OMG!! Best find ever!!

Rusty Spokes
 I bought these last sunday at the swap meet from a lady for $20.They're off a 1948 Panhead and a friend of hers gaved them to her to sell. Well last night, the auction for these ended at 10:00 pm, but I fell asleep didn't get to watch the biding. Well I just woke up to find out they sold for $306 My last best sale was a vintage Clicker driving coat for $1.99 at a Veterans thrift store. That sold on buy it now for $150 in less than 4 minutes and was shipped to Japan. Keep your eyes and ears open, you might get lucky!!

I usually lose money. However once I was at a livestock auction, and they were running the goats through really fast, and I thought I was bidding on this nice goat. I was thinking what a great deal. Only $5.00. However it turned out I had bought the goat that was before it. It was a little pigmy goat. I thought "what am I going to do with this thing?" However on the way home I stopped at the feed store, and a woman there fell in love with it, and wanted it. I sold it to her, for $25.00. I thought I had done pretty good 400% profit. And now I find out I could have traded it, for 66 Chevy Impala.

I like vintage bikes because they take me away from the clutter of technology that I work with everyday and back to a simpler time of mechanical elegance and simplicity.. "ninadm"

Haha, good one, Tools!

Also, great deal on the pipes, rusty! I love buying and selling things on craigslist.
In fact, I'm selling a bike I built (read: bicycle) today for $650

LOL, Tools got you there! Fee's are getting bad and sometimes craigslist works, but I think you get more for it on ebay. Last night I watched some vintage 2" brass risers go from $510 to $779 on the last 10 seconds!! THAT! Makes it worth it! Keep an eye out for those little things, sell it, and spend the RUB's money on your bike  Hey, it's for a good cause, it keeps us happy and our bikes running
