I'd be tempted to buy a decent looking Bob Jackson in my size at $420 that was available locally.

I often miss out on these crazy-insane deals. Here's a pretty good example albeit it's probably not quite as much a deal as the Jackson.
I know it hurts, but for me there's almost always been a silver lining. It was actually a good thing I missed out on the Bianchi, I scored my beloved Behringer on a sweet deal not long after and wouldn't have had enough $$ in the bike slush fund had I bought it.
Then, a couple months later, I had a wild score that netted almost $5k profit without lifting a finger to rehab anything which, strangely, almost made me sick to my stomach. It was probably more than I've made over the last 10 years of combined efforts spending hours rebuilding and restoring.
Anyway, something awesome or awesome-er will come up! I had a crazy-awesome score found last night on eBay. Woke up at 6:30am to go pick it up from the owner. I know at least two dozen people emailed, and I was two hours late to the party. Not sure why he picked me, but ... I got about 600-800 worth for a c-note as a result.

Colson bike. Bought for 260$. I had 12 offers for the bike on TheCabe. Sold it for 2,500.00$ plus shipping, in less than 24 hours.
Is it anything wrong?
My buyer was so happy with his new acquisition, he sent me pictures.

Yup. I've never flipped a bike without servicing it. Doesn't feel right, and I honestly enjoy the work.

The Bob Jackson frame and fork, that I sold in the first day of the year, Campagnolo drop outs, Japan head set and bb.
the buyer paid 395$ shipped to him.
The bike, as I got had different components, so I decided to sell the frame and fork and keep thw rest.
