I found an ad for an ATC110 this weekend. I corresponded back and forth and picked up the bike this morning. $150 and it's in very nice shape for the age. He hasn't used it in 4 years and the carb is gummed solid to the point where the thumb lever doesn't move. There's a split in the seat but the plastics aren't cracked, the tires are nice (front needs a tube) and the tank doesn't leak. The tool kit even looks to be complete. I'll get some pictures up in the morning. The guy said he had a pretty overwhelming response but nobody came forth with the cash. 3 hour roundtrip later and it's all mine.

Craigslists has done the same thing to me, more than once. Started with the intent of just "browsing", ending up driving to someone's house.

Here it is. I haven't had any time to work on it to get it running or clean it up. I'd like to have it ready for bow season tomorrow but it's unlikely that'll happen. The hole in the seat is a little bigger than I thought but it's nothing a little black duct tape can't cover until I buy a new cover. That being said, the tape will likely be a permanent solution. :P

If I want to stay out of trouble, I don't look at Craigslist.
However, when I do, I find some decent stuff.
