Seems I already broke the rules by buying sight unseen from a facebook barter site. I got a Cardinal about 12', may be a Love Bird. I bought it from 1500 miles away and had a relative who lived close, pick it up. The seller said $200, there were others interested so I offered more, but she said "I won't take more than $200. That's all it's worth" The relative said "I got what I paid for". Time will tell. I won't even get to see it until next spring. I will post a pic or two later.

I bought mine sight unseen, too. It's not always a bad thing, especially since you are only risking $200. Good luck, and let us know how it goes.

I agree. $200 is not too much to take a chance. The person you bought it from sounds like a nice person to deal with also LOL... Can't wait to see what you got. It's the more expensive purchases that you need to be careful about. Welcome to the board fbb. |

Post those pics soon. We're all drooling whilst waiting to see your bargain. And heck, $200, even if you only get a metal frame, axle and templates for everything else, it's worth it!

Wow! I say you got a deal, even if you rebuild every inch of it! Looks a lot better than what I paid a whole lot more for!!

Looks a lot like my Birdie! She was a 64, not sure about the Lovebird part...   |
