Why do I feel like this is a terrible idea?

"I'm selling a rowbike, it is in good shape, it has just sat for awhile.

I'm not the original owner and this is not my personal bike.

Check out https://www.rowbike.com/ for all things rowbike. Feel free to ask any and all questions.

I can not deliver and am only available Sunday thru Thursday.

Asking 300

I am willing to trade for some of equal value, Snowboards and boots, kayak, go kart, motorcycle/dirt bike, mountain / road / bmx bike, or tools. I'm not interested in furniture, electronics or house hold appliances."

This is not my own ad.
A rowbike.
Seriously.
Hit a bump, try to turn, and next thing ya know, you're a stain on the asphalt.

I'll give you -6000$ for it, because that's what it's going to cost in medical bills when in done with it!

Wait would he be paying you to take it?

Do you steer it with your feet?

I visited the website, and it's got all these "claims" about how great this thing is for fitness with positively NO evidence.
If he paid me to take it, I would and then sell it off to some sucker that's worried about his 'health' by buying a machine that will get him run over.
I'll pass.

This is the kind of machine that deserves to have no wheels and stay as an indoor, stationary exercize machine.

Amputate it.

READ THIS

No chitchat in for sale/trade threads please

thank you

Uhmmm, I didn't start this thread here.
I started it in Crazy Craigslist Finds.
I was actually wondering which mod moved it.
And sorry about the "other" thread that ya closed. (no offense taken, I totally understand why)
So yeah, this find was on CL, so if you could/would move it back to CCF, that'd be great.
I'll edit the opening post, 'cause I guess it's not quite clear that THIS IS NOT MY AD.

 

[itsid]

Ahaa. so you were quoting a CL find...
without 'quoting' and without the link to the source...

Who'd thunk...
See.. this is what you get for posting random for sale stuff..
misunderstandings

'sid

PS moved back:
next time, please add the source so this doesn't happen again

 

[JTSpeedDemon]

Ahh, ok gotcha. I'll edit in the link if the ad's still there.
