My wife scored for me big time once. She was at some friends house and looked across the street at a yard sale. She saw a bike with drop bars and gears, went over and the guy wanted $10. She said my husband will be over in 10 minutes to buy it. I went with low expectations but it was a mid level Japanese frame with good components. Nice guy too since he held it for me and didn't ask if he was charging too little. It was a $200 bike.
