Thanks for all the replies.
People who are selling their bicycles are trying to maximize profit, so they act like they don't know the year when it's an older bicycle, act like they don't know what speed it is when it's something that is obsolete or undesirable, etc. They then proceed to tell you how much the wheels are going for on a "buy it now" on Ebay. LOL. I'm definitely not paying what he wants for the bicycle after my research and all of your replies. He said he would have to check what speed the bicycle was with "the person he is selling it for." Then, he calls me and talks about how he has been selling bicycles for 20 years and is quite knowledgeable about bicycles. He is full of it.
Also, I have searched all the keywords in the Kansas City area on CL. Seems like anyone with a decent bike wants way too much. I will have to look outside my area, I suppose. I will also check the marketplace here.
