I cant tell if this guy thinks he will actually find a buyer,or if he is just pissin in the wind with high hopes.

This things been making the rounds, not the first time it's been up for sale. Been on CL too I think.

Oh OK sorry for being redundent then.

All that and cheap stem, chain and pedals.

Gotta cut corners somewhere, I guess.

Someone did the same thing on CL here and there was ~10 posts about what an idiot the seller was.

I recently saw it listed for 1k.

lol i know the owner and i still give him a hard time about it

just click the offer button and type 100$ , that's what i do

i think he's hoping someone will use live.com and get a discount off the bin

Yeah saw this bike on my local CL, where he gives a much more reasonable price: $2200.

(that was sarcasm btw)

I don't even think that works anymore. And the most you could have got off that thing was $200.

the attitude of "since I spent ___ on this bike, I should get every penny back when i sell it!" always cracks me up. some people with vintage autos do that too. its a stubornness and an unwillingness to come to grips with reality. nobody will pay that for someone else's creation that is used.

Precisely I sold my old bike for quite a loss but I sold it to a close friend. So the joy of now having someone else to ride with outweighs the extra money I could only dream of getting. The only thing you can even come close to getting your money back on is electronics within a reasonable amount of time. Then the value tanks like the Exxon Valdez.

Electronics? Really? I would think electronics are the thing that devalues the fastest since new models are always coming out.

LOL nothing sells for the sum of all the receipts you can tally up. its not the people's fault he spent that much, so they won't pay it. PLUS its used! cut the retail price in half when selling a used item on CL or eBay.

How much would you guys actually pay for that bike he's selling?

payment sent

25 bucks

$150 but I'd make the seller throw in some [white] SPD clipless pedals because I don't do straps.

I look for 50% off the original retail cost when I'm shopping for used anything. I think that is pretty standard. Sometimes people will pay a little more, but nobody will refund a seller 100% of cost. if someone is ready to spend $2400, they could just pick their own parts and do a better job.

Exactly, and the prices the guy posted were high to begin with. For the parts he used, you can get it much cheaper.

some gold bob jackson ****... i wonder how many bucks in fees he has lost so far...

Interesting, there is the calculus of appreciation and depreciation. A 1964 VW bug in excellent shape was worth quite a bit less than list in 1965 but given the same condition would be worth quite a bit today. I wonder about these Bare Knuckles since they are discontinued. Overpriced but now finite.

well there are still a ton of them in circulation and they won't be considered rare until at least 5 years have passed since discontinuation. I would say they are worth the same now but maybe in a little bit they will go up in price.
