" do some research before spitting out an uneducated offer. Offers of $50, $100 and anything <$200 will be laughed off. "

Send him an offer for $199 ....

"Wet Dream of the Week!"   :laugh: :grin: :wink:  Some people are so funny and emotional and totally unrealistic when it comes to selling their vehicles...

IMHO - That is a $500 parts bike at best...and that would be at the high end... :rolleyes: :huh: :rolleyes: :shocked:

Looks like rats must have chewed off the instruments,  nice patina though.

Ya well right after that he says he will not be low balled. So I take say we go 50/50 on which one is the best line but if you put those 2 lines together then the laughter factor goes up exponentially.   :thumb:  :popcorn:

Thinks he's gonna get over "$1K" for it?

Is this just a passively listed Motobecane MonkeyWards ad?

I alike the "I voted for the bill before I voted against it", lawyer-speak; "..I have had the bike running....  I obviously don't run it."
 
I wonder if he'll take BitCoin or my BlockBuster card?

Todd.

Yeah it's pretty difficult to replace the pan gasket. :sad: I thought maybe the oil drain plug was out and he didn't have the time to screw it in. :laugh: :laugh:

You're dealing with a seller who's seen too many motorcycle auctions on TV.

Exactly.   It's a "Barn Find", those are the magic words with which you can conjure $1200 out of a $350 parts basket.

I'm surprised that there's not a video with it showing someone unveiling it from under a ratty tarp with hay on it.  That would be worth another grand easy ....

I've seen that bike before, same bloated hyperbole.
It is a good laugh. But I would gladly pay him 1k(krugerrand), I can get one for 50USD on the internet. :grin:

It has a "clear title" so IMHO, that's the value of that pile. I'd give a hunnerd bux. If I wanted it...

Sad to see such a beautiful bike in such poor condition.  Laugh all you want, poke fun etc but that is a damn shame.

 Can't you buy one of these in running order for $3K or less ? It's gonna cost that much to bring this one back , probably why he is selling it . The Motobecane thing is cracking me up  :laugh:
