Which makes me wonder where I should post I guess, I restore and sell bikes but I almost never have more than one bike for sale at a time and always for what I consider an incredibly reasonable price which I guess is why I never have bikes sitting around waiting to be sold.

I think pretty much everyone (there's always an exception) finds it perfectly cool for the occasional restorer/seller to list a bike or two, renew the ad as needed, and call it a 'for sale by owner' type of thing. It's the 3-5+ bikes going up thrice a day that gets everybody's goat (or the shops selling the same new bikes everyone else is at the same new bike prices)...especially when the seller is sniping all the CL deals out from under the rest of us and posting immediately for several times the original price without bothering to do the truing, re-cabling, packing, cleaning and general labour to make this anything other than opportunist preying upon the time-pressed or not-so-knowledgeable. And especially if all 9 posted bikes sport non-drive side photos. Still, at least the resolution's better now....
