Thanks for reminding me why I look at it every day but never buy anything!

I recently saw a rusty old Peugeot with cottered crank, rusty steel rims for $350 !! LOL LOL
There are a lot of "deals" out there. Most of them, however, seem to be on the other side of the fence... or or otherwise too far away to make it worth tracking down.
The best deals only last for a few hours, if not just a few minutes.
There are, of course, those individuals who repost the same items over and over again, not realizing that their prices are somewhere in dreamland.
For high quality C&V... Maybe one must go to the larger cities, then it depends on whether sellers are selling "old bikes" vs "collectors items".
