    Well, it happened again. I put up two more bikes on Craigslist and almost immediately
    I got a message from a guy that wanted to buy the Aliverti and pick it up the next day.
    Of course he never showed up. Never respomded.
    This has become the rule rather than the exception. But occassionally I am surprised when someone shows u-p and takes the bike without offering me $20 bucks for the bike and acts offended when I turn it down.
