Mark & CR list,

I'm surprised there was no late action on the bike. I'll consult with Mr. Braunstein to decide the next move. I have been appraoched by the auction house that is taking over Southby cycle auction and we may place it there. Or just put it on our on-line store.

Strange that someone would bid $4,905 and not bid $5000 to see if that's where the reserve was set... I know, the high bidder probably bid $5k or more but it didn't reach reserve, so the bid we see is just the previous high bid + one increment. But the previous high bidder, "dickshooter", pulled out at $4,905. Not That There's Anything Wrong With That!

So Jim, if you're listening, have you decided what will become of it? Make a deal outside ebay with one of the bidders, or relist it, or...? I'm sure lots of people are wondering what the reserve was. I know you're not obligated to say, and there's good reasons to keep that confidential. I was just curious.
