2) schwinn varsities that are "rare" and worth $250.
3) the rusted up cruiser thats worth $500-$1000
4) and the SS conversion that is worth $400, even though it still has a 6 speed freewheel and a double crank still on it

So the the past few weeks or so, I've taken it upon myself to set up an alternate email account and respond to some of these gems.

I'm by no means offensive to them, but many of the sellers do not respond with calm temperament when I politely correct them on the value of their bike. And several emails begin to shoot back and forth of pure trolling on my account which makes them even more mad.

Anyone else respond to some of these ridiculous ads that attempt to swindle the unknowing?
