I'm 10 miles down the road from Sorrento and may try to take a look tomorrow. Has anybody made contact with the seller to find out some history on the bike? I could be interested in bike myself after a look but cash is extremely tight. Would consider holding it for POG member if I pass.

I've seen some scammy stuff down that way on CL. Caveat emptor for sure. One guy had been heisting other CL fotos and posting them as his own "collection" for sale. Dunno how many got suckered. I have a special place in my dungeon for bike thieves and those of their ilk.
I sent an e-mail yesterday afternoon and again this morning with no reply or call either.
I've often wondered if some of the fantasy ads that we see from time to time are posted simply to "measure the market". I doubt it's illegal in the criminal sense to advertise something you don't really want to sell, though it may be -to me at least- unethical. In NC we have a consumer protection law that sanctions "unfair and deceptive trade practices". It applies to just about any commercial situation and to any act that "tends" to deceive (see NCGS Ch 75). Food for thought...
As above I've had no reply yet either. By the pic does look a little cobbled together...

The Hodge clan lives in Sorrento and have had a few Pentons.I thought it might be them.

Hey, it is Florida. Anybody have any swampland FOR SALE cheap? joe
Yeah I got a deal for you. Two units, mountain view. "Glengarry, Glenross".
Looks like this same bike is now on ebay. Starts at $650. Maybe the seller realized the bike was worth more than $350. Also a couple of other blue Pentons up for auction.

Chaulk up another waste-o-time ad for "Crook's List". If anyone in the group is bidding on the Livonia Michigan Jackpiner and needs assistance with pick-up or a start on heading it East. Contact me.
