Talking Got Greedy, end up paying $40 more...

Hey members, so I was looking for a full exhaust system for my bike. I came across this item on eBay.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Honda-CBR-90...vip=true&rt=nc

The buy it now price was $225.00 & starting bid price is $175.00

I was thinking, got greedy, thinking maybe no one else want this, trying to save $50, so i bid at $175.00, that kill the buy it now option.

all is well, but then the last 20 minutes, some dude came in and bit all the way to $250.00

I wanted to give up, but price is too good to let is go. So when 8 seconds left on listing, I bid $275.00. I end up winning at $265.00 shipped. This is $40 more Vs. if I would of buy it now at $225.00

so, lesson learned is don't be too greedy in life. Take advantage of opportunity when it presents itself. $265 aint bad, but $225 was a steal.

It is a new Vance & Hines SSR-2 system.

It's a risk you take Dennis. but every now and again it bites you in the bum

I've definitely had more wins than losses so will keep with my strategy for ebay.

Looks a good system though - and shipping is included, so not too bad at all.

Cheers, SB

yeah, the system look clean. Can't find too many out there for the older models. Overall a good buy indeed. I see listings on eBay asking $250 just for the can...LOL...
