SOLD US$4,000.00 - Bugger, I missed out... That would have looked great on the back of my 4/4, getting covered with rain and road grime.

Some adventurous bidding in this auction with a couple of days left. Not sure how the bidding works on BaT, but it went from $21,000 to $42,000 in one bid. Lot of money for a plastic replica  Looks like the bid is on the move as we get close to the end....

Lot of money for a plastic replica Looks like the bid is on the move as we get close to the end.... Not by much - went for $44,500, with only 5 bids in the last two days. I imagine that massive bid rather priced it out the market for most. I think the seller owes 3Gs a few beers

I love one of the quotes during the auction on the Harley Davidson engine - "Yesterday's technology at tomorrows prices"A new marketing slogan for Morgan perhaps....

Yes, saw that - the comments got a little heated at one point didn't they! Accusing 3Gs of bumping up the price to inflate the value of his own two Aces.
Still, the buyer says he's been trying to get hold of a M3W for ages and has not been able to, so at least he's got the next best thing.

In golfing terms this was an interesting auction to watch.
The opening strokes were a series of duff shots before the confident 42 bid. That swing was a carefully crafted draw out of the rough. It landed nicely on the green leaving a simple putt (with just a little bit of left to right) to sink the winner.
So where, in the scheme of 3-wheeler prices, does this leave us in relation to the M3W in the US market.
An examination of historic transactions on BaT is informative.
In summary:
• The first M3W trade occurred on BaT in March 2016
• There has been a total of 32 M3W auctions since
• Of those auctions, 26 were the 2010 + models
• Of those 26, 19 transactions were completed and 7 did not meet reserve
• The last sale exceeding this ACE was a 2016 M3W with 500 miles @ US$ 47,000 in March 2020
• There have only been 4 sales at prices above this ACE in BaT history
• The highest price was for a 2017 M3W in August 2019 for US$ 48,250 that included a custom-built registered trailer.
• The lowest price was for a 2013 M3W in April 2017 for US$ 30,000
This has been an interesting exercise
