I'm guessing they had to be gone by Thursday, since that's when her soon-to-be-ex husband is coming back, and she wants his bikes to be gone.

ME:What brand, size of tires, style of bike, frame size?etc etc etc. people have to know before
using the gas to get over there. Pictures would help quite a bit, if you can do it? Thanks
K:Some people aren't as high maintenance. When the price is right, people just buy the ****. Plus, it's already SOLD.... Thanks anyway.

ME:Wow, all I was asking for was basic info, and you bite my head off. Thanks.
I suppose it was ****, as you so eloquently put it.
Some people just should not sell online. They feel like they can get away with saying anything, and are
rude for no apparent reason. I doubt highly she would act that way if someone was standing in front of her.

Well, if it's a rare Motobecane, it must be worth a lot of money then...

Sounds like a shadowy deal to me, and I don't want to know how seller determined one to "ride great" without a saddle...and the other to "ride great" with a bent wheel.

I have a VINTAGE MAGNA bike in perfect condition. Straight handle bars with a little carry case attached. Blue and white in color. Comfortable seat and rides like a dream. Great for woman 5'4 or so. Asking $75.00 or best offer. Sorry no pics to share but you can call to make an appointment to see it today.

Or maybe it means it is rare. Chain gaurds, of course, are made out of rare diamonds found hundreds of meters below the surface of the Amazon, to which only ultra-intelligent chimpanzees can access with multi-million dollar nuclear powered mining machines.

If you're going to give them proper trademark citation, at least spell the brand name correctly:
