    This is the one time Rick is probably happy he did not get the bike. I read the guy restored it then only got $99k at auction for it. So in reality he should have accepted the $85k offer and he would have been better off.

      You said that he restored the bike. The question is how good the restoration job was. A crap restoration may DECREASE the value of the bike. I suspect that his restoration attempt was similar to how he cared for that bike.

    I got to meet Steve McQueen when working on his neighbor's house ( the Pritchetts) back in '77-'78.He kept most of his bikes in his garage and road daily. His favorites were the (2) 1919 Aces-one with a sidecar and a '47 Indian Chief Rat.He'd take them to the Trancas Market and back.....he loved his bikes and talked about them and showed them off to almost anyone(me!) Steve really was cool.....

      He meant time value of money. A dollar today is not the same as a dollar tomorrow. Plus, keeping something in storage actually costs money to him. He pays rent, utilities, salaries, mortgages etc etc. You can't realize this immediately but it all adds up in the end and he needs to take this into account.

    If I was the guy I'd get it tidied up myself and at least running before even considering selling it. It wouldn't cost that much really to sort those few issues out and clean everything up really nice.

    A 1940 Indian 4 in good running condition without welds on the motor case and matching #'s is worth $65-85K.
    A 4 is a "holy grail" collector bike. Add Steve McQueen to the equation, and at the Vegas auction even in it's present condition, the owner would net at least $120K. Still, $85K "as is" ain't ridiculous. It seems laughable the present owner would try to sell it
    with the obvious fire damage and non-period plug wiring.

      @@nn-nu8hf Commissions are at both ends at an auction. The seller pays more with a reserve price, and the buyer pays at least a 10% premium. Keep in mind the shipping charges to (and often from) Vegas with an unsold bike. Add to that the seller may be present at auction with his own travel and accommodation costs. On top of that, generally speaking values have stagnated or declined in recent years. It would be interesting to know if this bike has since sold, and for what $.

    they shoulda met in the middle at 100 g's. that thing would fetch a quarter mil after a few years, with a lil polishing. case in point...clapton's SG guitar (the fool), which todd rundgren let go for 120 g's which later fetched a half mil at auction. the name factor really does make items more valuable

    This is just my personal guide after several emotional purchases- Never buy from a seller something they did not have detail cleaned and if a vehicle, don’t bother to have it ready to start and operate. They are lazy and what you are buying has not been taken care of. Unless of course that’s the point, selling at a discount as is not starting.
