The way the used bike market is lately even the non-overlooked brands are a steal. It kind of doesn't matter that much if its overlooked or not. You're still paying a tiny fraction of what a brand new similar construction would run.

One was a fat postman and the other was a tall hipster doofus.
They tried to run a postal truck full of returnable bottles from New York to Michigan to score the extra $.05/bottle refund in Michigan.
Last I heard they overloaded their inventory and blew their margins on gasoline, or something like that.
I wonder what ever happened to those guys.
