I think that is a good reminder for us all to avoid engaging in silly hyperbole and melodrama in the selling of our old goods. It is very easy to incorrectly prejudge a seller if we take his descriptive wording the wrong way. This fellow Mark probably was having some fun in trying to heighten the idea that this was a primo bike.. but his real end effect was negative, giving us the impression that he was a huckster at best and an uncommitted seller who might void the auction by pulling out early.
