This is at least the 3rd time, to my knowlege, that this guy has listed this bike for the same starting price. Nice bike, but me thinks he should lower the starting price?:yesnod:

it's an $1100 frame new isn't it? he might have better luck using a lower starting bid to generate some attention but his price isn't unfair imho.
I don't think it's unfair, either, but 3x and yer out? I'd try a lower starting bid.

I had to look to see if this was the same doof who listed (...and relisted...and relisted...) a Poprad I was interested in, for a total of 7 or 8 times. His opening bids, as initially posted, were never out of line, but would change on a daily basis, sometimes rising, sometimes plunging. I couldn't stand it after a while, and asked if this was his idea of a bright marketing ploy, and he replied it was his bike and he could do what he wanted. Well, of course it was, but what kind of froot loop would screw around like this? As far as I know, he never did get any bids.

Negative. He's listing a Crosswind with the Crossbow fork. The primary difference between the Crosswind and the Crossbow is the paint and the fork. If it came with the Python fork, it would be an almost reasonable starting bid. As stated, it's a rip-off.
