On the other end of the spectrum however, is this dude. I wish I could find a $10 Free Spirit this weekend, air up the tires, and double my money
. Of course they probably want it delivered, so there goes the profit vs hassle ratio, lol.

These baloon tire bikes in excellent condition around here stay unsold for months at $50-75 a pop on CL... As a matter of fact, a guy wanted to give me a free one like the blue above and I declined, because it would not fit on my bike rack...
If they are worth 4-6 times as much in Houston, sending a truck load of them down there, might be a profitable proposition
