^I don't know, it seems to me that you "might" be able to get $15 from selling the hubs, rear brake and the shifters on FleeceBay! ;)

Wow, nice job! This dude took a rare classic bike, got rid of the really nice bits, and with a little hard work (and a really crappy paint job) managed to make it look like a $200 fixie from Wally World.... Words just fail me.

Take a decent if over-rated bike, add an ugly & embarrassing paint job, stick on a few accessories, and we have our Optimist of the Week:

http://spokane.craigslist.org/bik/4048215902.html free bicycle parts.... (the valley) Used bicycle parts... A little bit of everything... Some good, some not so good... Frames, wheels, tires, shifters, etc... Am I going to answer a bunch of questions? No... Am I going to inventory it all for you? No... Will I lay it all out and snap a bunch of pics so you can decide? No... Will I hold anything for you? No... Am I gonna deliver to you? No... Gotta take it all... First person that shows gets it all... If it's not gone tonight, I'm taking it all to the scrapper tomorrow... Call or text Five.oh.nine-two.six.three-six.nine.five.four Jay I wonder if the above ad is the same guy? Sure sounds like it. |
I see the reversed fork a lot in ads. Do you think these customers bring them home from the store like this? Darn shame.
http://greensboro.craigslist.org/bik/4048877501.html Really light aluminum framed bike with the most comfortable seat ever. Barely 1 year old. Not ridden much. Kept inside the apartment. 7 speed twist shifters. 63mm travel suspension fork. You can ride before you buy. http://images.craigslist.org/00C0C_c...jy_600x450.jpg |

I contacted him and said that I was from our co-op and gave the link to it. He then called me saying that he would be happy to give us the stuff and could I come out the next day. I said i would see. I asked for some details on the bikes because our co-op specifically tries to reject donations of decrepit old Wally World quality bikes and he then said "I don't know, some look shiny and I'm not going to bother giving you any more details or take any pictures". He then said that he bought the foreclosure house and was just trying to get rid of the crap. I contacted him the next day saying I was trying to get someone to help me get the stuff and he then responded via text with "Okay I'm going to throw them away". At that point I just stopped all communication with him and forgot about it.

He's taking the time to post FREE stuff. A few months ago I was clearing out a rental. Posted a working refrigerator for free. I was bombarded by folks wanting details on size, age, color (a nice bright shade of FREE I told one whiny guy). Others wanted to know about delivery options. Some guy then showed up & took it no questions asked. It's free. No whining. I have a job to do and it's in my way.
And we are a business, a non-profit business that can't afford to be spending lots of money on gas going 10 miles each way and loading up a bunch of unusable junk that we will then have to take to the dump. So its not like he is taking his time to post free stuff, he is getting part of his job taken care for free by having someone come and haul away his trash that he would otherwise have to pay to have hauled away. When I talked to the guy, I didn't ask detailed questions, I just explained that we were a non-profit bike co-op that works on donations and that the only stipulation was that we try not to take in wally world class bikes because then we have to take them to the dump and pointed him to our website. It went downhill from there. |

Your costs don't concern him. They aren't his problem. If you don't like it he can "give" it to someone else.

This is the kind of advertisement you would create if you were pushed through school and graduated undeservedly:

Another BSO ad. I like this one because it says that the bike is new used once but the "breaks" need work. And the obligatory backwards fork:
