Re: Check This CL Ad - The End
Yeah, me too - but as I thought, he was going for cash rather than honor his original posting. Very bad sportsmanship, if you ask me. Hey, I still got my $50 Puch 250 consolation prize! Leaves me more cash for the holidays anyway.
So if somebody shows up on the forum here with a nice '76 Sulfur Yellow GL1000, I'd be very interested to see how much he got shaken down...I mean, paid for it!

Re: Check This CL Ad
Too bad and yes there is no honour among thieves it seems. It's time to walk away is my motto.
Best one for me was the for sale ad and then the response to me "it seems I under priced it" based on the multiple responses to my ad, so now I am taking blind bids for the bike.
Like they say just like buses, there is always another one that will come along. That Puch looks like a really interesting bike and project. Glad the see and learn more about that brand and the work you have done on them.

Re: Check This CL Ad
My latest favorite mostly happens on Facebook Marketplace, but the seller lists the price as "Free" in the title, but then adds an (normally ridiculously high) ACTUAL price hidden in the ad itself. Trying to pull one over on me before I even get a chance to contact you? Yeah, no thanks.

"There WILL be others."
Yes, you're right. There always is. Reminds me of Yoda saying "No - there is another".
And Yes, the Puch is cool; you don't see them very often, and parts are available, so why not, as time permits...I'm really thinking I'm going to do a frame-up as best I can; new paint, etc. I'm still putting the '78 GL 1000 back together too, so all that should keep me out of the bars, so to speak.

Re: Check This CL Ad
Just a Heads-Up - this shady guy is now running a Raleigh NC CL ad in the Parts section for a RED '76 GL1000 for $495...I love how he leaves room in there for slop.
$495?? Who advertises something for '$495'...??
