I'll have to study ebay's rules on mc listings. It sounds like they have tried to draw some fine lines but they ended up being kind of fuzzy in the real world. I ended up selling some parts a while back and it seems to me I could use the category "european MC parts" OR Norton MC's. When I tried to go with anything specifically Norton I ended up in the complete MC category . I was so flustered after a while I left them there as if they were a complete bike and ebay didn't say boo about it. It was only some front brake parts as I recall.
This auction being discussed is another. 4 bikes all in parts, none complete apparently and only 2 with titles. I think the expired 850 is a lot more complete than any of these. and as far as coldcommandocafe's query, I'd rather have 4 like this 850 that the 4 750's in this auction for this kind of cash.
I wonder what the seller of these 4 bikes paid for them. The original guy he bought them from seems to have come to the conclusion it wasn't worth spending any more time and money on them for what he could sell them for when he completed them. Without taking a trip over to see what's what I'd say the reseller's reserve is too high. But, different strokes for different folks, it's all about what it's worth to each individual.
