Wonder how long it would take the mother in law to get pissed off with boxing up and sending old bikes ?

More likely delusional - no way is a near bottom-end Peugeot worth anywhere near that much.singlespeedscott wrote:"Tell him he's dreaming"

thats why im still (relatively) happy to be a bottom feeder, with a love of bikes, but not a fecking idea of margins and high(er) end worth or appreciation. Ignorance is often blissmunga wrote:seller could drop the price $200 a week for 3 weeks and someone will think they've snared a bargain. win/win.

The seller could drop the price by $200 a week for FIVE weeks and it still wouldn't be a bargain. IMHO it worth $150 but that's only if the seller gives it a really good clean.munga wrote:seller could drop the price $200 a week for 3 weeks and someone will think they've snared a bargain. win/win.

But it's "fully loaded"! Maybe the panniers are stuffed with cash / stolen jewelry / drugs / something else valuableHamster wrote:The seller could drop the price by $200 a week for FIVE weeks and it still wouldn't be a bargain.

Have noticed US fleabay has very few bikes under 'road bikes'. Unlike here, there was not anything much sub 200 dollars, and then not too many anyway. I've suggested to him that maybe craiglist is the place to go.
Anyone got thoughts on this. Anyone know of traders who have cheaper-but-not-crap, over there?
He's in small town southern Illinois, so would have to be a shipper.

[url= (the url) ] then you put your other description here, and finish with the [ /url] bit - try quoting one from an earlier thread to see how it goes together.Sd wrote:
