450 Rebel Auctions On eBay

[GearJammer]

Did anyone else see that MINT condition '87 Rebel on eBay yesterday with a Buy It Now of $3000 ? I don't see it listed & haven't checked the completed listings, but am assuming it got snagged pretty quick.

There's another VERY clean '87 450 Reb on eBay right now with a Buy It Now of $2400. That one probably won't last thru the day either.

If I'm not mistaken, the price of the average, used 450 Rebs seem to be coming down just slightly ? But those "mint" condition ones are getting sold quickly! Not sure of the collectibility of these 450 Rebs, but would guess that with the limited 2 yrs. production run & if they're in immaculate condition, some collectors would definitely be interested in acquiring one for their stable.

Your probably right GJ, but I ain't stabling her! I have been riding regular.....put 150mi on her yesterday and 90mi on her the day before and gonna do at least another 30mi today (rode to work) 8)

That's the spirit, Snorey! The collectors can spend their $$$ however they choose, but museum pieces don't impress me, either.

Motorcycles are meant to be RIDDEN & ride 'em we does....do ? does ? Whatever, we get saddle-time! LMAO!

i honestly dont think many people relize how rare the 450 rebels are. I know the guy i bought mine off of would have had alot higher price on it if he knew what i knew at the time of the sell. The rewards of researching before buying really pays off!!! lol

Agreed. The more people that buy computers & have access to places like eBay, the fewer the deals that will be available. When I'm shopping for old Brit parts locally, I always HOPE that they don't have computer access yet, LMAO!
