I guess that I should stop throwing away the old rusted steel bike parts that I sometimes have, and post them on ebay.

Apparently there are people who are too snooty to realize that bike frames can be made out of something other than steel and be perfectly fine.

Another "ambitious" Peugeot, this one listed as "1971-72 Bronze Peugeot PX-10 - $1000 (San Francisco)".
https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/bik/1551399773.html
$1000 may sound like a lot, but it does include stem shifters, dork disk, rat trap pedals, and a frame without the slightest hint of PX-10 chrome:
