Auction Watch Roundup

Auction Watch is a list of auctions and other for sale lists of bikes that would be considered for addition to the Fuji Otaku collection were funds and spousal patience unlimited. These are not bikes I'm selling or have sold unless so noted. Likewise, it is not simply an indiscriminate listing of current Fujis by other sellers - to make the list, a sales listing will usually meet one or several of the following conditions:

• From the era when Fujis were made in Japan
  
• Mostly original component configuration
• Good cosmetic shape
• A well done sales listing - good pictures, detail description, fair opening price. Hidden reserves are frowned upon.
  
• Rare or highly desirable model
• A model for which price data is sought
• Good prospect for a renovator or the budget conscious
  

These are not hard and fast rules, but will usually be the guidelines. This will also serve as a running reference for those who ask "what is my bike worth", as the results of the auctions will be posted here as time allows.
