The rightful return of Eddy

The Rightful Return of Eddy as in Merckx

I recently put one of my Merckx's up for sale.. In the middle of the night I receive an odd email from a prospective buyer. He says that he think my bike is one he sold to me some 5 years earlier and asked about very specific marking, which the bike did have and could not be seen in photos.

He was in college at the time and needed the money, he bought the bike when he was 16 and says he always regretted selling it to me. We finally set up a time for him to come and buy it back and the sheer joy in his face was a sight to behold. Like a lost child returning home, his wife said he could not stop talking about getting his bike back for several days.

Sometimes the universe works in weird ways. What are the chances that he would be on craigslist just poking around and sees a bike he always loved from his past. Now it is back home with him to enjoy hopefully for many years to come.
