I've scored some of my best steals on eBay that way ... I won't complain, personally. I scroll through all recently submitted auctions at least once a day and you'd be shocked at how poorly a lot of people list things. I'm not the only one doing this, so for popular stuff one or two other people usually hop in, but auction still usually closes low as hell.

Thanks for the pointers on finding the expired listings. I think I spy a Tretubi sticker. Mine, with the same graphics, is SL and has the 51.151 hour record panto. It rides similar to my Colnago Super and would be a steal at that price, but I don't think this is one. Worth a look though for a Philadelphian.

Indeed. Most of us forumites buy and sell easily. It's simple right? Some folks are just not good at it. Can't take photos or even describe what is sitting in front of them. I was looking at a frame recently on ebay and asked a few questions of the seller. At first he was polite and answered then it turned ugly. Strange.

Something I've never seen before -- a very early Schwinn Voyager. A little price, but super cool.

This is a 1986 Waterford WI built Paramount. The components are a Shimano mix with a 10 speed cassette and a Dura Ace double crankset. Paramount built some of the best steel bikes in America. and their reputation for innovation and for build quality is widely respected. The bikes will always be collector's items that you can use every day.
The bike has the paint chips and decal tears you would expect of a well used bike but there is no rust. The bike has never been used on a trainer so the top tube has no rusting at the cable brazeons. Measured center of top tube to center of the crank the seat tube is 22" or 56cm as it the top tube.
Please include a phone number in your response. The price is $600 or best offer. I will be available to show the bike Saturday or Sunday.

Right. And it's not like spraying clearcoat on top of rust is going to stop it from eating away at the metal. That bike is being sold where people probably aren't so familiar with rust, though.

Fugi Sand Blaster
I don't know much about The Fugees, but the price is nice:FUGI SANDBLASTER - $25 (Baldwinville)
needs new tires
...and now that I've posted it, I bet it's not classic or vintage. It caught my eye, anyway.
