Why not $10,000?

[BiketoBasics]

For a lark, I decided to take a looksee at oivey for an XL size hybrid bike. I see offerings such as this one:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/256882622800

That one is offered at $1000cdn.

I don't understand where flippers base their starting points at. Apparently this seller is a bike shop.

Low-end, mystery Cr-Mo. Maybe the seller accidentally added one zero too many to the price?

Some people are idiots.
There are a lot of people online.
Easy to find idiots.

A lot of private stuff for sale online is speculative.

A lot of it is money laundering.

Got 10k from dealing?
Sell a "vintage bike" for 10k, show the bank the ad,

To be fair it only needs a new seatpost, and a saddle, a chain and spoke protector and its good as new.

@ grantoury:
Yes, absolutely! If completeted with those parts missing,
it would probably then even win B.O.T.M. or even year!

About the price:
Chill out people, it's not US$ it's "only" CAN$!
So $CAN 1'000 equals to almost 0$ or almost close to 0 for any other serious currency....

I think this bike is a bargain, really....
who knows...maybe it's a "sign" that there is no seatpost in the seattube....
Just turn the bike around on it's "head" aka "upside-down" and who knows, just a pure speculation....
maybe something "valuable" comes out of its seattube.....
@bikeworkshop :
Hmm.....maybe your theory indeed applies here....(?)
