Funny Local Craigslist Ad

jtemple · 02-15-2012, 10:00 AM

I don't normally bash people's ads. What they're selling and how much their asking is their problem, not mine. But, I just had to share this one.

http://omaha.craigslist.org/mcy/2851782534.html

bike covered in snow
chain rusty
plastics broken
possible frame damage (look at the bent slider)
muffler damage on the right side (look how close it is to the swingarm, you can also see road rash on it)
rusty brake rotors
bent subframe
bike has been wrecked on both sides (see bullets above)

All of that, and the guy wants $8000. I wouldn't give $5000 for it.

Why wouldn't you pay full asking price for a bike that has had such loving care...

The guy probably knows he wont get what he's asking. Doesn't hurt to ask...

Offer him 3k and you got yourself a track bike that needs a little work. Sell the street bits for race plastics, braided lines and some other upgrades and youre set

If I was allowed (damn wife) to have a second bike, I would actually consider that.

Looks like a scam to me, one that the guy took photos that are new and used them.

I suppose if I had more free time, I'd go check it out in person and take some photos. Then we could all have a chuckle.
