One of the LBSes makes the mistake (it's a mistake in our market) of offering $70 in trade-in value for used non-bicycle-shaped-objects; it's an incentive for new purchases.
As a result, I wind up buying a surprising number of bikes right off the LBS floor with alarming frequency...they're just all C&V. Either that, or they're interesting enough (Gazelle Whale) to justify the purchase.
