A lot of really cool stuff gets posted in the regular eBay/Craigslist/marketplace find thread.

At that price perhaps it should be posted in the Wacky add thread.

Just like Schwinn (and Schwann, Schinn, Schwing, Swing, etc.), there are also many ways to spell Trek.

It took your post for me to get it. I thought the seller thought they had an all-purpose racing machine - you know, race it on the track, race it on the road. So the ad is, in fact, a head scratcher, just not the kind of head scratcher I thought it was.

I wonder if the ads are sometimes dictated rather than typed. Is that possible for Facebook, Craigslist, etc.?
