Did you notice the uly on EBAY from the Ft. Smith AR dealer? It's up to $9600. Ah, the new world of commerce.

Given my experience with the sales dept. at that dealership, nothing surprises me. I don't know why they bothered [or were allowed] to keep the Buell line, frankly. The sales guy told me he didn't even want it on the floor. Looks like his prediction that "No one will buy that thing" became a self fulfilling prophesy, hence the eBay "Hail Mary" move.

The service guys there are very pro-Buell, though. Isn't it interesting how that often seems to be the case?

IIRC, DaveS has said that Buell dealers selling new Buells on ebay violates their franchise agreement.

They have been reported to the factory.
Selling new Buells on Ebay is in direct violation of their dealer agreement.

I suggested in my email to them that if they can't sell Buells, especially the Uly they should just give them up.

Daves,

Is it possible that their intent in violating the agreement was to have their Buells taken away?
