Re: New Windsor Tourist bikes on eBay

Now this guy is selling "Windsor Tourists" on Ebay for $550usd brand

The spec is exactly what I want: cromo frame and fork, components are a
mix of Tiagra, Deore, and Ritchey. Perfect.

Is this like those "Asian Motobecanes" that are too good to be true?

550 for a 1500 (list) bike is mighty tempting.

Somtimes things on e-bay are too good "plus true". Very true. People
get strapped for money and they sell things worth alot of money for
ridulously low prices. Not saying others do not rip you off. I have
sold some things on e-bay for such low prices I don't know what I was
thinking. I sold a brand new Movado watch worth 1,000 for 250. I have
sold some almost new designer handbags for a third of what they cost
me. Some people just need quick money or want to get rid of things.
Not everyone is ripping you off on e-bay. I buy and sell on e-bay all
the time. In all the years I have been doing it...I have not had alot
of bad experience. I have snagged some great bargains and I have also
sold things at very low cost just to get the thing sold quickly. Sell
it low, and it sells fast. Don't discount e-bay for finding things you
might think are too good to be true. Sometimes they are just great
deals.
