This listing has had a lot of bidders but the bids just keep getting cancelled. There's no reserve. The bidding was up to around $7,500 when almost all bids got cancelled. There was one bidder that had accidentally bid over $30K and rescinded his bid. I thought the cancellations were because of that. However, I bid a generous amount this morning and not only did my bid get cancelled but so did most everyone's bid. Tonight, I found that I'm blocked from bidding??!! What the #$@$??  Weird! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180474709916&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT#ht_500wt_1182 |

Are you new to ebay? Have you bought/sold quite a few items? Some sellers will cancel your bid unless you have an established history with ebay. Sometimes you can contact them, and they will allow you to bid. Bidders with no or low positive history have a poor track record of paying.
I see no reason otherwise. If really interested, contact them right away, and maybe you can work it out.

I went and looked, and see cancelled bids by people with good history, maybe just contact the seller and ask why.

Looks like someone who doesn't want to sell it. Maybe his wife's making him put it up.  |

I have 348 feedbacks @ 100% positive. I have sent the seller a message but haven't yet gotten an answer. Go figure. Maybe my bid was insulting?!

At $3,000 with only 10 hours to go it's a scam of some sort.
REMEMBER - If it seems too good to be true.......................................

It's been up over $7,000 and climbing before the cancellations. Like flamingobabe #44 I too have never seen anything like this. Let alone have been locked out from bidding. I wouldn't be surprised if this auction just disappears.

Report or Flag it to EBay and it just might go away. It is very odd.... Quote from the ad.... 1997 HONDA GL1500CX VALKYRIE, 6 cyl. Best of Show '98 World of Wheels 12,900 mi, Garage Kept, Excellent Condition, Corbin Seat, Elec.Trunk, Power Assist Steering, Cover. If you have any questions let me know. WTH is Elec. Trunk and how many times have you seen Power Assist Steering on a Trike????  |

Trunk and how many times have you seen Power Assist Steering on a Trike???? The poor description and canceling bids don't show up as reasons that an ad can be flagged or reported. It just doesn't fall under any one of eBay's categories to report under. The eBay email that I received after my bid cancellation warns me to not respond to direct email with an offer to purchase direct after the auction is completed. I'll be waiting. . . |

He has cancelled a bid for $31,105 and he's cancelled a total of 32 bids. The selling price is down to about $1,000 again.

The bidding has ended. It was wiping out bids right until the end. I even bid $2 in the last minute and it was gone by the time the auction ended. I would say that the seller got cold feet and decided not to sell it but in order to keep from incurring costs with ebay, they canceled the bids. jmho...

Yep... something is up with that. I bid a few times, never more than $10.00 and my bids were cancelled right up to the end. I wonder what that was all about..... I kept getting this message from EBay.....
eBay Bid Cancellation Notice - Item
Dear eBay Community Member,
The bid that you entered for the item (180474709916) has been cancelled. You can view the reason provided for the cancellation by selecting the (bid history) link from the individual item page.
Please be cautious if you are contacted about purchasing this item after the bid has been cancelled and as always avoid paying for your eBay item using instant wire transfer services through Western Union or MoneyGram as these payment methods are unsafe when paying someone you do not know.
Regards,
eBay
Oh I liked this message..., but knew it wouldn't last long LOL
You're currently the high bidder.
So far, so good! Your bid has been confirmed, and you are the high bidder. It's almost yours, but you could still be outbid. You can improve your chances of winning by increasing your bid.
Honda : Valkyrie
Honda : Valkyrie
Current price:
$1.00
