I'd keep it, unless you really need the money for paying bills ? Don't think anyone ever gets what they put into one, unless it's a brand new, unused bike out of a business and there's profit built into it ? Rule of retail, double the costs, maybe even pad the profit margin ?

I don't believe it either. Maybe 21 pounds. It has u-brakes, so I'm guessing it's not an aluminum race frame which would still put it well over 11 pounds. Even if you put helium in the tires it's going to weigh more then that.

The wheels weigh probably 6 lbs themselves, 4 for the frame, 2 for the forks, 2 for the cranks, 3 for the bars and stem and maybe 2-3 for everything else. Doesn't add up to 11 lbs

White cable housing is -2lbs per foot.
Even with only the one brake set up that way he is -20lbs!

If he didn't confuse lbs and kg, and re was serious about this, I feel a trip to see him, with a swift kick to the teeth is in order. Also note that he's only posted one time....
