The panasonic and miyata were the cleanest bike he had... just need a tune up. I actually like the panasonic... nice bright red great paint... suntour ARX. I should be still able to flip these for a $50 profit maybe a little more. I live in a college town and kids need commuter bikes under $200 like they need beer.

This guy doesn't want to put any time or effort into fixing the bikes or selling them to an end user... so I don't think he has many option or can be choosy about who he sells to. He's been selling bikes to a local used bike shop... he likes that because they take the good with the bad... but I can't imagine they are giving him more that what I offered.

I'm going to take the two bikes I got and try and sell them to the same shop and see what they offer just to test the waters. What I realy want to do is check out his parts and wheels. We will see if he call me again.
