I suspect he has a hidden desire to own one and is waiting for the price to fall to $2,999, this way he can say that nobody bought one for $3,000 but its okay that he paid below that figure |

What's wrong with reimproving something that could use a more ideal purpose. Ideas are what create success. Anyway, I'm just saying that BiGHA is doing something many dare not to attempt, they are reintroducing success out of a newly formed toolbox of ideas, 'because' it's possible... Nicholas H P.S.

Most auction items do not go for true market value, which is why you can often get a great deal on a car, a house or anything else on auction. Only silly personal items, like Princess Diana's toaster will get big bucks. If you're using this charity auction as means of assessing Bigha's value, you are mistaken. Geez, what has this come to? Bigha DONATES a bike to CHARITY and we pick on them? Earth to A.R.B.R.!!!! "skip" wrote in message ... There was a BiGHA on eBay auctioned by a charity with no reserve. It sold for $1,805.00. There were 50 bids with more than half of them from someone bidding as nsacres. There is a Mr. Acres, John I think, who is the chief executive of Bigha. It was listed as a recreational bike rather than as a recumbent. BiGHA seems to go to great lengths not to mention the word recumbent. Maybe that's a good thing. skip Who says Bigha donated it? Maybe someone bought it and found out what a clunker it was and unloaded to a charity for a tax write off. Lorenzo L.

disagreeance is enevitable. And also i'm not an 'advertising copywriter. -- NiCK Nick, as soon as I seen the title of the thread I knew you were going to get mostly "troll" responses especially from one individual whose inicials are LLL. On the up side, Entreprenuer Magazine a couple of months ago had a positive write up on BiGHa, though it centered mostly around John Acres's business savy and his knack for taking risks. The article did mention that at the time, BiGHa had already made several hundred thousand dollars in sales...good considering that they haven't been officially in business for a full year at the time. All in all, this is a great newsgroup but you got to separate the "chaff" from the good. Edward Wong Orlando, FL |

Bigha DONATES a bike to CHARITY and we pick on them? Earth to A.R.B.R.!!!! Just reporting the facts Mr. Turner. The point is whatever you choose to make of the facts. I do know it's a fact that Bay does not prepare the seller's listing for their auction as you suggest. That's always the seller's responsibility. In this case it was listing was for a "BiGHA Recreational Bike" as I stated previously and not as a "go-kart" as you state in your post. The auction number is 3634370495 if anyone wants to verify my statements. Again the bike was sold for $1805.00 on a no reserve auction where there were 50 bids with over half of them made by someone with the same last name as the BiGHA CEO. Make of that whatever you wish or nothing at all. The charity was WIRED Auctions for Starbright Foundation. Wired Auctions would seem to be an arm of WIRED Magazine. I don't think it would be unusual for the bike to come into WIRED's possession through an advertising agreement of some sort with BiGHA. The Starbright Foundation is listed as a charity benefiting sick children. skip |
