Another Sweetheart Deal :)

I repaired a Lance Phoenix that had a burnt exhaust valve a week or so ago and the guy was really happy so he gave me a Mongoose mountain bike that had a missing front wheel on top of the money he owed me so today I went to all the bike shops in Pasadena and they all wanted $100 for a new wheel because it has a disc brake. Anyway, the last bike shop I went to sold me a slightly used wheel/disc for $55. I immediately put the bike on CL for $175obo and within an hour I received several inquiries, one from a guy that said: "I'll pay you the full price you asked for." He didn't even try to talk me down a bit. Hope he follows through and shows up later. He's about an hour's drive (Irvine) So that's $120 profit just for buying a wheel. Minus $5 I tipped the guy because he threw in a new inner tube for free so it was $115.

Anyway, here's the bike. It's a $269 Wal-mart bike. Shhhh! ;D

Well played. :thumb: I'd probably be putting an engine on the bicycle or something, losing money instead of making it.

I might have done the same thing if it weren't for the quick responses I received after posting that CL ad. L.A. Is a big place w/lots o' humans.

Can't ask for more!
