+1 I think the people that are excited about this ARE the craigslist nannies that get all mad about stuff. I can scan CL really quickly for deals, I don't even notice the random BS on there nor does it matter to me. I don't know why it matters if some flipper is trying to sell his same overpriced bikes for 3 years lol.

True, but the flip side to that is: now it doesn't take an eagle eye to spot a decent bike. Here's one of the tiny crummy photos that helped me score a Paramount recently:

I'm diggin' the taxidermized German Shepard handlebar bag. Very stylish, but I'm not sure about the practicality.
