You know...if I lived in the NYC area, I'd be tempted to pull this kind of flip...I mean, if the market will bear it...

That's the thing. So many people are clueless. I find the clowns (usually the same ones in my local) amusing that are clearly trying to buy bikes to flip them. Or the CL Bike Police that are critiquing the seller. I don't buy bikes on CL. I sell them there. And I sold a beautiful condition Raleigh Sprite for $100. Paid $12.

Single speeding on MTB's is about climbing, then coasting. Small gear to get up, big tires to fly down.

I don't know if this should go somewhere else, but with the odd bends in the downtube and seat stays, I wonder if this is right. No seat tube??? Is it some kind of kids bike?

For $180 you'd think they'd at least be nice enough to put a chain and freewheel on.
And in what universe is a resin Peugeot headbadge worth $100?
https://sacramento.craigslist.org/bik/1762555261.html
I think I noticed these most today because I own/have owned other birds of this feather- a cheap Gitane ($10) and a Peugeot mixte ($60, and that was for the whole dang bike)

I'd rock that.
Somebody asking $650 for an unrideable old Peugeot- no picture posted either. I wouldn't even pay that much for a PX10, and I suspect this one is far below that ranking:

Depends on the load, angle of the shot, and thickness of the tube.
I once put five rounds through the fuel door cover of a junk car, and when I opened the door the expended bullets were right inside the door resting under the fuel cap. 9x18 Makarov FMJ, and they barely penetrated one thickness of automotive sheet metal.

"Top of the Line", my mick arse.
https://richmond.craigslist.org/bik/1764062053.html
Can't sellers be bothered to do even a modicum of research? Or do they just count on all the buyers being morons?
Top of what line? Boat anchors? Okay, I know the GP is a decent entry level ride, but this is way overstating the case. And overpricing it as well, especially given the large size.
And if you're going to try and charge 600$ for an eighties Peugeot (likely entry level) how about a picture?
https://richmond.craigslist.org/bik/1762249380.html
The flying saucers must have been using their ray to wipe out brain waves in the RVA area lately or something...

What? 
I sometimes wonder if people think that if their bike says "Peugeot" it automatically means their turd is actually a turd made of diamonds. I want to shake them and say, "No, it doesn't matter. Your turd is still a turd. No turd is worth $300."

I have 2 Peugeot adult bikes (3-speed). They've been barely ridden (5x max), but we've kept them an an outside porch (under a roof) so may need a little clean-up. We paid over $600 each for them, but are offering them now for $300 for one, or $500 for both.

Even the Peugeots that people actually WANT are not that good! And again, gear descriptions for the hard of thinking.
