Rules for buying:


Shipping:

Shipping costs are the buyers responsibility but I will work out the details with your shipper to load the bike up. I highly recommend Keyboard Transports 100%.



Bike is sold "As Is" and "Where Is". No warranty expressed or implied obviously BUT if you are in the area you are welcome and encouraged to come and physically inspect it anytime you like. I'm not an expert on these things so PLEASE ask anything anytime. I'm happy to answer. 

Nothing to hide here.


Paying:

1) CASH IN HAND IS KING and I prefer handshake, FACE-TO-FACE transactions.

2) BANK TO BANK WIRE 

3) CASHIERS' CHECKS 


PAYPAL IS NOT PREFERRED! I DO NOT LIKE PAYPAL AND I THINK THEIR FEES ARE OUTRAGEOUS! 

HOWEVER IF YOU WANT TO USE PAYPAL,YOU WILL HAVE TO BE LIABLE FOR THE EXTRA FEES. SORRY...BUT IT'S JUST RIDICULOUS WHAT THEY CHARGE FOR BASICALLY DOING NOTHING.

One Week tells the story of Ben Tyler (Joshua Jackson), in his mid-twenties, who flees from the confines of his life—an impending marriage, a job he’s not entirely happy with and a recent diagnosis—in order to attempt to live more fully.
