Not me, mine wasn't even allowed to be put forward.

I hazard a guess that it wasn't very high though....

To be fair, there's some value in the bits, there's presumably three good carb bodies and an airbox. It's just that there's less than £100 worth there on a good day when it's all mint... lol If the first bid was £20, I'd be less inclined to poke fun!

How about a CBR250RR MC22?

Damaged, parts missing, and stored for 10 years. A snip at £1995

This is the original CBR250 that revs to F1 hights of 24,000 rpm. How about £1750?

No? Well how about £1500?

Got to admire the optimism. But don't get me wrong I think this would be an awesome bike and a great project, so much so I would buy it myself, but not at that price. I think £1 per CC is a more accurate appraisal of its current value...

I think the seller is getting CBR250 values mixed up with NSR250's. I too would like an IL4 250 but I wouldnt pay more than a grand for a decent one.
