hmm seller has 0 feed back and the majority of the higher $$$ bidders have 0 feedback which is probably a fake bidder just to get the price higher.

What? The seller's account belongs to Jay Leno and his crew or whatever. They don't need to have any feedbacks; they just set up this account for this one charitable event. Jay Leno doesn't need to have any feedbacks! Do you think Jay Leno, a celebrity who's worth hundreds of million of dollars, would rip off anyone for a chump change, especially for a charity? Besides, his wife is famous for charitable works.

As for the bidders, they are PRE-APPROVED by Jay Leno's crew. That means they do a little investigation before letting people bid. In order to bid, you'd need to provide them with enough sufficient information and they will verify. If they sense that you have enough financial capability to buy it, then they'll let you bid on it. If the final buyer backs out after the auction, they'll sue his butt.

Please think at least a tiny bit before speaking. Most absurd thing I've ever heard on here! Are you a little kid?

well i am i bit younger but when i or my dad would sell things on ebay he would always say to watch out for sellers that have 0 or bad feedback. and that bidders with 0 feedback are usually people who bid the price up with no intention of buying it. im sorry i offended you.

Purple_sky

Yes, that is wise, but it only applies to "ordinary" sellers and buyers. This is an exceptional case, with the seller being world famous and the potential buyers are rich and also verified to an extent. There shouldn't be any worries about both parties. I wasn't offended, but I surely was shocked.

do you think if you sit on the bike the autograph would rub off?

Purple_sky

Uh, you don't sit on that bike, you decorate it. Potential buyers would buy it to decorate their business places or to compliment their collections. If I were rich and have a restaurant or something, I'd buy it to decorate my restaurant, while 95% of the purchase will go to help people, not Jay Leno.

Wow, thats awesome. I kept seeing the bike on the show and wondered when/how they were going to sell it. Really nice to see everyone helping out with this disaster.

It's for a good cause, I remember Stallone was there a week or so ago and he predicted half a million in the end.
