It's sorta nice to see someone else's thread go bad, really... Perhaps someone can find something in my post to either a: mock, or b: hate on, or c: misunderstand completely. That would take the pressure off Khatfull and Robatsu.

I've had that question too from buyers on CL, and actually, I do think it's an odd thing to ask, as I'm often selling something because I didn't like it. That doesn't mean it's bad, per se, or that someone else won't like it. In that case, honesty wouldn't be the best policy. "I'm selling this because I found it very awkward to ride and it hurts my wrists," or "I know more about bikes now, and I think this one is an ugly POC. "

I usually say something like "It didn't fit me," or "I bought a more expensive version because I liked this one so much," or something equally idiotic. I really find that question hard to answer sometimes.
