You're dealing with it the Zoomer way right now, you bitch about them on the internet and that's all your shit generation is good for.

Leave with $200 Boomer bike that really was worth $20 and you're still full of regret but at least you saved over $100

Just ignore them, but it would be nice if Craigslist had some feature where you could hide listings from certain sellers. I’ve been seeing the same shit bikes on my local craigslist for years and I don’t think they’ve dropped the price a single time.

>>1405765
It does get old seeing the same thing after a while but I agree that it’s not really something worth starting a thread over.

I've had the opposite problem
>That bike is 30 years old, it's worth no more than $60 in mint condition and you're a scammer
The bike was a completely restored 80s chromoly road bike with full Shimano 600 arabesque and I was asking $250.

Where I live it a complete wasteland. The era of scoring great deals on Craigslist ended a decade ago. They're are still good deals if you are an expert but in most markets everything has been flipped and you need to find a decent human who just loves bikes or a rich guy who just wants a bike gone. Everyone else is a complete idiot who has no idea how shitty their bikes are, or a bike flipper that overcharges by $100-$200 selling bikes with chinese tires and other dirt cheap parts

Where do you live? It used to be awful here (medium sized California city with several uiversities). Anything with drop bars would go for at least $150 because every faggot wanted that urban hipster aesthetic.

Don't think it's worth $400? Don't pay $400. Just move on.
No one's obliged to sell their bike to you.

worse is when you're selling for 250, agree on $200, drive to the agreed location, meet the guy, let him ride around a couple of minutes to try it out only to hear him say after "alright I got 30 bucks"

I wouldn't buy a bike off someone who insisted on meeting in public and not at their house because i'd assume it was stolen

It depends, sometimes they're just careful with their personal info. And you can usually tell if it's stolen if you message the person back and forth a bit

I'm not really interested in dealing with a stranger who is mistrustful either. Mistrustful people are more often than not untrustworthy.

When I lived in a frou-frou apartment complex with absolutely shitty guest parking policies I would meet people at the grocery store parking lot down the street. Then I would go buy groceries.

Move on. I had some boomer selling an old steel bike for $15, but literally was a dick towards me. Ended up getting two bikes with two wheelsets for $20.

Blame this on hipsters buying into the (((Just Ride))) jewery. Now even carbon hi tensile steel bikes have to be sold for $200+ because Grant Peterstein sells steel bikes for 6 gorillion shekels.

I prefer these Boomers to all the other retards who think they can buy a bike and then sell it 6months later for THE FULL RETAIL PRICE.

Buying and selling online has become very tiresome over the last few years. It used to be a gentlemen's game.

Buy bikes online, do your own maintenance, donate your old stuff to a co-op. Forget reselling, flipping, or fixing old bikes.

That's why you have them meet close to you. And ask for the money before the test ride.

I’ve seen worse

>$250 on Walmart dot com
Why do these idiots think I’m gonna buy their shitty bike when I could buy one brand new for myself for half the price?
Also earlier on Facebook I saw a laughable boomer who was defending huffy. “My bike is great, Huffy is made on the same line as other higher end bikes and my huffy can go on the same trails as anybody’s exotic bike”. I wanted to explain carbon bikes, carbon layup, the difference between bikes and BSOs and how his bike would be shaken to pieces on rock gardens that my full carbon enduro would float over like it was on smooth asphalt.
Tfw boomers complain about the price of a decent bike and then drive around in Cadillacs and Mercedes...
