I think that I have never in my life seen a deal on eBay that was too good to be true, yet was true. I've seen items that got bid way under their value many times, but that's not exactly the kind of "deal" you're talking about since the seller has no control over it.
eBay is almost the perfect free market. Items sell for what the market will bear.
In any event, I'd rather miss out on a good deal than get hosed out of $1000...
edit: also, let's consider what "average" in the online world means... Everything is rated as twice as good as it actually is. Average probably means the downtube is in two pieces.

Clapped out sundays are selling for super cheap. I saw a complete black team from 06 or 07 selling for 1300 in NJ...but that doesn't mean it's a good bike. If he's not replying to your emails, why are you considering bidding? No contact=no buy.
heres the ad:

Guy claimed in my only email form him hes selling out all whats left from his ex bike shop. After that I asked him why hes a ebay member from last 8 year and only 13 comments and he keep silenced since then.
For me is a bargain not only because of price but because its L size with new linkage and those babies are hard to get ...extremly hard

If you can see it/pick it up in person, go ahead and buy it. If not, I'd wait until he responds. Ebay is usually pretty good about scams, but it's always a gamble that you may be without cash for 3 months.
Those look like and could be old rental bikes from diablo. I say that because I bought one in 07 and I know they had those teams on mtbr some time back for around that price range. I do remember the guy I dealt with was named Jamie and since the ebay ID is jamiep73 it may be the same guy. Check it out but every end of the season(if its the same guy)he has had Sundays for around that depending on how clapped out they were.
I'm gonna second this. Jamie used to be the head mechanic at Diablo. Based on my experiences with him, and the experiences of many of my friends and former co-workers, Jamie is a trustworthy guy.
That being said, those definitely look like old Diablo rental bikes (based on the build they have, and the overall condition). They even have the rental # stickers on them. The price is good, but those rental bikes got pretty clapped out from all the use they saw. If it is indeed an old Diablo rental, I would pass.
Here's all you need to know...
have u guys got any contact to this Jamie? email or sth?
To original post...
Looks like a valid listing. 7 day money-back return. I don't know about the overall look of the bike though. The brake levers look odd and everything looks banged up. I'm thinking he took it for a spill. If you really want, I will go check it out for you?

No you're not. Do not get that stuck into your head. Paypal is there to make money and nothing else.
.
that's wrong...i sold something on ebay and sent it out. well, it got lost in shipping for 3 days, and the idiot that bought the item took out a case against me which is incredibly easy to do btw. Well, paypal froze the money in my account and it took 2 weeks to get back. they will just automatically take the money from your bank account if that happens. you really are amazingly protected with paypal.
There was also one black man in the SS... Single cases proove nothing.
Acutally as a buyer paypals protections (as long as you do what they say in the disclaimers) are amazing at protecting the buyer. They will freeze the sellers **** quicker than a heartbeat. Ive seen it happen to people a million times when someone isnt happy with the speed at which a seller operates. Luckily, Fedex is your friend. Overnight **** next day and as a seller no worries.

That sounds a little sketch off the bat.
I would keep looking if I were you.

I agree 100%.
No that dent is very common on the Sunday not to worry about.
