I was bored so I cruised to a pawn shop and checked out what they had. Those guys must have been stoned. You can definitely tell that they don't know what they are looking at or how to price bikes. The guy at the counter was talking up the bikes like they were brand new and mint and I was chuckling inside. I wish I could have been a jerk and laughed at him.
And I am not talking about bargains. They had a 2008 ? Trek Fuel Ex 5.5 there that was fairly rough and filthy and they wanted $950. Also had a Motobecane Fly Team 26" that I am guessing someone converted to single speed and looked like a rigid carbon fork for $1200 and it was just as rough as the Trek. And I won't even get into the low end department store bikes. Crazy.
