Warning, has some swearing. But it was funny. Who is so lame as to e-mail a seller to tell them "I could get it cheaper at Wal-Mart?

Pfft. It is too much money for that bike. I wouldn't pay $10 to slowly haul my butt around on that overweight hunk of steel. Even Walmart's price is too expensive.

Posted by Parsimony (Member # 8140) on :

Quite an ugly bike.

Well, there WAS warning given. The seller, after all, did say it was a "Huffy Santa Fe beach cruiser."

Huffy indeed.

Man ... that bike seat looks like a giant block of cheese.

Posted by Morbo (Member # 5309) on :

I love the way it switches from slick sales spiel to ANGRY RANT IN 50 PT. FONT AND RED LETTERS with no warning.

It sounds like he was trying to set it up as a real retro bike, as opposed to the fake ones they sell at walmart.

I don't think it would have been any better if it were gradual.

Wow. He needs to check out the product on this shirt.

Cause I sat and watched a 30 minute video today explaining that you can get fired for working off the clock. Funny how rumors start...

Well, Wal-Mart is the wellspring from which all evil rises.

Why did you think the seller was male? It was a women's bike.

Why would the bike have anything to do with whether the seller is male or female? It was brand new, not used. With the gender being unknown, I used he.

To me, it sounded like a her who was desperately in need of Valium or chocolate. [Wink]

Posted by zgator (Member # 3833) on :

I immediately thought it was a she.

Posted by Dagonee (Member # 5818) on :

Well, I suggested the Valium.

Plus, I try not to assume that every hysterical rant is written by a woman. [Wink]

No target is the wellspring of evil.
