Nope, it went the full distance. I was watching it all week.

Well considering it was sold in the incorrect category with a misspelled and poor choice’s of keywords in the title, and the seller knew nothing about it, one should not be surprised it sold for so little with only three bidders. This should have been a 10-day auction and not seven. Don’t be surprised if the sale doesn’t follow through as people will contact the seller post-facto and offer way more money. It has happened to me and have lost out.. I wouldn’t have found this and clicked watch had I not been searching filtered categories, as just searching “vintage kart” with not return many results as more and more un-educated sellers pile on with careless listings with non essential titles and descriptions.

On the other hand if you believe what the talking heads are saying about the much-improved economy, well; you just go on and keep believing!

guys,
before it starts we don't talk politics on the forum.

the kart went cheap maybe it'll get resold maybe somebody got lucky.
 certainly is a cheap sell anyone here would've paid more. 
prices don't seem to be dropping which is not surprising.
in fact seeing stuff for sale on ebay is encouraging since there's very little offered anymore.
i myself can'yt stand selling on ebay so i don't.

on the growth of vintage karting.
  i've heard vintage karting is the fastest growing sector of karting but i have no way of confirming this statement.
i do know there's alot of newbes building karts and asking questions over in facebook land.
it is a bad development since searching facebook for info is ponderous at best.
the pages aren't searchable and the info gets lost.

if anyone feels like it directing people to the actual websites would be useful. 
this website/forum in particular is dedicated to saving and arranging the info in ways that make the info easier to find.
