Actually that's what I surmise, he may not even put a mileage figure on it. I really would be guessing on the mileage, but I did split my riding up over that period over five bicycles, so it may be less than I think. The moralizing on this here is rather silly in my view. Do you really believe the purported mileage claims on half the old bike crap that's for sale on eBay? Oh boy.

The listing isn't even up there yet. I don't tell them what to do, that's up to them.

Everything is sales.

Someone in the 41 just said, "I'm only 180 [pounds]..."

:bongo:

Granted, I'm more than 180, but still...

We know.

Your preposterous notion that this is a potential moral crisis is why the 41 is the right place for you.

There is a large percentage of the world who thinks all the crap that moves in the economy sells itself.





It does not.

Just like business. eBay bull**** is part of the landscape there. You can't handle it, don't go there. In the big picture, it works, but there are some real aholes on the Bay. You think understating the mileage on a bike frame is some eBay carnal sin? Please. I've heard stories that would curl your friggin toes, that's NOTHING. I've had $1000-$3000 items returned for no good reason a couple of times, and as a seller you have to bend over, you have zero recourse.

so today i went to get some business cards printed. i asked around and had an idea of the price range. one guy tried to claim that aligning words is really specialist technology...uh huh. like powerpoint is rocket science because i align it fine on that.

he tried to charge me 4x what other printers asked for. i told him he was a thief and to go rip someone else off.
