Economy hitting RRB?

[BrigmasterA]

So back this last summer and fall, one of my favorite things to do on this site was to log on and immediately go to Fresh Finds so I could admire/be jealous about all the sweet rides that my fellow ratters had picked up, and post picks of my own there once or twice a month. But lately it seems that not as many people have been posting new finds. Is this cuz of the economy, or just the winter blahs?

I'm guessing the cold weather.

I'm still waiting for everyone down here to start their Spring cleaning and garage sales.

Same here, yard sales, clean outs, don't start till April-May, That is when the Free-5-10 dollar bikes start appearing

Me too, except "up here".

Ok. I've noticed a distinct lack of stuff for sale on CL around here too. I mean there are bikes for sale, just not ones I want... So instead of bikes this winter I bought tools. A Hobart wirefeed welder, A sawzall, angle grinder, all sorts of stuff.

Weather hasnt been good enough to find more bikes, Or sell more bikes

The more i sell, the more i find
The more i find, the more i sell

well since the weather is starting to warm up I think you will see an increase in the amount of added content...
I just picked up a couple bikes I found on craigslist last night but haven't had the time to take pics and upload them, one I got a good deal
on is a Giant Dub kiddy choper with a nice tripple front end and 20x3 tires so the project I had in mind is now in the works.
I know the economy is sad in my area but what some people are still trying to get for their bikes is rediculous so I pass on most of what
I have been finding.
