I love this guy! Mallard goes quack, and watch that scratchage from the kickstand.
If only he poured out some of his 40 for homeboy Billy May at the end of the vid.....

Well the video hung just after he spun the crank backwards so no chance to see the duck hubs! I wouldn't buy a bike, even an 'original French bike made in France' from a bike shop that can't fit a nut on the cotter pin or pump up the rear tyre - maybe because the original pump is missing! Great video, thanks for posting.

I asked my wife why she put fake feces on her hair. She said she doesn't; she uses shampoo. I said, exactly.

LOL I've seen some of this guy's other videos and they're almost always amusing. Too bad he wasted his time trying to sell some Peugeot Mixte that you can get all over the place for $10.

Everybody has a different idea as to how to get whatever done. That video was a waste of my time and I did not even get half way through it. Not sure who said it, but the fellow sounds like a used car salesman, no disrespect intended to anyone.

Agreed that if he runs a bikes shop, he cannot spend 15 minutes finding a nut for the cotter pin and pumping up the tires ? Any bike that I sell gets the 100% check up, stem to stern. And I especially make sure that frame and fork are not only clean, but nice and shiny. Any no missing parts.

*LOL* This Guy reminds me of some of the characters I have met at Fleamarkets and
bike swaps...
Seems that EVERYONE is a damn bicycle genius these days ...

In fairness to the dude selling the bike, his starting price is not that bad for an ebay bike. After shipping, figure the new owner will only pay about $120 for a bike that's worth about $30-$40. Still, it's not like he's trying to pass it off as some $300 or $400 bike like we've seen in other ads. Looks like this may be the wave of the future.

I thought the video was hilarious, and pretty creative. Would I buy I bike from the guy - no way (I agree that the bike should be complete, *with* air in the tires and cotter pins fixed), but the secret in selling something is to stand out from the crowd and he does it in spades.....
And the auction starts at $50 - not outrageous for a 100% (make that 99.8%) original MIX-TEE Peugeot....

Gag! I didn't make it to the thirty second point. I've got better things to do on a Sunday morning - like work on my woods trail expansion.
