Edit: I think it might be a computer error. The price on the first pic is near, but not equal to the largest single precision signed integer. The price when you click into the ad is a cool nine hundred billion.

Fat Tire Cruiser Bike
$275
Custom fat tire bike for sale. 26” fat tires, custom built frame. New chain, grips, seat, and fresh paint. This is a rather large bike and the seat is obviously not adjustable so you need to be tall to ride it. Not made for kids. Has a back pedal brake so its easy to ride. I built the bike but I didn’t ride it so I would rather sell it then let it sit. Perfect for the beach or around the park to follow your kids on. Its big and a bit heavy with the large tires so it would be great to just around the house. Im in no rush to sell it so I will be pretty firm on the price. If its still posted then its still for sale. "

I'm no expert on bike prices, but this seems a bit high for a somewhat scuffed and dirty bike.

edit* I see someone upgraded the front rim and that's not dirt, its pixie dust.

Ultra Rare Vintage Cinelli Track/Fixed/Single Speed - $10,000
Maybe I'm wrong, but I guess it is pretty rare to see a Cinellii with a repaint and re-decal done in such poor taste, covering all the chrome logs, decals not spaced right listed for 3x what a pristine one would cost. I know we have this whole "Covid bike tax" thing and all, but this takes the cake in my book, regardless the seller's intent. If you think you have a $10,000 vintage bike, maybe you should pay for an appraisal? That's what I did when I sold my 1st-year time capsule 1969 Masi GC and 1970 Chinelli SC which were far more rare than this.But hey, "get it before it's gone"

Someone has a very odd idea of what "perfect condition" means.

Title says "with original wheels" and just about the only information provided in the description is that the front wheel is a replacement?

80s Nishiki with Original Wheels, Brooks Saddle - $300 (College Hill)
"I have a real showboat of a road bike. I usually have this wrapped with a nice leather wrapping, but I haven't ridden it in a long time. So it's time to make room in my garage. I will include the Brooks Saddle which has been rarely and gently used. This bike also has a new aluminum front wheel. This bike was always a little too tall for me (I'm 6' tall), but it's such a smooth and fun ride. This bike is an old friend, but I'm happy to pass it on. Feel free to ask any questions!"

Carrying over from the 'long haulers' thread, another overpcied local bike. "Denali mountain bike" for $2,500. At first I thought they accidentally added an extra zero, but I guess not, after months of re-listing without a price change.....

TA Cyclotouriste triple chainring bolts, set of 5 pictured, $63. I asked if the offer was for 5 or 6 sets of bolts, but no answer received after 6 days (4 business days). Surely they know that 6 are needed.... https://www.ebay.com/itm/Specialites...kAAOSw-tBf01Nj
