Craigslist Game, Mayday 2017: One Dollar
Get on your local Craiglist, Pinkbike, Kijiji, etc. and find your favorite listing (in the bike section!) shown as $1, or $5, or any other phony price. Share it for any reason. It could be $27,000 in the text, or a really weird build, or it could be an ad for something not even a bicycle.

This pile of parts doesn't quite add up to a Miyata 610

I did buy a new wheelset for it, because it only came with one wheel. I will give you the extra hub, rim, and spokes with the rest of the bike. The two pictures at the end show what else you will be getting with this bike.

I'm Really Bad With Numbers
Vintage BMX Cobra XC-1 Western Flyer Old School 70s 80s - $1000000 (Rock Hill, SC)
"In the beginning, there was only the converted custom bicycles to be used on a converted Motocross track. As popularity for this grew, bicycle manufacturers began designing BMX bikes just for the BMX track. And so it was, BMX (Bike Motocross) was born.
Also, much thanks to the 1971 film, On Any Sunday - with (Steve McQueen).
This old school early BMX bike is a true survivor from the late 70s to mid 80s. It is an old Western Flyer BMX Cobra XC-1 and is completely original all the way down to the tires and tubes, which by the way are still holding air. Western Auto Store sold these ready for the track. They were known for their great quality and durability, and also were reasonably priced.
This is a one-owner BMX bike. The bike has not been refurbished and is all original. I sprayed it down with the hose to get the dust and spider webs off it and that is all. She could probably use a good waxing, buffing and a minor tune-up and also tires if you are going to ride it.
Bike factory original components:
Squashed diamond racing frame AMF
Dia Compe MX brakes
Persons BMX Track Racing saddle.
Four bolt ACS pillow block stem.
Motocross handlebar and grips with padded V-bar.
ACS wheel hubs
Wheels, Crank, Handlebars, Seat pole and Brakes are all Anodized Gold
Frame, forks and chain guard are black
Wheels 20"
Not a mountain bike but is a BMX bike for BMX track racing...
Make a good fair offer FOR A QUICK SALE...
(Newspaper ad from Dec 5, 1982)
Track certified. ACS pillow block stem. Padded crossbar. Racing saddle with squashed diamond racing frame. Heat-treated rugged tubular fork. Western Flyer 20 In. BMX Cobra XC-1 Bike. On sale now $119
Call or text only if your interested in owning this bike. Please leave a message if no answer.
Due to a lot of scam and solicitation calls, be precise in your message.
Cash only, no checks or Papal will be accepted."

(In my defense, it is "spunky" AND "beefy"?!)

I'm not sure this is actually a fake price, but this ad has been up for a while, on and off, and it always amuse me. Note, this is in the bikes section, not bike parts.

Bicycle tube - brand new - $5 (Vancouver)
I have a never used, brand new tire tube for a bike. The package says 10x2 70 degree schrader valve tube. Let me know if interested.
I guess the seller forgot to mention that these things are going for $10 on eBay! I'm tempted to respond and ask if he's open to trades.
