I'm jealous. For reasons I can't explain to you or myself, I'd love to get one of those. My neighbor has one sitting unridden in his garage, and if it was my size, I'd be after him to sell it. It's too big for me, but it's immaculate. If it was the right price, I'd buy it just to look at it. Yours was definitely the right price.

Not the same thing. The $15 unsold one is a 1:20 scale, the other is 1:6 scale like this one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/301054003983
Big difference in both size and value!

I have exposed my parochial shortcomings. No criticism of seller or charity intended, he's got it to sell, the cause is good. It's the why of the bike itself, and of the "value." I Thought it an odd way to spend a grand, say, vs. Eric Baker buying a 1974 Masi GC in excellent condition for $750 on the same site today, but as I say that may just be my prejudices coming through.
Maybe this suits a bit better?
Vintage Panasonic Road Sport bike w/ computer (not working probably need battery)
and arm rest
Large frame solid bike fit someone around 6".
Not sure exactly how someone around 6" is going to use the arm rest in that position.

Likely a scam on a hijacked account. Seller's hasn't purchased anything in over a year and hasn't sold anything in almost 6 years. Hmmmmm.

Was that in Colorado Springs? I'm pretty sure I saw the bike but I could be wrong. Yes there have been some ridiculous deals around here lately. I am trying to stop looking at C.L. because I keep getting sad that there are so many cheap bikes and I can't get any more. I would try and buy some of the cheap bikes to play with for awhile and then flip but there is no point in trying to flip bikes when people can get decent road bikes in ride-able condition for $100.00 or less and good mountain bikes in the ball park of $50.00. I recently was trying to sell a really nice fully refurbished Univega mtn. bike (all new consumables, fresh grease, shiny paint) for $70.00, never even got 1 call about it. Guess I'll just keep it, in fact I'll be needing it today. Got what looks like 3-4 inches of snow last night at my house and I have to make it to school 10 miles away. My truck is in the shop. I guess that makes the Univega my current favorite bike!

This one has been poping up on CL for a while now. One of most expensive soso FG/SS builds I have seen in a long time. Almost $2000 for a conversion.

Yep, that was the one. Dude was in Pueblo West but advertised it in the Springs. I stalked him like a 16 year old girl till he called me back. The deals here are very good especialy for an :"off" or "uncool" brand like Giant. Sorry about the truck. Cold day to be commuting 10 miles.

[h=2]Solar Powered Ice Cream Bicycle - $2195 (Harris, MN)[/h]Start your own environmentally friendly business this summer!! This is a solar powered ice cream tricycle (possibly the only one in the USA)
I'm moving this summer, and the original plan was to bring this baby with me, but its looking like it will be to much of a headache to ship it
My loss is your gain...This is a great money making business! People love the solar panel, it draws lots of attention/crowds. The solar panel helps keep the freezer battery charging, so you could be out all day in the sun! Battery lasts about 8 hours without using the solar panel.
This has only been used for one season, there a few some scratches and dents here and there, but nothing that customers notice and nothing that affects the performance of the tricycle.
If you buy it I'd be more then happy to give some tips, and answer any questions about starting your own business with it!
Hurry this will not last long!!! You will not find another Ice Cream Bike like this one!!

This bike has been listed for a LONG time. I see it every day usually more than once. I get a chuckle over the statement of FULL EXAGE. IIRC that was one boat anchor of a crank and maybe the bottom of the line in Shimano road group. $500? Can sellers really be that far off the mark in judging market value?
