It still shocks me this stuff sells. I see over priced stuff mostly by the usual suspects sit for months, maybe year or more. Sometimes they disappear and come back. Maybe one goes just often enough to be patient. The problem for me as a buyer is this likely sets the market for someone more or less dumping junk once and just doing a cursory check of what stuff is going for theses days. On the rare occasion something does go for what I see as fair it's nearly impossible to scoop before the full timers. I know they have the right to make money. Just lamenting the loss of a hobby because I won't pay top dollar for a project bike. And the bikes sold by 'businesses' here look nothing like the works of art displayed on forum on occasion. Not to mention the most pervasive ones are clearly in violation of Craigslist policy, but apparently not well policed. As such latest N+1 was first new bike in 20 years.
