Check it out. I found these on craigslist. I put it here in NSM since it looks pretty old for a toy, even though it may be a newer bike in there. I just thought it was cool.

Here's the ad while it lasts:

Slowly. I would say poorly, but I'm still trying to keep my spirits up on it. I was dead set on having a scooter by my birthday, and yesterday has come and gone.

I've emailed/called on several, but either folks don't email me back, or I get an immediate response...only for them to tell me it's been taken. Let's do the list shall we?

1) The Primavera in Savannah, GA was only half a rusted piece of junk, not worth $250, let alone the asking price.
2) The 100 in NC was put on hold while I followed up on #3, and got snatched up (understandably) while I had it on the back burner. Congrats That L do pig! How's she running?
3) The $400 VNB project bike in Atlanta, which I thought was perfect. I called 5 times, and emailed twice. No response. I can't imagine it was already gone when I first called. I responded to the ad in less than 6 hrs after it was posted.
4) The P200e in Northern AL. No response.
5) There was one in...was it Orlando?...I got a response less than five minutes after emailing to let me know it was already taken. The ad was less than three days old.
6) The LX150 in Orlando that I emailed about with body damage. Everyone on the Modern side told me not to touch that with a 10 foot pole.
7) I emailed a guy last week in ATL that said he had several Vespas and was looking to trade one for a VW bus. I asked if he had anything else he was willing to sell, or knew someone who did. He emailed back and asked me to call him with details on what I was looking for. I've called three times, no response.

Maybe I should just buy this Barbie and call it a wash? Laughing emoticon Just kidding. Clown emoticon

A mate of mine bought an early 50's handle bar allstate that went up for sale here the other day.

Ad went up at 11pm, email went out around 11:15pm it was in his garage within 10 hours after that.

That's how quick things move.

I can believe it. After I got the list started I realized there were probably going to be a bunch more examples than people were willing to read, so I just cut it off. It's crazy.

???? huh? That ain't me.

The only thing I can think of is that you may mean this one? http://myusparkpolicescooter.blogspot.com/?psinvite=ALRopfX5dXR01q9mr7D_v7w37ude3XANn_VAW2Mm0-PeOg4hqYL1k63ovnsKPAv1wpT6F_N0A33ZlKDLnzuKBUAvJZsElqsSjw

That's a friend of mine.

Oh, nevermind then. I knew someone told me they'd grabbed her up, but I can't remember who now. They did say they'd gotten it for a friend. I thought it was you, but I guess not.

Why not call some of your local service (& sales) shops and ask if they know of anybody selling something in your price range? You might be surprised what's just sitting in the back of some shop. That's not to say you should expect to find an SS180 or GS for pocket change, but there may be a bike for you.
