Huh? We're talking about a bike?

An interesting point. The seller has kept it in better than reasonable condition in appears, not a small feat for a Huffy. Maybe his BIN price to to retaliate for all the thrashing he got as a kid from the neighborhood for having his parents buy such a beast. Probably did not ride it as other kids possessing the cruel traits of children as seen in Lord of the Flies, would knock him off it just for fun.

Mike Melton, worked on the real Huffy "funny bikes" I think, I wonder if he ever saw this grand gesture of marketing.

Marketing is right. Ask Nascar Stock racing about it. "Win on Sunday sell on Monday" Never mind that that car on Sunday didn't have any parts on it that were like the car sold on Monday since the early 60's.

Bikes: 1986 Alan Record Carbonio, 1985 Vitus Plus Carbone 7, 1984 Peugeot PSV, 1972 Line Seeker, 1986(est.) Medici Aerodynamic (Project), 1985(est.) Peugeot PY10FC

Heck, maybe he enjoyed riding that bike a lot as a kid and that counts a lot.....if he was really the "kid" that owned it. I guess we can give him the benefit of the doubt, but asking for $3500 is hard to forgive....
Otherwise, the rear dropout, seat and chain stay detailing is "priceless"! Yeeeah, squash them pipes right there Jimbo!
Love the built-in reflector on the awesome "carbon"(?) disc wheel too! Must be some sort of laser triggered oleympic track timing doohickey thingy thing that there!....yeahhh!

I would make an offer but it would move the decimal two places left and still involve the seller paying shipping.

$3500 is definitely a joke. the use of "unicorn" in the post should have set off your sarcasm meters.
