Sure! I would get as much info as possible. Maybe try and find one within a couple hundred miles so you could go look at it. If you can't go see it your taking a chance but if you email the seller ask for there phone number and give them a call.
I've bid on several but I'm always looking for HD's I can pick up at trade in value or close to it. I have found that the reserve prices are on the high side and if I'm going to pay retail I'll go to a dealer or find one local.

 

I bought the bike pictured below on Ebay. Great price. No problems. Great Bike.

 

I bought my last Harley on eBay. It was in Cookeville, Tn. The cost of flying there and riding it back was the cost of a neat mini-vacation. The bike was perfect.

 

Ebay is where you sell, Craigslist is where you buy!

The bikes on Ebay seem to high!

 

I used to buy and sell dirt bikes on Ebay. Buy em broke fix them and resell for a profit. my best deal I had to drive from Dallas Tex to Jackson Miss for a package deal for like 1500. The guy was closing up shop. He just kept giving me stuff, and piling more and more onto my truck and trailer. I ended up with 4 3 wheelers. 3 mopeds, 2 kids dirtbikes, 3 4wheelers, one of which was a brand new sundiro 80cc, that wouldnt run because they didnt know that it had a safety tether kill switch in the back not connected, and all the parts to get them all runnning. plus many extra parts.
Correct me if I am wrong but I believe you have the right to back out of the deal upon inspection on pick up.
I dont do it anymore. Not profitable like it used to be. People now want full price for a ragged out, parts missing, piece of crap.

 

Bought mine from E-bay . I was lucky enough to know someone in the area so they went and took a quick look at it for me. Everything was good and I got a Great Deal. Best Part was payment wasn;t needed for a few days after so i got to go up and see it myself before handing over the Check.

Heck if it was one I really wanted I'm sure I could find someone here on the Forums to go take a Look and give me a report. I know I would do the same if someone needed me to go and the seller was OK with it as well.

I would gladly do this for anyone within a reasonable radius for sure .. Might make a good sticky for a topic..

 

I bought one of my bikes on EBAY. I sent a message to the buyer and asked him to agree to take it to a local dealer for inspection before I paid more than the deposit.He agreed, I was the high bidder, the dealer checked it out and did a full service on it and then arrranged for shipping. All in all, I got a great deal.

 

If you do an advanced search history on ebay you'll find not many make it to reserve.

Wishful sellers I guess, buyers market right now , I'm keeping my eyes peeled but got to see

it and feel right about it before cash trades hands,
