Was once at my mother inlaws house on a family visit, I offered to pop down the shop to get a loaf.
I popped down the shop alright....65 miles away, and came back with a BSA hidden in the boot, I hadn't planned it....honest Guvnor !
I've had one or two lovely bikes donated to me, but one that sticks in my mind is the Raleigh Roadster I got for 99p (that's £0.99), I suspected that no one would go for it because it was advertised high up in the mist laden moors where dogs howl and normal humans throw in the towel.
I may have mentioned this before, but the one I like best is when someone says to me "I've got another old pile of junk round the back if you wouldn't mind taking it away".....

RE:AGE / VALUE: The drive to go get it

I once bought a pair of Hercules 26" bikes from an old guy at a rummage sale -- one man's, one woman's, and they were absolutely mint. They came with the cardboard display board that was with them in the bike shop or department store when they were new. Anyway, I posted them for sale and a guy actually drove his truck from Atlanta, Ga. to my house in Lafayette, Indiana to pick them up. I was amazed. He didn't want to risk damage in shipment, which was A-OK with me.
