I have a fee bikes I sweated over to build and spent way too much on. No f'ing way I'd sell them complete, the loss of capital would hurt more.

It' a dick head conspiracy.
He has a lot of haters I am sure, we all wish this could happen to us, but when I read that he only made $25,000 and spent $10,000... well if f'ing worked for it selling all that stuff. I don't think there is anything wrong with it. Sure the guy selling it probably didn't realize there was a vintage cycling boom going on, but whatever, sounds like he wanted to unload it with minimal effort.
