Topic: craigslist #$%*

I had driven so far that I bought it anyway.

That's exactly what I meant. Many sellers know that if they state the real shape of their bikes, nobody will take the annoyance to drive up to them and pick it up. By saying white lies or even black ones, once the prospective buyer is there, chances are he will buy it. Those sellers deserve to keep their crappy bikes and to be asked for a compensation because of their lack of honesty.

The one I mentioned above, I was irritated and let them know of my displeasure with their lie.  I offered them a real low ball offer $20 which they turned down, then about 10 minutes after I left, they called me and said they'd go for it, but I said, well I'm already on my way home and that someone else may buy it.  I'm sure there was $20 worth of parts, but I had the feeling there was some bad karma attached that I didn't want hanging around.
