Bikes: one of each

Yeah, it feels good. I just sold a 54 raleigh sport to a fella for $160. I had ten hours into it and I traded another really cool raliegh for it so I should have just stayed at work and put in some overtime. But I gave him a tour of my basement and sold him another raliegh (gran sport) for $20. doubled my money and hadn't even touched it yet, and a plescher rack for $10.
He was happy as a clam, I was pretty pleased and we spent a little time talking bikes. That's fun.
I'm keeping a running tally. since I got into this for the reallies, I've spent over $800 but I've recouped about $500 and I've got about 35 bikes in the basement. When I consider that there are at least half a dozen that I'd give fifty bucks for, I'd say I'm doing alright.
And I've made a few friends.
