Wankel,

 I was coveting that 957, but I will leave it for you.

That Newport however, how bad do you want it?  I live 15 minutes away from it.

shovelon, thank you, but go for it!. I went up to $50 on the 957, but I just got out bid. You are more than welcome to take it from there.
  I would love to get that Newport - but I can't get ahold of the person I had in mind for going and getting it (if I won). So, I guess not bad enough to go pick it up - hehe. Thank you shovelton, have a great day man! It's sunny here all week, 'bout time :).

That would make a great ride for my son.  Then he would have the same bike as his Mom and Me!  A trio of 957's!  BTW, it is Definitely a small.  My wife's is also a small.

Wish I had seen this when it had the buy it now.  I might have found a way to do that, but since that is spoiled I bet it goes for quite a bit more.  Unfortunately can't afford any more than that. >:(

You'd be surprised how often things don't make it back up to their buy-it-now price. Usually, if there's a decent buy-it-now, somebody will just pay that much. If there's not a reserve, other, cheaper people will bid on it hoping that without the buy it now option, it might last at a lower price. (That's what I sometimes do, anyway...) ;)

Of course, that's not nearly as frustrating as when something sells for a lot MORE than the buy-it-now. That's when you REALLY kick yourself for not buying when you had the chance!  >:(

Well, it's now only 56 cents from the original buy it now with quite a ways to go.
