Sprocket??? What sprocket??? I guess 11-speed SR cassettes are like pedals- don't come with the bike.

Flipping a Magna
I saw this gem at the Goodwill last week for $10. This week it's on Craigslist for $100! The seller is so anxious to flip it, he photographed it right after he cleaned it up with a hose.

Most of his inventory has been sitting on Craigslist for months

It's 3 better than an MB3. How did they come up with MB3?
I flipped one of those. It was a nice daily rider. For the right price someone will be happy.

It's funny how kids get tired of their bikes when the tires go flat.

RARE Vintage Rennrad Colnago Mexico Oro 24K Gold Edition Columbus Racing Bike | eBay
would you spend that much money on this bike and put midrange shimano on it?
something looks off about this bike, decals don't look right weight, and the fact that he's running sora shifters is kinda a joke.

There's a Colnago hanging on the wall at West End bike shop, that looks like a real vintage version of that bike? Bronze and gold looking paint with a fade job, and drilled Campy bits all over it. All the Campy has an orangey gold finish on it. pretty bike, but doubtful if it came that way?,,,,BD

Yeah, look at where it's flaking off the brake tracks- it looks like some ham-fist just spray-bombed the whole thing with gold paint, even the spokes and nipples. The funny thing is that some boobs bid it up over $1000 already!

The seller is "rome-slat" with zero feedback. The most frequent bidder is "r****t", also with zero feedback. eBay didn't seem to have a category for misrepresentation of the item. Presumably, if they investigate, they will also check for shill bidding.
(I notified eBay.)

I thought they did away with the ability to self bid from the same account. Or are you just saying that's likely because they both have zero feedback?

I really hope whoever that high bidder is doesn't have to follow through on the purchase of that POS bike.

shills set up multiple accounts and pose as different people to try to beat the system. If patterns like this are recognized, eBay can take actions like deactiving as many of the fraudster's accounts as they can find.

The back of the seat tube is gold and from the side it looks like gold overspray. FD is "gold" and RD is not and how do you plate aluminum alloy? Pedals look like some $15 rat traps from ebay.
