I saw that, and what attracted me was his assertion that it was a 1980 Paramount. Schwinn stopped building the Paramount in '79, and resumed in '81 after moving Paramount manufacturing from Chicago to Waterford, so there were no 1980 Paramounts. The photos are so tiny you can't see any details. I figured the seller was either very unknowlegeable or perhaps even dishonest. The zero feedback doesn't instill confidence.

The fact that he corrected the listing to say it's a Bob Jackson instead of a Paramount makes me think he's just unknowlegeable rather than dishonest, and the small photos just mean he doesn't have much eBay and/or computer experience.
