Unless I am thoroughly mistaken as to what the hour actually is, this makes no sense.
Thoughts?
Ha! Good eye. Yes, that makes no sense.
I don't know what we'd talk about on BF if these auctions weren't so ridiculous. They're so long and they're generally misleading, but it seems like, after a lot of research, people still buy them. Do they really need to claim that they have an MSRP of $800? Has anyone ever just bought anything because the MSRP was higher than the selling price?
Do they really need to put Motobecane, Mercier, and Windsor stickers on these things?
It seems like they would sell just as many, without all of the confusion, if they just sold it as a "Generic Track Bike, Good Frame, Decent Components." There are plenty of actual positive testimonials from people who ride these that they could use, rather than reviews of other bikes that they drop on the auction page.
