If you still can’t believe what we’ve told, then here you have the seller’s advertising message on eBay:
“Twins...
Redheads. Two examples of the finest contemporary design Ducati has given us in this 21st century.
They are inseparable - for sale as a pair.. #'s 1588 & 1740
With zero and three miles respectively, these two motorcycles are as collectible as can be.
Let me be perfectly clear: This auction is for TWO MOTORCYCLES.
They are two of the lowest mileage examples of the MH900E to be found in the US, possibly the world.
90% of the proceeds of this auction: at least $900,000 - will be donated to charity [...]
My company rents these motorcycles for TV, film and retail promotions. We don't "need" to sell the bikes...
For the discriminating collector, the opportunity to have these two motorcycles under your Christmas tree by Christmas morning is an incredible offer that no one else can match.. Delivered anywhere in the world. Anywhere. ..by Christmas morning, guaranteed.
You: Very wealthy patron of the arts, motorcycle collector or wife of one, and charitable contributor regularly of seven figures annually. This is an opportunity to drive a lot of press for your favorite charity, easily a Today Show or Good Morning America opportunity, and get some publicity for the motorcycling industry, which has been suffering as of late..
If you donate the motorcycles to a museum or another auction, the entire price becomes a charitable donation.
Me: Trying to put two kids through ridiculously expensive colleges while raising some big money and awareness for people way needier than my kids..
One day, these twin motorcycles may go down in history as the first Ducati's for which $1 million was paid at Auction.
(Which Ferrari was the first to fetch $1 million..?)”
