How in the world is a bike that Chad Reed rode for five minutes selling for $85k +.. If you look at the bidders on the bidding list, there aren't that many, and some of them have bid without being outbid.. If you look at the buyers accounts some of the people have never bid on anything other than this bike.. Something smells a little fishy..

The bids between 15K and 85K look legit, those are bidders with 100+ transactions. $85K... damn, talk about a DEVOTED two stroke enthusiast!!

I think someone in Chads camp is fn with him. No way someone pays almost 100k for a dirt bike.

Wonder what my bike would fetch with a autographed busted helmet and a pair of leathers they cut off in the ambulance?

I would actually expect you to already know the answer to that.

I can't be the ONLY one thats having a HAAAAARD time believing these bids of 80+ THOOUUUSAND $$$ are legit for a bike that isn't even Reed's and one that he only ripped around the stadium for 5 minutes which carries along with it MANY different opinions / DRAMA as to whose right and whose not in this deal. Captain obvious just reminded me that its not too difficult to set up an Ebay acct or use your existing one and bid like CRAZZZY for an item (such as this) and have little to no repercussions from ebay if you don't follow through.

His CRF's that he rode for nationals a few years back, that were in FACT his only went for around 20-24k on ebay if i remember right. That whole auction REAKS like striped BASS!

The winners memory probably has a little lapse as well!

It is pretty amusing but, I don't think that a legit Chad Reed championship bike would get 110K.

Whoever is doing this is a dickhead straight up. Not cool to play with someone's emotions like that.

I am also surprised that Ebay hasn't pulled the auction by now. Blush

The same person, bidding multiple times in a row, the price being higher than the last bid? Seems a little weird to me...

This should make the 6 o'clock news. Maybe Supercross will get a bit of attention, and I smell fish.

u must not understand how bidding works. he put in a max bid....what your seeing is people bidding the price up and not getting over his max bid...so it shows as multiple bids from him.

Wonder if the folks F'n with the bids on this are sitting here reading this laughing right now?

Personally, I don't think it is all that funny. Whatever happened isn't worth botching someone's eBay sale. BTW, eBay sucks ass, enjoy the eBay fees with that one.
