I sold one family over a year's time six bikes. The process started with one son, who bought a bike from me, and brought it back two days later for a refund (he changed his mind). So I gave him his money back. His mother was so impressed, that next thing I knew, I sold her one, then her husband, then another son, etc. All started with a flaky kid wanting a refund.
