I asked him about it, he made some valid points, feels if an entry level bike with similar components sells for $1500, this may bring $800, and if not, he's gonna ride it himself. I like his attitude.

"so what! and some idiot will pay too.
He thinks his potential buyers are idiots. That's a fresh approach to flipping bikes if I ever heard one.

Not sure what to think about this one. But if he's putting a little kid in the kiddie seat on the shopping cart/sidecar, that just seems pretty out there.

Otherwise, presumably, the fork might bend more from the stress?

You gonna eat that?
This is why you should lock up your bike when you go in "just for a minute."

I bet it's already a flat black fixie with pink deep V's and shorty bars, and back on CL for $850.

There was a CL ad for a trike the other day for $350 or so. I emailed them for pictures and it was "already sold". I couldn't help but wonder if that was it. Normal adult trikes don't sell for that much used.

That listing is more good salesmanship than knuckleheadedness or dishonesty.
I buy a few things per year on Ebay. Rarely are they any sort of true bargain beyond the simple fact that they are used.
I've also sold several things on Ebay, and gotten more than I expected. Like $800 for an out of date "itanium" computer. Woo hoo!

Neither do I, but when it says such a specific time as 1:35 pm, it kind of seems like he was only away from the bike for a short time.
And in a similar vein, I feel for this guy. That looks like a beauty.

On a side note:
Don't you wish you'd see a Numbskull selling a "Schwinn Bike" for $100, and it turns out to be a Paramount?
I've been waiting for that post for 1 year now.
Or $200.
Or $300.
Or $400.
Or $500.
All I want is the frameset...
GAHHH!

You can have the frame for $300, the wheelset for $300, or both for the bargain price of $900...

Deep V Reflective rims laced to iro red hubs.. Limited run special deep v's that reflect with light similar to 3m can also be sold seperatly
looking for 300 for the frame and about 300 for the wheels... will do the whole bike for 900,

I just spoke w/ her and referred her to this site/Vin Val Inqu.... She seemed like a harmless old lady who had been taken for a ride by some Jerk who claimed to be a bike mechanic...Exage group w/ 1 Tiagra replacement..
I don't think that she meant any harm, but it sounds like so many others... trying to supplement their income....
