Got to be kidding

[jhawk]

Am I alone in thinking this guy totally out of his mind?  

And, isn't the R1200-C about the least desireable BMW... ever?

http://kansascity.craigslist.org/mcy/2529057447.html

2000 BMW R12000-C with 820 miles = $16,000 firm  

I thought about sending him a link to KBB, but haven't done it yet

[Rincewind]

 

Least desireable BMW was built off of that - the R1200CL.  

[falconati]

LOLLLLL.  We should all send emails.

"Price is FIRM, if you don't like the price try and find one with less miles in this condition. "




Hmmmm.  For $16K I think I could buy a pair of them with similar miles in that condition.  

[cbsnbiker]

But...but...but, it has *tassles*!

 

Perhaps it would be worth that much to a collector if it were still crated. Perhaps not.

[napper]

Don't they usually justify the price on these because James Bond rode it?

Here's my e-mail


You are on some kind of new hallucinogen, what's the name of your dealer?

Even the real James Bond, Sean Connery, couldn't make that bike cool.

Holy krep, what did those go for NEW?

Guzzisti love these types of threads cuz we can laff and point while hiding the Centauro under a tarp

[veefer800canuck]

He reworded the ad to take out the price:

We have a 2000 BMW r1200 cruiser with 820 original miles. My mom wanted this bike and just never rode it very far. Always stored inside and cared for like a baby. Had to put a new battery in it , starts right up and sounds and looks like a new one. We want no trades, cash is prefered. Will meet at your bank for funds exchange no checks of any sort and will no ship. e-mail only. Price is HIGH, so we will consider offers.

I think the owner is HIGH.

Just because its like the one James Bond rode, doesn't mean shit.

I'll give you 1500.00 for it.

Holy krep, what did those go for NEW?  

New was around $12K maybe a little more, depending on extras..... current used is around $7K..... low mileage ones go for around $7,500... some are asking as high as $9K

[Mr.Black]

My reply I received this morning;


You like to suck cock domt you fag.

[stromgal]

It appears he's removed any contact info from the ad?   Shoot, I was just gonna send him a link to a Jaxed mashup for 1200Cs. To help with his pricing quandary.

He's projecting.

It's not that I like it. A guys got to make a living, right?

Maybe he should link his ad into one of the alternative personals sections of Craigslist....

[Major 662]

Lessee, wonder if he (a.k.a. "his mom") rode it 6 miles/month or perhaps he did a few 100-200 mile rides and let it sit idle for 2-4 years between rides.  And sorry, the tassles don't come with the bike -- they're extra.

Too bad ya can't see his other listings, like eBay.  Eyeglasses with one lens missing: $184 (they're Oakley frames).  Broken pocket knife with some rust: $48.  Piece of string (needs to be cleaned): $8.

OK, so maybe he is charging 1/3 more than the price of the bike new for the privilege of letting him store it for a decade.  I think his Tony-Robbins-esque communication skills will allow him to close the deal.

As Monty Burns once said, "Who is that young go-getter?!?"

Yeah, bit it's a COLLECTOR'S ITEM right?  

Seriously, I think he's just punking you guys.
