Well, it’s on the way to my house. I’ll post pics. I might have overpaid, but it has Cobalto brakes that I don’t think people noticed, so I couldn’t resist 🤫 I might have to change plans for my Eroica bike now.

Allez Merz edition, this is on its 3rd or 4th cycle IIRC, seller cut their start price more than half this cycle. https://www.ebay.com/itm/283701086230

Here's something you don't see every day:
Quite spendy though, with an $800 ask. Probably no need to rush your offer.

So this one finished with a $300 and change bid and now relisted next day with $199 opening bid. Always raises a red flag for me on a quick turnaround like that but I see it all the time. Anyway, cool bike and I think a decent deal at the last closing price.

there were only 2 bidders and I was one of them. I figured for that cheap I would tolerate a blue bike.
they ran me all the way up to 260 something and that's when I tapped out. My shipping would have only been 65 bucks.
funny the "buyer" didn't perform.
I messaged seller to ask what happened

I saw those brakes but wasn't sure since the "gem" looked so dark in the pics. I had contacted the seller with several questions but he didn't answer about the brakes and one other question. I had told myself I'd go up to a ridiculous $500 to get it and was online ready to bid there at the end. In a moment of clear reasoning I was like, "Stop it Dummy, you still have 3 other frames to build." So I didn't bid, weird for me, LOL! Glad it went to someone here and you better share lots and lots of pictures of it! Congrats

BTW, seller semi-gouged me on the shipping. Listed as $50 in the ad, and I got an invoice for $76. I asked him to check shipbikes, and he came back with an even higher quote, which I highly doubt was accurate. I didn't argue and went along, but between that and 5% sales tax, left me feeling like I didn't get a great deal, but Last ride 76 you're right, there are some good bits on there to make me feel good about it!

Yeh shill bid is a likely scenario. If buyer and seller mutually agree to cancel a purchase, like a disagreement over shipping cost or "oops, I didn't mean to bid" , it would still take a couple days to sort out.

"I have some plans to offload some of my excess Campy stash and maybe another frame to offset the cost here, but again, we'll see - I've said that many times before!"

seller states: "He was in Czechoslovakia and he didn't want to pay the shipping I guess. You're interested?"
well ya. That's why I bid. Lol

Americans are so (notoriously?) bad at geography that Czechoslovakia ~= Czech Republic, so I'd give the seller a pass on that one.

...they're not on Craigslist, but if you live in or near Davis, CA and ride a 25" frame, the Bike Collective over at 4th and L has both a Raleigh Comp GS and a PX-10 hanging in the back of the shop for sale right now. Their prices are usually pretty reasonable.
