Re: Should we bury Craigslist?
I bookmarked a CL motorcycle search with -harley typed in. That weeds out half of the stuff that Im not interested in.
Re: Should we bury Craigslist?
y'all every use auto-alert systems like "IfThisThenThat" or whatever? I setup some apps to perouse CL and alert me fore specific keywords, tomas and derbi, good 50 shifties or mopeds etc. It works, sends you a note almost as soon as stuffs posted, but I dont think I actually wound up getting good deals that way, just felt extra FOMO for not getting stuff...
Re: Should we bury Craigslist?
My old bike spotted on cl. Gave the dude a super deal and now he's selling for a fortune 🙄. It was a fast bike made with all used parts I had laying around, rode it daily to lunch.
Re: Should we bury Craigslist?
I recently sold two bikes on the same craigslist ad and an inflatable boat yesterday within 4 hours of posting. All sold for full asking price.
Re: Should we bury Craigslist?
You could always offer to buy it back for what you paid
Re: Should we bury Craigslist?
Nah, I dont need another moped right now. Been putting money into my flareside project.
Re: Should we bury Craigslist?
Just dropped the $5.00 to unload my Crown Vic, we shall see....I still peruse daily, can't help it! :)
Re: Should we bury Craigslist?
You should at least break even lol
Re: Should we bury Craigslist?
^ Ha! :D
Re: Should we bury Craigslist?
Yes, dirt bikes have gone up a lot. Especially Yamaha dt125 or 175, Suzuki models in same cc's.
Re: Should we bury Craigslist?
Deals can still be had but you must scour, people post shit in the wrong sections, no pics, thumb over the lens etc.

Re: Should we bury Craigslist?
I like when they have ten closeup pics of the bike, but not an overall shot. Or pics in a dark garage, leaning up against the Nordic track covered in trashbags.
Re: Should we bury Craigslist?
or when it's not even the moped, you just see something in the background of another picture - remember steven buzzards snagging the old Toledo tomos chopper just in the background of a car engine on craigslist? haha
Re: Should we bury Craigslist?
Lol, yeah one blurry pic taken at night of a wheel of some sort of two wheeled vehicle.
Re: Should we bury Craigslist?
I got an original 70's swing bike that way. Dude has some crap pictures in his garage for some crap bike, with a rusty swing bike in the background. Asked about it, and got it for $25.
Restored it and sold it for $550.
Re: Should we bury Craigslist?
Wow, that's one cool bicycle. I would love to ride one of those.
Re: Should we bury Craigslist?
Those bikes are super cool and a trick to see. My buddy has a pair of them he rides around swap meets, people dont know what it is and he'll swing the front end out and the people will look perplexed lol
Re: Should we bury Craigslist?
Pretty nice bike, price seems high but it is Texas after all.
Re: Should we bury Craigslist?
dang that swingbike rules. We built a few for fun at my old bike co-op, used to race em down the parking deck. super score, I never really realized it was a thing anyone actually sold haha
Re: Should we bury Craigslist?
Funny thing about my swing bike. I had it on Craig's for months. Just kept getting low ball offers.
Then American Pickers found one on their show, and the next day I sold mine for full price, and had calls for weeks, even after I deleted the ad.

Yeah I have seen this trend here also. If American pickers found some rusty ass old sign then any rusty sign is worth hundreds. If it looks like it may have been a sign at one point and has an F that is kinda recognizable then it is worth a few hundred. Rust sells now. I am cashing in on it. I live on the coast so I can say any rusty junk I have was found in a barn on the coast of maine. That is why it is rusty. The actual reason is I found it at the dump and tossed it to the side, let the weeds grow up around it, then I pissed on it for 5 years and then found it again after I weed wacked and was like.....fuck I shoud sell this. Rusty gold.
