I'm betting the "Reserve Price" for this is $12K. What's your guess?
It really does look like someone kept this in their living room and polished it every day for the last 50 years! It really is too bad about the fuzzy photos. If you want to sell something for big bucks, you need to spend a little time and effort taking good photos. Some people take lousy photos on purpose - to try and hide faults. This bike is a real beauty, and deserves some really good photos.
The buddy seat appears to the the correct one for a 1960-1962 - but it's hard to see the pattern on the cover in the blurry photos - could be a 63-64. The metal band with rivets holding the cover to the frame was used through 1964. Most of the buddy seats you see out there are 1965-later with the replaceable cover.

He takes a hundreds of pictures, of which the agent selects a few key ones to tell the story and get interest to set up a visit. They say too many pictures is a mistake too, you want to get people to visit, not entertain them.
