Just some old Elgin...i didn't get.

If this was even real, I must have missed it by minutes. I replied within 45mins! Can't get'em all.

It kind of looks legit with the background choice & that the bike needs work to get road worthy plus the way the fender is sitting on the front wheels . It looks like a fresh find .
Yikes if that was real..

A rare one, I'm guessing? Should have gone for much more than $350?

Let's just put it this way....if there was another zero at the end of that price, it STILL would have been a steal!

I think it was the same one I saw at the last Centralia Wa. swapmeet in back of a pickup? it was priced at $700. .. but couldn't find the seller ..left message but....

If it is real, it's enough to make a fella sick!!!!

Not going to lie, It looks real... I have mostly every bluebird picture out there and I have never seen any of those three. that thing must have gone quick. although, the patina looks slightly familiar on that bird. ill do some digging.

Nick.

found her, its a tease (scam) or just gloating lol btw I figured it was a fake after I posted that realizing that without the fender ornament there is no location on the bike that says (ELGIN)

You can't fool Nick! One of the most skilled pickers on this site, in my humble opinion. Gary

NICE Nick!! Your sleuthing is unparalleled ~ The ad was up then went away quick with no reply. I sent a msg before it was gone asking if the seller would let me know if it had sold or not. usually ppl who are legit will drop you a line letting you know something sold.

SMART! I missed that.

Actually, its Nick's picture Photoshopped into someone's kitchen!

Might be the same bike? But not the same picture. Front fender isn't attached and the crank arm is at a different angle. There is a person here in Portland who caught me with one of his spoof ads like this. Maybe it's the same guy.

 

[heyslugger]

the pattern of the rust on the 'tank' is the same. same bike for sure. No go ride your corvette! ha! What was the spoof ad that got you, D?

It was for "Grandpa's Old Bike $50". It was a Harley Davidson Bicycle. I don't know who was selling it, but he got me good.
I like the new Corvette, It's cleaning up GREAT! I think new handlebars will solve the problem, so it will be a keeper. Thanks again, always a pleasure dealing with you!

 

[Nickinator]

I still don't have any of those three pictures, who ever did it was good. and thanks gary that means a lot to me.

Such a cruel joke. Probably one of the most beautiful bikes ever produced in my opinion though.
