Che ti posso dire, se trovo degli acquirenti in Italia disposti a 
pagarli anche 40 euro, beh, sono spronato a prenderli anche se alcuni 
non mi piacciono proprio.
Invece sono incuriosito dai DVD promozionali giapponesi, che in realta' 
sono dei CD-rom da 650mb formattati come dei DVDvideo.

Description  (revised)   
YOU are bidding on the rolling chassis for a Honda CB500T, 1978
vintage. 
The CB500T was possibly one of the nastiest Honda twins ever made,
coupling excruciating vibration, lousy handling and a horrendous
engine in an unholy union of incompetent engineering. So the chassis
isn’t worth talking about. 
Viewers will see this, but because there are so many people on Ebay
who appear devoid of functioning eyes and brain, I shall point it out,
in words of one syllable. This is for the benefit of those mental
defectives who’ve just found out how to turn the doorknob the right
way to escape from their remedial classes: 
THIS BIKE DOES NOT GO. IT DOES NOT RUN. 
The lack of engine is a clue. Ditto the lack of any fuel tank, a seat,
exhausts, ignition system and anything else usually associated with an
internal combustion engine and forward motion. Even freewheeling it
will be fraught with excitement, because it hasn’t got a front brake
either. See? Nor handlebars, so steering it will be an adventure. A
frame, forks, pair of wheels, and a few odds and sods, and what you
see in the pic (try
http://www.chateau.murray.dsl.pipex.com/CB500Twreck.jpg
 if you want)
is your lot. 
Now, I’ve got a bit tired of the decerebrated turnips that bid on
Ebay, as perusal of the old C90 that I sold (item no. 2442354423) will
show. Possession of a powerful computer is no substitute for a working
brain. Only the other week I was sitting beside an American female in
a business centre in a Chilean hotel, as she tried to connect to her
Yahoo messager that normally pops up on her screen at home. Needless
to say, it didn’t there. I suggested she try her Yahoo email, and she
asked how to find that. So I told her to go to 
yahoo.com
 and watched
as she added an extra w to the www, no dot and an extra c in com. 
And then she called the hotel girl over and complained to her she’d
forgotten her Yahoo password, and could she help? The girls's face was
a picture. I have no idea what: "You complete imbecile!" is in
Spanish, but I can mime it now. At this point I left them to it. And
these people have Ebay accounts... terrifying, isn’t it? So anyone I
consider particularly bereft of clue will have their bids cancelled. 
Then there are the people who screw up in their bidding, by bidding
£111 instead of £11. A tip: if you suffer from Parkinson’s Disease,
don’t bid on Ebay. And instead of retracting the bid, they send me
damn stupid long-winded, illiterate and nonsensical emails (the sort
of thing that, on paper, would be written in purple crayon with LoTs
oF rAndoM CApITaL LeTters). Same applies. 
Then there are the people who bid just to see what happens. They've no
intention of buying: they just bid to see the numbers change and their
name on the screen. These are the sort of people who'd bang lumps of
plutonium together because they've heard it makes a pretty spark.
Ebay's infested with the sods. 
So what is this heap good for? Beats the hell out of me. For the last
two years it has been used as a ground anchor for my trailer. That’s
right, I’ve kept it because it’s just a large heavy lump of pig iron
that prevents something rather more valuable[1] being stolen. You may
find a better use for it, but I never have. 
I’m installing a proper ground anchor for the trailer and was going to
throw this heap away, but it occurred to me that if some lunatic was
prepared to pay £41 for the C90 mentioned above, then I might (a) get
some cash and (b) save myself the trouble of carting it down to the
dump. There are mental defectives on Ebay who will pay for anything.
Finding someone prepared to pay for that C90 was like finding someone
willing to hand over cash in exchange for mud. So someone might want
to buy this derelict example of Japanese industrial archaeology. 
Starting price is 99p. Buyer collects by the end of December 2003. I
can deliver, but I'll charge 50p/mile, each way, so you don't have to
be Stephen Hawking to work out that if you live 25 miles away it'll
cost £25, but as ever, this ad has to cater to the lowest forms of
intelligent life in the Great Ebay Universe, so there: I've spelled it
out. Oh, and for the real thickos, look at the "location" tag. I'm in
south-west London. Nowhere near, for example, Glasgow. 
What’s intriguing is that the main frame tube has been welded up, just
aft of the engine top mount, and painted with red lead. This implies
either that it cracked through vibration, or that someone thought of
chopping the frame and changed his mind, or that somebody wanted to
try the angle grinder and welding torch he got for Christmas. But the
wheel hubs are OK. The back wheel is the same as for the CB550, and
they have a reputation for cracking their hubs. This one’s fine, if
you have a CB550 with a cracked hub. There are some primitive
electrical components still on it, but don’t ask me if they work
because even Edison would consider it too much hassle. Amazingly, I
have a valid registration document for it. 
Zero feedback bidders I’d prefer to email me with their contact
details, or run the risk of Planet Earth’s Neutronic Bid Zapper
cancelling their bids. The feckwits who ask all sort of dim questions
will be treated harshly. WYSIWYG. Planet Earth's Alien Feedback
Division will deal ruthlessly with any NPBs. Beep. 
[1] Like a child's plastic tricycle. 
(Dateline 4 hours after auction start). Christ, so it begins. No, the
SuperSoaker isn't included. Nor the plastic bowl, spare wheel for my
trailer or indeed the wall behind the wreck, which is in fact the side
of my house.

And, blinking as their dulled reflexes try to cope with the light, and
their rudimentary nervous systems try to make sense of the
complexities of an on-line auction, out they come.... the first bidder
is in the US of A.

On 16-Dec-03 at 09:46:39 GMT, seller added the following information: 
Look, people, I've had emails from people saying they're bidding, and
intend to honour the bids for the laughs they've had, but have no
intention of actually taking possession of this valuable collector's
piece. Fine, thanks, and I'll raise the glass of beer your bid pays
for to your health, but if I just wanted the cash I'd put up an
auction saying "Send me money now!" and rely on the mental
bottom-feeders of Ebay to go: "Coo, I think I'll bid on that...". In
other words, I really do want somebody to pay me and take this thing
away. Optimistic and under the terms of this auction, unenforceable,
but there must be someone out there who actually wants it. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On 16-Dec-03 at 10:21:36 GMT, seller added the following information: 
Guess what? One of our cats has just pissed on it. Honest. Buyer to
bring rubber gloves. Oh, and if you find this fair and honest attack
on Ebay's more intellectually challenged members amusing, and you
really want to show your appreciation, you can click on the cafeshops
link above and buy a crappy mug or Tshirt. Better than bidding a fiver
and leaving me still in possession of this thing.

Ooooh, wasn't welt2 a clever little bunny, bidding when he's in
Australia? If you'd emailed me to say you were serious, welt2, I might
have left the bid up, but with zero feedback you've just proved
yourself to be one of the turnips. And there your bids go,
vapourised... Zappp!

And they come crawling out of the woodwork. You block his bids and you
get an email: "Well aren't you a miserable pr*ck." Nope, I'm not, I'm
a good-natured soul (see, I even edited your obscenity), but if
anyone's a pr*ck it's a zero feedback-rated ebayer in Australia who's
only bidding to waste my time. Now, does anyone else want to see their
name in lights?

On 17-Dec-03 at 07:13:17 GMT, seller added the following information: 
Oh Good God. Ebayers, meet g4-gertje. g4-gertje, meet the sharp end of
my keyboard. g4-gertje wants to know if I'll just sell the indicator
brackets for some project bike he has. g4-gertje is in Belgium and
thus separated from me by a few hundred miles, the English Channel
and, I suspect, several dozen IQ points. Does this auction say: "will
flog off minute components bit by bit"? NO! It's a damned auction. Buy
the whole thing or nothing at all. I mean, the winning bidder (who I
notice has a feedback of 1 and is teetering on the edge of Bid Cancel
Canyon, might want them as well. Unlikely, but can you imagine
actually winning this pile of crap and finding that the one component
you want from it has been sold? 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On 17-Dec-03 at 19:03:50 GMT, seller added the following information: 
My, aren't there some clever little mammals on Ebay? Quite apart from
the hundreds of would-be comedians who are asking "How much for the
SuperSoaker?", thereby proving that, yes, they have the visual acuity
of, and can read web pages about as well as, a one-eyed rhinoceros
peering through the wrong end of a telescope, there are the
timewasting bidders. All sellers get plagued by these, and meowmix3001
has now just been pushed over the edge of Bid Cancel Canyon.
Fortunately he (this type is invariably male) landed on his head, so
no vital organs were damaged. What's the joke, meowmix3001? Does being
4000 miles away make it OK to waste people's time? How many other Ebay
items have you bid on, with no intention of buying? I bet the other
bidders are now crapping themselves - you may think you're safe,
several bids down the ladder, but if I cancel more bids your own will
be dragged into the light. And trust me, I will insist on payment or
the alternative of very negative feedback and an NPB filing......

Tra l'altro non ha tutti i torti. Se andasse su EBay a chiedere la
carita', probabilmente diventerebbe ricco :P
