It was on both craigs list and ebay
Did you post the links here?
Nope. Its not a big deal. The folks in here thought the value was around $1500 to maybe $2000. But you need to consider that the pictures looked better than the bike. It still needed a bit of work and that work will cost some money.
For me I got to rescue a bike that would have rotted to death. I got to have fun puttering around in my garage and when I decided I was ready, I was able to move it along and did not take a loss on it.
