In this world wide market place and for parts that are relatively scarce as a lot of Triumph parts are, calling 'dibs' does not mean a thing.
By posting the auction details to an active forum such as this, you are only drawing more attention to it and can only expect more people to possibly bid on the item.
If someone sees something on ebay and they want it bad enough, they are not going to give a rats rectum that you want it too.
Who's to say that a number of people from this forum had not already had the item in their 'watch list'.
Do you REALLY think that they would care that you 'called dibs'?
I wouldn't.
