Another craigslist success story: We bought our Burley Duet in wonderful condition and only a couple years old for $1100. It was a local purchase so could do a thorough inspection and test ride and no shipping issues. Just doesn't get any better. (I've bought 2 other bikes on craigslist [had to drive about 500 miles for one, but well worth it] and have never had a bad experience. But, still, I'd never buy sight unseen from anyone, no matter what they say or how honest they seem. Someone might truly not know the condition and there are thieves and frauds out there too.) Just search "tandem" every day on the bikes list for every city you'd be willing to drive to and be patient. And, speaking of thieves, please don't buy a bike that doesn't have original purchase receipts or other documentation that the seller is the legitimate owner, or at least a pretty solid indication that the seller knows the bike from owning it.
