Another good CL day:
Had gotten one call yesterday on the Schwinn, said he was interested in coming out Saturday to see it. Terrific. He calls this morning, is out by 1300, with his college age son. Junior's the one looking for the bike, and they were spending the morning going down the CL ads they'd found. I was the fifth stop of the day. And the last one. Comment as he came back up the hill from the test ride, "This bike's feels a lot more solid than any of the other four." Paid the asking price of $125.00, no questions (didn't hurt that stop #4 was asking $140 for a Murray, #3 was a Raleigh that looked a lot better in the picture). Turned the kid on to Richmond Re-Cycle for spares, accessories, etc.
It's a nice warm feeling when a sale goes well.
