I suppose there were a lot of Huffy and Schwinn bikes sold, so perhaps they'll hit some of the nostalgia market. However, those people who are interested in spending $3000 on a bicycle probably aren't the same ones that are interested in riding a Huffy. |

Holy Bridgestone Tax! (or should I say Bridgstone?) $300 for a super low end model and it still needs new rubber. Have I mentioned how much I hate Minneapolis Craigslist in the winter?
bridgstone by Japan - $300 (west saint paul, MN) bridgstone by Japan http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=430785http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=430786 Hi I have for sale a bridgstone by japan bike in very good condition. Bike is 25/30 years old a classic needs tires and tubes has rear brakes on lower part of frame asking $300.00. Thanks for looking frame is 17 in and 27 in from seat post to floor |
Ha, I comb thru the MPL CL a couple times a week and am amazed at the asking price for many listings- both newer and classic.

Here's quite the description, and not a bad bike for the price, really. Not sure that it is the babe-magnet it is portrayed to be, tho.
"I wish that one of the categories on craigslist was "lifestyle" because I'm not just selling a bike, I'm selling confidence and swagger; and it comes with green cable housings and a loud-ass brass bell. When you roll up on this Ross Eurosport remember to ring the bell twice-- there will be a Philly Special ready for you before before you even finish getting the u-lock out from your belt. Even if you just rode to church. Up for sale is my beloved Ross Eurosport road bike. My dad rode this thing when he was a kid. He once told me that the orange reflector on the back of the seat was one of the main reasons my mom married him. When I was born he knew he wanted to pass down his legacy to me so he kept this thing in pristine shape until he felt that I was ready to start having sex. I turned it into a single speed a few years back to cut some weight and recently re-did the brakes and brake cables with the signature green Jagwire housings you see in the photos. I also re-packed the crank bearings, replaced the rear axle, and re-packed the axle bearings when I did the brakes. This thing was built as tough as a Mack truck in Allentown, PA and is 100% ready to ride-- no grinding gears, no bald tires, no busted brakes that you see on some of the Schwinns floating around the city for sale. I've been using it as my main mode of transportation (to yoga) for a few years and have kept it in tip-top shape. It's rare that it gets ridden in the rain and it has always been stored indoors. If I can give you one piece of advice to enhance your life it would be to buy this bike. Then go buy a breast milk pump, chocolate syrup, a super soaker, and goggles because things are about to get a little weird. This thing is competitively priced so don't be "that guy" that tries to haggle $10 off of a $75 bike. It's not a good look.."

Cute story about the Ross...
Might have been a head-turner a few decades ago. Looks a bit worn today. How about this one: Two bikes, in pieces. Make them whole again. http://images.craigslist.org/00g0g_b...g0_600x450.jpg If this isn't a metaphor, I don't know what is. My ex decided to take up bike repair. He started on a low-end spare my dad had (Magna). Then became overly confident and tore apart my retro Raleigh beach cruiser with the intent of spiffing up the paint job. What you see in the photos is pretty much how the repairs, and the relationship, ended. |

For the record, I do not trust ANY of my friends to ride that thing with me, mostly because of the amount a beer that go into getting everybody to stick their heads in this thing. |

Well, in the early 1970s, Schwinns used to sell for a few hundred more than Huffys, so the relationship may still hold.

The Paramount looks like an almost decent bike... for a Schwinn.

Those bobbed fenders are especially designed to dump dirt and grit onto the brakes.
I have never understood how folks can ride with the saddle pointing down like that.

Yes, these were to fix my bicycle computer. Actually, I think some sellers put a preposterous price on their items to park a web page. If you click on the "Items Sold", and it gives a list, of all the batteries sold for $1.45 (exactly $5000 less than the current list). |

The "new tires" are worth more than the rest of the bike. Unless the generator is collectable. |

But if the BIN price is set high (and there's no "Make an Offer"), how can a potential buyer buy it for a realistic price? Did the previous buyers buy it at $1.45, and then the seller changed the price? Maybe it's a way to indicate he only has one left?
Even stranger for the guy with the batteries, eBay actually lists some "sales" at those exorbitant prices: beachs_best_batterys | eBay They must be shill sales, but for the life of me I could find no way to report that. All the eBay pages did was lead me in circles, always coming back to the "what we will investigate" page. Oh well, eBay... |
