No need to start a new thread, but this is really comical. On Ebay, you have the EARLY bidders, and in my old opinion, they don't know JACK...

Here is an example..

They have a Rad Cycle Pro Mechanic Bicycle Repair Stand, which SELLS FOR NEW on Amazon for $39.00 plus FREE SHIPPING. On Ebay they have a USED one and the bidding was something like $5.00 with $11.17 for shipping. The EARLY BIDDERS push the bid up to $34.00 with $11.17 for shipping making the total price for the stand $44.17. And this stand is USED! WHEREAS, I can buy the same stand for $39.00 BRAND NEW, with free shipping!!

It seems like people do not check to see what an item sells for new to have some source of info on how much the item should be worth used. I am not smart by a long shot either, but in my opinon this is just PLAIN COMMON SENSE..

Oh well, I laugh at it. I would have paid $25 total for the USED stand..

I was planning a trip to Philly so I checked out what was on CL there. Some guy had two 2004 Dahon Speeds for only $100 each OBO. Of course they were sold by the time I contacted him. Someone got an excellent buy.

What a deal. Too bad I'm on wrong side of the country & I will only buy off CL if it's face to face.

I had a better deal, just sold my Pocket Llama for $700. I had about 10 craigslist flakers, so I got sick of it and sold it to the first person to see with an offer.

They were purchased new as a matched set in England, I didn't have the heart to split them up ... the original owner was apologetic because the tires were flat and I wouldn't be able to test ride .. taking a page from the SesameC school of procurement, I of course ground her mercilessly because of it.. :ride:

Dynocoaster 10-21-10 05:39 PM

Will you be showing us some pics of both?

vmaniqui 10-21-10 05:56 PM

So you're the reason why he didn't reply to my emails...you lucky dog.. Time to show them now.
