Its a shame people dont know better when buying or they wouldnt consider 90% of what those guys sell abd at the absurd prices they list specific bikes for.
I wad just talkingwoth a buddy yesterday about 24" front wheel frames. Funny timing.

"Also includes original Raliegh Olympic team travel bag with Mike Meltons buisness card."
I think I'd spell "Raleigh" correctly. I think I'd spell "business" correctly. I think I'd put an apostrophe after the "s" in "Meltons".
Not trying to be the grammar police, but too much misspelling never gives me confidence in a seller's product.

I agree with the sentiment in general, though. The ad is the presentation of the product and it matters to me. Such spelling probably would not keep me from buying an item I really wanted, but it bugs me.

Hey,
I have a pristine, complete, original and ready to ride 1988 Nishiki Linear that I'll let go for 1/2 his price and include shipping to lower 48.
Sorry no pix at this time.

Funny this was posted. I was cruising the local CL this past weekend because I was bored (snowing and windy... spring in Iowa!) and this thing pops up. At least this one isn't quite as ugly. Still plenty "funny" though. At least it is in pretty good shape and a person could ride this one.
