I really think it's the faux sales thing that is putting people off.

Looks like the same bike with half the paint removed, the front derailer completely borked from the correct position it was in before, and some kind of haze over the previously OK rear chrome.
I'll give you $3.50 for it.

As if we haven't been dealing with trolls and kooks on CL for years, decades, even

I can be whatever you want me to be
I find it amusing that you are wasting your time on someone so below you. We all start somewhere. I'm no threat to your operation . Competition is healthy.
pick this one apart if you want

There's nothing healthy about frustrating others for self amusement, which you finally admitted to. Perhaps you should see a professional about that.

Really didn't expect to be a target of such animosity, but hell if that's the way senior members act I'll take it as some form of initiation. On the whole most of the interactions I've had with other members have been very helpful and positive. Sticks and stones

this has got sickening. What was originally posted for a laugh.
that's the noise you make in the back of your throat when something tickles you,
has become some sort of monster.
my bikes, my options, if I wanted to test the S.F. market in the grips of Cvd19. Well that's my prerogative..
My mistake posting what I I thought was a funny response to my add.
Of course I have to remember my sense of humor is extremely English and so I should have prefaced with a "Ha ,Ha"
the whole troll thing seems pretty much arbitrary on who wants to point the finger
