Yes, good deal. But it also tells you something about the resale value and resale difficulty of the Blur. If you are going to buy one, probably smart to buy used and intend to keep it for a while.

I'm a little confused about your Blur-related posts.....

- A few days ago, you bumped a "blur for sale" posting in the "for sale" section, but didn't receive an answer.

- You then posted in the "for sale" section that you were looking for either a 170i or Blur 220i for under $2000 including shipping.

- You posted here about an ebay auction that pretty much seems to be the scoot you are looking for.

- You posted the same ebay listing in the "for sale" section, but this time stating that it's too bad that you don't fit on a Blur.

Are you looking for a Blur for yourself, or are you getting it for someone else?

Actually, there's 2 Blurs for sale on eBay at this time, both in FL, with the above one closing in about 2 1/2 hours. It's currently at $1,300 with no reserve and barring any last minute frenzied bidding, it will likely be a bargain. BTW, you're posting this on the Buddy forum but not on the Blur forum. If you really want to help the guy, shouldn't it be on the Blur forum as well?

It was a great deal. Closed at $1,552.77 unless that's all an '011 220i Blur is worth these days. Hope you were the successful high bidder as they are a great scoot. I'll definitely be keeping mine for awhile.

You want it?

Apparently I got some malware on my machine, and someone bought it. Thankfully my ebay acct is linked paypal so they couldn't actually pay for it or ship it to themselves.

Weird.....

No, I think he's saying that technically he DID win the auction. Except he wasn't even trying to.

Thank heavens!

I would LOVE to own a blur, but I've got plenty, and you don't have to ship it!

Bonus points if you send/post a first ride pic of 'my' blur :P.

I'm still confused by the whole thing. My wife claims innocence, wasn't home, and doesnt' access my computer. However, I don't see someone/something gaining access to that info and bidding on a bike. I reimaged my computer just in case and sat, saddened that I can't ride it.

I like that bag on top of the tank. How does it attach and is it an easy removal for refueling? What's the brand name? BTW, nice going. You made a heckuva good buy.
