Hilarious Craislist Ad
Just saw this on Craigslist.
A Windsor "The Hour" bike for $900. You can buy it brand new for $300. I like to call it anti-depreciation. I bet his trucker hat and skinny jeans are cutting off blood supply to the brain.

He says "lots of extras" 
What if he has a HED 3 on the rear and a Aerospoke in the front?
You never know, but I'll be offering him $50 (:

why do people do this even though buyers are smarter than this? i've been looking around for a kilo tt and ive seen some "just barely ridden" on CL and they price it $400 stock bc they had to "put it together." ****ing stupid.

aka mattio
By "anti-depreciation," do you by any chance mean appreciation?

I like how he wants everyone to leave him a "detailed message" yet he couldn't offer the least bit of detail on all the "extras" that warrant the $900 price tag. Oh and the $820 drop to his lowest counter offer. I love logic!!

1. Meet the thief.
2. Inform him that we practice a two-eyes-for-an-eye style of justice 'round these parts.
3. Break both of his hands and remove at least one kneecap.
4. Get the bike.
5. Let's assume it's a BD bike, so:
5.1. Get the serial number.
5.2. Contact BD and see if they can track down the original buyer.
5.3. Contact original buyer and return the bike.

I'm actually just a college student who was bored when I sent that email. If anyone lives in Norman (I don't even know where that is), $75 is all it takes to get this bike.

The morally correct course of action:
1. Meet the thief.
2. Inform him that we practice a two-eyes-for-an-eye style of justice 'round these parts.
3. Break both of his hands and remove at least one kneecap.
4. Get the bike.
5. Let's assume it's a BD bike, so:
5.1. Get the serial number.
5.2. Contact BD and see if they can track down the original buyer.
5.3. Contact original buyer and return the bike.
