Took me longer to post the ad on Craigslist than it did to sell both bikes! The phone was ringing within SECONDS of posting the ad (I think we didn't ask anywhere near enough for them, but my heart went to mush when I saw the college age kids that bought them for their regular transportation to get to work because they cannot afford cars or fuel in this f****** up economy...(makes me SO angry!) William wants to buy a couple of folding bicycles to save on space (in the RV)....there ARE some really nice ones out there....I'm a bit skeptical, but definitely game....and my bike was difficult to ride. William has had his Schwinn since the early 1970's and got a LOT of use out of it....and as you can see, it still looks (and rides) great. Mine was a "whim" purchase a few years ago, but never "knocked my socks off"...and due to fairly recent health issues, I haven't ridden it much anyway (but, I WANT to). Anyway...the bikes went to good homes for a song and we're both happy about it. I'll post pictures of the new bikes when we get them (SOON).
Meanwhile, Dad is still at home (thank God!)....and thank you all again for your kind thoughts, prayers and words. I'll fill you in more, soon enough. - Mary Ann
I always feel the same way when we sell an item quickly. Did we ask enough? Good that someone needy got them though.
ReplyDeleteI would feel good about the fact that college-age folks bought them and will get more good use out of them.
