin heck, that much!!!!! They couldn't have cost more than a couple of grand new - if that?

Cheers Norton.

£1200 i believe :D and that was considered to be expensive at the time!!

[Norton]

Only a day and a half to go !! get those bids in
thats got you wondering... is Norton on commission ?? :xconfused

[Ianmcurtis]

Err........at this price someone IS on something that's 4 sure !!!! Ha, ha.

Cheers mate, hope u make bundles of cash ;-).

[Norton]

Somebody on here must have bundles of cash burning a hole in their pocket :evillaugh Sadly im not on commission.
Auction ends at five thirty pm

[Norton]

Somebody put a last minute bid for £4100 in but it still said 'Reserve not met'.
Doesnt look as though we will see it at Rotorstock III then !!

[Ianmcurtis]

^ Perhaps the present owner could bring it to RSIII if it doesn't sell? I'll send a message to that effect via eBay's 'Ask seller a question'. I'll post if any response.

Ian.

Perhaps the present owner could bring it to RSIII. I'll send a message to that effect via eBay.
Any luck Ian?

I contacted the seller and mentioned MRC. He did reply and told me that he's a member of some other rotary clubs and owned various rotaries over the years. Unfortunately I managed to delete his reply by accident.... doh!
