I always find it interesting when people sell an item on ebay and then are "out of town" during the auction. Recently I emailed several people concerning some bikes up for auction. Out of 5 questions...I got one response. I received two others later after the auction was over. They were "out of town". sometimes I wonder if it is done out of convenience because there may be too many questions rolling in and they are just plain tired of them all or maybe they don't know the answers. All I know is I have had to pass on several bikes because I figure, if they can't answer, I am not going to risk it.
