There is another Spyder on Ebay which I am sure will be gone soon. The seller has a copy of his buyers order on the listing showing he ordered it on 5/09/2007 and order number 1110. I know the number has nothing to do with the vin and who knows maybe the Spyder isn't as popular in Palm Beach Florida (not) and he is one of the first allocation bikes from the dealer. I guess that might be the answer on how his dealer would tell him that he will be getting delivery in mid October. He lists

I spoke with the distributor (Palm Beach Cycles) on 9/23/07 and I was informed that the Spyders should be delivered mid October.

. And to top it off he has two on order

I have two Spyders on order, at the present time I am only selling one. But, I might consider selling the second one. Please contact me to further discuss

. Maybe two for the price of one

Isn't there copyright on the photos and specs? Maybe that's why the other ones were pulled from Ebay.

Found this on the web.... Not only is this a violation of eBay rules (it can get you suspended or even banned if you do it repeatedly), but it is also a matter of copyright infringement. In short, you can be sued in civil court for compensation if another seller finds you using his or her image on your auction listing. So don't do it.

and on ebay

eBay members are not allowed to use another eBay user's pictures or descriptions in their listings or About Me pages without the owner's permission.

Violations of this policy may result in a range of actions, including:

Listing cancellation
Loss of eBay fees
Limits placed on account privileges
Loss of PowerSeller status
Account suspension
Examples

A seller doesn't know the best way to describe an item. The seller copies a substantial amount of another member's description and pastes it into a listing, without receiving the original writer's permission.
A seller uses someone else's picture and includes it in a listing, since it looks very similar to the item the seller is offering.

another SPYDER auction ends suddenly... This is now the 4th SPYDER that has been on e-bay and ended early and unsold.

 

[okverne]

that is freaky. i would like to know the real reason they are getting yanked off ebay....

 

[johndjmix]

Only way to know is to try. Someone on here put your spyder up and just set the reserve at like $40,000 to be sure it doesnt sell (If it does its 40K!). Then come back and let us know why the auction got yanked!

I can tell you from my experience. I was the first one to put a spyder on ebay. It was up to $22,600 and I got a call from my dealer last monday. Explaining that BRP found out who I was and where I ordered it and pressured him to tell me to cancel the auction because they where going to cancel or delay shipment of my spyder. They also threatened the dealer saying that he was involved with my auction even though he didn't even know anything about it. Also he stated that it was against ebay rules to sell an item without having possession of it.

I believe the same has happened to atleast one of the other ones.

Later,

Shawn

I think it is very low of you to try to do this....

glad you got busted......

 

[rbnicklin]

I contacted the seller of the last one on e-bay. He was notified by e-bay that he could not offer an item for sale that he did not already have.

That's funny I buy pre-releases of new DVD movies on e-bay all the time.

I think he's incredibly smart. Don't be hatin just because he had a great idea and will probably make $10K on a $15K investment....

 

[phil209]

tell em marc..i'am getting two and you can bank one is to sell....maybe two if $$$$$$ is right...

 

[Danimal]

Well guys.. if it was OKAY to do.... Ebay and BRP wouldn't be having any problems with you doing it.

Once they are in your garage.... you can do what you want.....

This one shouldnt get yanked. The seller is auctioning his place in line,not the Spyder itself. Does the plaque with the numbers come with the owners name? If so,that might be a small drawback.

 

[Way2Fast]

Ebay shouldn't be able to pull this one, however the dealer who has the deposit isn't required to sell the Spyder to anyone other than the original depositor. Whoever wins this auction will no doubt wind up with a useless slip of paper !!

Thanks for permission there...LOL

BRP isn't stupid. They do this stuff to generate market share and demand. Just like the "leaked" pictures of the new XP last year. I'd bet a paycheck BRP leaked them.

....you would lose a paycheck then

 

[Danimal]

What is an XP???

I don't know about the guy selling his downpayment....wonder if the dealer will allow this....

I keep checking Ebay as I do a bit of business there... have not seen any actualy bikes listed again.... but I will report them if I do.

It's just not right to list something for sale that you do not yet own.
