Haha...yeah. I just checked - that thing is at $330 with a day left.
I just picked up a used Trek bike off craigslist today - so there went my parts car money. Of course, I'm about to file my taxes too....so maybe I'll try to sneak in at the last minute. Per your suggestion - I don't think I'd go over $400 on it.
I'll tell you what though - I like this listing too (as a seperate project). Not the CD that I've been longing for.....but this thing would be a steal for the current price.

It's not too far from us either - down in Chester County. I noticed he won't share the reserve price though....but with a non-functional tranny - he couldn't have set it too high.
