The guy claims he's selling a 1977 Masi Confente. There are NO pictures, almost no details, a couple of line drawings of the head tube and head tube badge, and if you write asking about details you basically get a snotty, "how dare you?" attitude.
Interesting how he states "Paymant due after buyer inspects item." Spelling aside, it would be easier on both buyer and seller if he just posted some photos.
As for my Numbskull Of The Day? Read the following:
A C-List seller responded to a vintage lightweight wanted ad of mine - says he has an Eddy Merekx for $550 in fair condition. I inquiried further into what he means by "Fair" condition. He responded and said it could use a repaint, and new gear/brake cables.
You've got to be kidding me. He probably got a value quote from that overcharging LBS of mine that I mentioned a few posts back. I remember they valued a Schwinn Varsity at $250 once. Go figure.
Take care,
