Has New Orleans legal tender converted to the Argen-
tinian Peso?

Surely, this Yamaha Venture owner can't believe this
bike is going to bring 26K American dollars? Regard-
less of what a "great deal" it is.

Maybe it's the extra strobe light additions that result
in the inflated price.

That must be a typo and should have been 16,000 and that's overpriced.

He got the mileage and price mixed up.

Maybe.... But, a review moments ago shows that the price
has declined to 22K, and the mileage shown as 12.66K.

Perhaps this is really a lot harder than I suspected. One
would have to record the price and mileage in separate
areas, and then correctly transcribe those values onto
the listing narrative.

This is probably something better left to a professional.

I suspect he's like many others right now, out of work and out of money
and hoping for a sucker with deep pockets. I've got a bunch of riding
friends scattered around the US and a good number of them are out of
work, scraping by on several part time jobs, etc. It's a sad situation
out there for many that work for a small business or happen to be self
employed. I'm guess this guy just joined the ranks and when there's no
paycheck coming in the bike is the first thing to go.
YMMV
