Folks are asking what happened here... weirdest thing
Guy saw the bike from North Carolina... said Sold I'll take it.
Asked me to list on it ebay for 1/2 the price...so the 'little lady'
who monitors the bike spending wouldnt see him spending 2900
on a bicycle... paid the rest direct off ebay.

hey anyway you wanna do it to make it happen is OK by me! 🥳🤣😂🥳

Well played this guy deserves couple beers..

When I get a new bike I always say to my lady...i changed it for few parts I had in a shelve or chang e by small favors ( I'm carpenter lol)

It is a nice bike in a nice color. There are lots of old bikes around, but that higher-end supply of very good originals and high-quality restoration bikes is actually fairly small. There's a segment of the market, often with a lot of disposable income, that will only buy in that rarer category of condition. If the bike hits one of those buyers just right, it will sell quickly at a solid price for the seller.

The few higher-end bikes that were very good originals or high-quality restorations I've sold attracted a different kind of buyer than the run-of-the-mill and well-worn bikes I've sold. The higher-end ones generally sold at full asking price, to buyers who showed up, asked good questions, and paid in full. The run-of-the-mill and more worn bikes I have sold over the years often drew 3 flakes/low-ballers/etc. for every one real buyer.
