1980’s Peugeot Champion
does anybody remember this bike in the ‘80s costing this much?
I don’t. Back then for $1200 CDN I can get a Dura-Ace racing bike.
Granted, it is a nice bike but that buyer did not pay over $1,000 but to state that someone paid over $2,500 is not accurate.
Any other opinions?

^ "Price is going to be firm." Suggests price is not firm right now, so make your offers before it's too late.

I can't decide if this is cute or possibly the start of something that will end like a short story by Stephen King.

I rode out of the apartment complex entrance and down the hill to the highway, and to the tracks on the other side. I rolled up the the edge of the highway, pushed the suicide shifter all the way forward, and looked for my break in the traffic. I saw my chance, and mashed those pedals with all the might my legs could manage to get to the lot on the other side of the highway, and the footpath that led to the trailer park and the tracks behind them. I rolled down the footpath through the trees and arrived at the tracks, and every thought I had about getting a summer's supply of chewing gum vanished from my mind. On the rocky ballast next to the tracks was a body, unmistakably mangled by a passing train. I went for a closer look and saw that the train's heavy wheels had mangled the corpse badly. I knew an opportunity when I saw it, though, so I looked for a small piece I could show off as proof to my buddies. I settled on a tattooed finger. I didn't want to bring the piece into the apartment where Ma could find it, so I hid the finger under the seat in the open end of the seatpost where it fit perfectly. I took stick and dug a shallow pit a little way from the ballast to hide a few other choice parts in, then dragged the wetter pieces closer to the river. I was going to have favors from Chuck, Bobby, and Joey for life by just letting them look at the bones!
I had my plan in place. I just needed to come back another time with a sack to move the other pieces with, probably after dark. Unfortunately for me, while trying to get back across US 9, I misjudged a semi's speed, and it hit me dead on. I know, it doesn't make sense. If I was squashed by a semi, how am I telling you about it? Well, hear me out: just before I felt the grill of that Mack touch my cheek and the sound of screaming tires stopped, I wished that I could be back home. It was dark and quiet for a second, and then two. Then another two. When I opened my eyes, half expecting to see fiery pits and Old Scratch himself, I saw instead the ceiling of my room. I was in my bed, and I didn't have a scratch on me. My bike was in the storage area, where I usually kept it, in perfect condition.
That summer saw the worst measles outbreak in a generation that affected most of the upstate area. Ma wouldn't let me out, and told me that Bobby Maddox had gone to the hospital and died because of the measles. I was afraid to ride the bike after that anyway, and convinced myself that I dreamt it all. I wasn't long before I became distracted by girls that suddenly started to look different than they used to and I began pursuing my other interests with vigor.
Anyway, I just buried Ma, still in New Windsor, and visited a few spots I remember from my youth. Most places were really different, but the spot where I hid some of the body was just like I remembered or rather, thought I dreamed it looked like. I realized that I hadn't been dreaming; I was supposed to die on US 9 that day. I think the bike and the finger had something to do with it, and I have a few more wishes I'd like to make."

Wow. Now I can tell my grandkids, "I was there when BikeForums.net fan-fiction first began..."
I really enjoyed that, actually. "I settled on a tattooed finger."
If the CL ad had that story in it, somebody would probably buy the guy a copper-tone Stingray Krate
