This has got to be the oddest Craigslist ad I've seen in quite awhile:

I wonder what a person would be pursuing on this Raleigh? It's very clean though.

The only thing I would be pursuing on that is sore shoulders, and an aching lower back, lol!,,,,BD

Magic bicycle - $500 (Northern NH)
Date: 2009-10-22, 6:46PM EDT
Reply to: sale-epvhp-1433411453@craigslist.org [Errors when replying to ads?]
Up for sale is my custom magic bicycle.
I built it myself from a Schwinn frame. Has Nitto bars and stem, really cool paint job, fixed-gear for all of you hipsters, new tires and tubes. The great thing about this bike is that it's MAGIC. Seriously, it's magic in a supernatural sense. It may have had some enchantment or spell put on it one night while it was chained up outside my house, maybe a fairy or wizard or something, not sure. The fact of the matter is it's magic and it's the only magic bike I've ever heard of, let alone ridden. If I were you, I'd seize this opportunity to own the world's first enchanted bicycle and who knows? You might end up on Oprah or something. Anyway, $500 is a mere pittance when you think about how awesome it will be to have a magic bicycle. E-mail me for pictures.

I love it when sellers tell you what the TRUE value of the bikes are.
Funny thing is... every bike I have bought was strangely worth exactly the amount I spent.
(Of course, sometimes the price went up significantly when I sold them
)

I laughed long and hard. And then I looked at his other auctions, realized he is serious and laughed long and hard. Then I did a search here, and realized everybody is laughing at this guy apparently.

$1100 Schwinn Traveler? I have two in the rafters waiting for next Spring. I had no idea they were commanding Italian prices.
https://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/bik/1436901368.html
SCHWINN, road bike, A REAL SCHWINN . Due to situations I am forced to sell this bike. This bike is in excellent condition (just out of storage) in as near new condition as a bike can be. Beside being an excellent bike to just ride, this is one of the last truly great bikes produced in the USA. Yes, this is one of the last Schwinn’s produced from the custom shop in Chicago. A few years ago this bike could have brought huge amounts of money from collectors. I know times are tough now. Will someone go $1100 ? or make me any non-silly offer? OK- make a silly offer but not too silly, Will consider trade or partial trade for firearms, high-end camera, (220V) Mig welder ????
