Our Friend Craig

We gave ourself a week to move out of our apartment from our last day of work till the last day on our lease. This gave us the option to try and get some money by posting things on our favorite website: Craigslist. Among the things we were able to get rid of, ie. couch, dressers, tables, chairs, outdoor furniture, there was the exercise bike. Now before we get any further... the current status of Sold vs. not sold will not be disclosed. BUT we did want to give an example of how awesome we were making these craigslist posts!!! READ ON:

Man exercise is a hard word to spell huh!? How many people guessed it correct without spellcheck? I'm guessing zero. Anyways, we got a good ecxersize bike here that we don't need anymore because we're moving into a van and driving around America. Maybe if it were a real bike we'd take it with us but alas it has no wheels. I wasn't sure which category to post this under because there were so many good choices but ultimately I decided to post it under bicycles because even though it doesn't take you anywhere geographically or literally speaking it takes you plenty of places emotionally and fitness wise. It's got all the sweet features a health conscious enthusiast like yourself might like such as programmable fitness sessions with different difficulty levels and a calorie burning read-ometer as well as an adjustable seat and the convenience of battery-operatedness! $40 or best offer, we just want it to go to a good home. Come over and try it out and if you're not 100% satisfied enough we'll give you your money back (assuming you gave us the money before taking the test ride) The black shoestring hanging off the right handlebar is a cat toy and IS NOT included! The carpet underneath the bike is negotiable.

We were able to make around $200 dollars give or take at the end of our Craigslisting adventures. The rest of our belongings we deemed "NOT GOOD ENOUGH" went on the side of the road for the Old North Enders to filter through and to our surprise the statement "one man's garbage is another man's gold" became VERY TRUE!
