Matchbox and hotwheels cars with factory mistakes are worth more.
Coins with stamp mishaps are worth more.
Stamps with printing errors are worth more.
Bikes with a misapplied decal? I doubt it.

You may wonder what I was smoking when I posted this... but I'd wonder what the guys at Trek were smoking when they put this bike together.

stole your bike
So someone should be willing to pay what the bike was worth 3 years ago despite it having 2K miles on it and a decal mistake?

Agreed, it's a bike, not a coin.

Maybe he's trying to go after 'collector lust' to milk more money out of a sucker.

Could be genuine, too. My dad had a'68 Olds on which the letters on the fender spelled out ODDSMOBILE, and i've seen a pickup where the grill said FROD. The truck may have been faked, but my Dad bought the Olds new.
