To the uninformed Fat fans, the Buckshaver still stands for the "low-end" Fat model that was sold with more "inexpensive" components. Regardless of the fact that the frame is still an awesome item, people will look down on the Buck for no good reason. Maybe the name itself has somethinig to do with it.
It's an oddity. I have owned a Yo Eddy and a Wicked Lite, and I enjoy the Wicked more. It's a nicer ride, in my opinion, but given the choice between a NOS Eddy and a NOS Wicked sitting next to each other, I'd probably grab the Yo. I know, it's silly, but that frame is iconic.
MojoTroll, I know you don't want to hear it, but the sum of the parts is greater than the whole. To most collectors or enthusiasts interested in bikes like this, the components are almost throwaways. I first look at the total sum of the value of the parts on it, and if they subtract from the total price of the bike, to equal a reasonable amount for the frame and fork, I consider it a good deal. I think many would consider this a frame purchase, and the rest of the parts "flippable" to the second-hand market. Buyers for this bike are going to want this to be more personalize to their tastes, using components of thier choice. That's just my opinion, though.
I do think there may be a few factors in the sale problems. One: large, clear and detailed photos will ALWAYS help in selling high-dollar items on the web. You might have been hurt by the lack of detailed close-ups. Two: I think there might have been a few scared off by the Team Fat Chance "Yo Eddy" decals on a BuckShaver. I think resprays and customizations that deviate from the factory norm (even if it was factory), might push a few serious buyers away.
Should you decide to part it out, and sell things individually, consider me interested in the frame on its own. If it falls into my price range, I'm looking to build up a daily rider that I won't be freaked out to get dirty and wet.
