I have a feeling this is a joke:
[h=2]2005 NEXT Plow Bicycle - $200 (Little Canada MN)[/h]
This bike is in very great condition. This has got me through many snowstorms and proven itself to be very reliable even in the worst conditions. 10spd with ultra low plowing gear, lights are functional and goes very well with the high rise wind breaker. Luggage basket in the back, comes with tow rope. I updated to a snow blower so I have no need for this anymore. Very firm on price, serious buyers only please.

Well, the seller seems to have an interesting personality . . .
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Ca...item48606e2a05
"A true british classic? Not bloody likely. Let me expand, some would say this frame is a perfect retro builders project, they may even say "requires some work", they me even think back to when "Iwas a lad this was all fields y'know" but I cant really do that. If you love all that stuff then fine get a bid in, personally I think you must be mad. Dont get me wrong, the frame is safe and strong (I think its made from old gas piping so it will probably outlive us all) and someone with alot of patience could maybe do something with it? My suggestion would be a couple of hinges and you have yourself a nice ornamental gate maybe?? The seatpost - probably stuck in, the bottom bracket? probably the same, stuck. They may come straight out, I have never tried and dont want to. Its got all tht nice lugwork..........blah blah blah. Let me be clear, if you like faffing with old dross then hey give me as much money as you want. Be aware though you have your work cutout. I could say I would be sorry to see it go.............I would be lying though. I could say I would likt to see it go to a good home.............again lies, I dont care if you scrap it! Actually how much does scrap metal go for********** In short bid if you like it, I certainly dont. You must be mental."

Well this should sell in a hurry.. I love the part about the pictures speak for themselves.
[h=2] Beautiful vintage sport touring bike amazing!!!!! - $1 (The villages)[/h]
You will not find a vintage bike in better shape!!!!!
A beautiful sport touring bike that rides like a dream.
Chromoly frame 1970's
The pictures speak for themselves. $875 OBO
I do not want to get rid of this bike because it will be very difficult to replace. It's a little big for me. Someone 5'11 and up it will fit nicely. I ride this bike more than my carbon frame because it's amazingly comfortable.
Brand new sport touring tires with less than 30 miles on them.
Includes brooks leather grips
Brooks leather touring seat
Jaguar cables
This beauty does not include the seat bag because it was a gift.
Serious inquiry's only please! I'm not desperate to get rid of it and will hold onto it as long as it takes so understand that I won't respond to low offers. Thanks for looking!

I could see a reasonably strong individual tearing right through this.

This ad has been kicking around for months. I'm really surprised that what looks to be a decent mid/late 80's MTB with decent components still has trouble selling for just $40. (At least it looks decent, pics are not great.) And hey, if you don't have $40, the seller will accept "alternative" payment.

Schwinn Sierra bike - $40
Schwinn Sierra bike, needs a new handle bar and a small tune up, asking $40 OBO or trade for trantulas, scorpions, other interesting bugs or N scale train stuff.

[h=1]Vintage 20 1/2" Gary Fisher Genesis Geomerty Red Yellow Bicycle Bike Frame[/h]
YOU ARE BIDDING ON A VINTAGE 20 1/2" GARY FISHER GENESIS GEOMETRY RED YELLOW BICYCLE BIKE FRAME. IT IS USED AND IT IS IN FAIRLY GOOD SHAPE. IT HAS SEVERAL SCUFFS AND SCRAPES FROM NORMAL USE, AS WELL AS SEVERAL RUST SPOTS. IT ALSO NEEDS A GOOD CLEANING AND IT HAS A RATHER LARGE DENT IN ONE OF THE BARS. BUT ASIDE FROM THAT AND THE SCRATCHES AND THE WEAR AND TEAR, IT IS ALRIGHT.
(No, it's not "alright". It's unsafe. Aluminum doesn't like to be dented. Someone used this as a trials frame, and that the stays were crunched as a result.
There's no derailleur hanger either. )
Protip to eBay sellers - You want better feedback, don't sell damaged goods as functional ones.
