There has to be something 'strange' about that auction, and that's not even considering that the seller only has a 89% positive rating with only 15 EBay transactions.

But $1,000 for a used set of Santee pipes?

I just checked my newest J&P Cycles catalog, and they carry the 2.5", .50 Caliber pipes that are exactly like the ones shown in the above auction. ((The PN is 450-330 for the 2004+ Sportsters)).

The J&P price for a Brand New set is $499.

people think the item is the bike , not the pipes, look under item description.
Some ones gonna be retracting bids I think....
As far as the 0 feedbacks and bidders names, he has a hidden reserve on the item so feedback scores and bidders names wont show up for the whole auction. My guess is he had a reserve that was met right off because bidders thought they were bidding on a sportster as the description says.

His percentage and bad feedback was cause he left bad feedback on someone else and they didnt like it so they returned the favor, though the auction does seem a lil effed up, but then again there are stupid people

LoL...

American Classic Motors is selling the same 50 Caliper pipes on EBay (and they are NEW), for $359 plus $22 shipping.

Yeah, the first bidder was the only one of the three that had any feedback at all. I'm sure bidder 2 and 3, who had 0 feedback,are just there to jack it up.
