Doesn't bother me if they actually list it in the OldMiniBikes classifieds but it does if it goes straight to Ebay or CL.
Agreed...
Double edge sword though.
One side is the guy who came across it and wants a mini bike guy to have first dibs. Like a nice Toe Gote found at a Estate sale and he wants me to take it off of his hands cheap!!
The other side is the guy you dislike.
I see the same thing with cars. Barrett Jackson auction being televised has ruined classic cars! On the one hand it makes my 67 Tempest worth a lot of money. On the other hand it makes everyone elses junk Tempest worth a lot of money.
American Pickers has done the same with anything Americana. So in the new internet age of "what do I have" and "whats it worth" questions being answered instantly you kinda have to take the good with the bad.
Plus, what should we say, you have to have a minimum of 15 really helpful posts before we let you USE the forum? Or a minimum waiting period before we can buy said bike?
I would rather get rid of the people who only post negative crap anyway..
$0.02..

P.S. if you have a Tote Gote cheap, PM me.. Ill keep quiet about the sale.....
