I don't know if this really qualifies as "wacky". Starting bid is $1850, BIN is $2500. I understand the BMX crowd is getting crazy money for some stuff. They all look like Wal-Mart bikes to me though:

You never know - that GT may find a happy owner someplace over in Japan. I tend to think that the bike will be discounted significantly by then. Reality tends to set in after a few months with no interest.

Don't look for how much your old skateboards are worth, unless you still have them!

With the thickness of the powedercoat paint, you will likely never know what kind of frame it is.

[h=2]A Trek frame painted up as a Colnago. They are not trying to pass it off as one, but its still odd. Perhaps someone who knows Spanish could translate the text of the ad...

The table command to mexico to paint and found the original estiker and put those colnago, if you have questions call me at # 214 xxx-xxxx has your best speak English thanks"

"Steel frame, aluminum fork in good condition includes the carbon seatpost, 10 speed Tiagra front Derailleur, headset, stem, and water bottle cage. The frame was sent to Mexico for painting and they couldn't find the original stickers and they put on Colnago ones. If you have questions call me at 214-xxx-xxxx with your best offer. I speak english. Thanks."
I'm sure I missed some of the subtleties of the language but most of the meaning is there.

"Estiker" was easy. I love Spanglish!
But "orkilla" had me scratching my head for a while. It took a couple visits to Spanish bike sites before I got it. You're right: I was laughing when I finally figured it out!
