Mmmmmm, I had something similar happen to me a couple of weeks ago. A guy had listed an old Trek stationary trainer with some DVDs in the "garage sales" section----not very interesting, right? Well, in the body of the ad, he mentioned that he had an old Marinoni that he wanted to get rid of. I emailed him and, after a few back and forths, we agreed at a price of $200. I called before I was about to leave to pick it up and he didn't answer so I left a message----so I waited and waited and he never got back to me and when I checked CL again, the ad was gone.

Unfair? Yes. Understandable? .......Yes, I have to admit that it is understandable from his point of view. The thing is that the bike was my size and I would not have flipped it. Rats
