I once picked up a Univega Viva sport for $40.00. Re-wrapped the bars, hosed it off, sold it for $175.00 in two days.

Who here wouldn't take an easy $135.00? I'm not in the position to buy up cheap bikes and bestow them on the less-fortunate out of the benevolence of my heart. The Fuji hybrid that I put $120.00 in and sold for $95.00 got me no sympathy. The lesson was mine alone to learn.
