Wow...

There's no way I'd even bother placing a bid on that. Who knows what you're ACTUALLY getting.
What's weird is that he's got all positive feedback... but they're all from sellers, speaking of him as a buyer.

I think it would be funny if the winner of this auction got EVERYTHING that he describes (except for the whole 4WD thing). A perfect 2002 Raptor with low hours, plus the helmet and goggles.
Yeah right...

In case you guys have not notice the more words you put in your title when selling something on EBAY the more hits you get when someone searchs for products.
Like if I was I would put something like this :


Forsale,Cheap,Used,New 2001 Yamaha Raptor Sport Quad,Not 250R,Honda,Suzuki,Kawasaki,Polaris,Bombardier,Ski-Doo,Cannondale or 4x4,utility,ATV,Motorcycle,Harley,RV.

When you do a search on EBAY it looks for key words and as you can see mine has most key words related to it :-)
Lol get my point?

I think anyone that has spent any time on Ebay realized that the first day they were there. The fact is he went on later in the description to say &quot;4 wheel driver 4 engine&quot; That is not coherent english!

I dunno, he said Raptor a bunch of times, but never mentioned the word Grizzly. I mean, it's written right there on the tank, you'd THINK that he's just too stupid to realize that it's not 4-wheel drive (because that would involve knowledge of the ATV, and if not that, then looking for a driveshaft), and not just plain too stupid to read.

However, after looking through that again... maybe he IS just too stupid to read...

Rocky, I somehow got that he was trying to say 4-stroke engine, but I think he got a little lost with the whole &quot;4-stroke&quot; and just remembered that the engine had the number 4 associated with it...

I'd not make any wager that it's a legitimate sale, probably hot merchandise He doesn't know what it's worth, it's specs or it's rightful owner for that matter... In a different sense it's as comical as that New Yorkers grizzly about a month ago, except I doubt his was hot. Someone ought to get in touch with the guy and lowball him on the price off of ebay, about 1500$
