I want to sell 20 fixie bicycles

Hi my name is Dat, and I was a really lazy Californian for a long time. Then one day I decided to do something that would benefit myself and my uncle. See my uncle owns a bicycle business at the San Fernando Swap Meet. He has been selling bicycles there before I was born. His business has been going strong for 29 years. However due to the economy and high unemployment, his business is not doing so well. So when he decided to stock his inventory with fixed gear (aka fixies) micargi bicycles, he asked if I could help him sell theses bikes and make them look hip. At this point my uncle's business did not have a website or any form of advertising and this was due to his lack of knowledge of computers. So with the little amount of pay I got every weekend from working with my uncle, I decided to build a website www.lusbikes.com, design a logo, post a lot of ads on Craigslist, drive as many people to the site by registering it to as many search engines, and participating in as many bicycle forums as possible. Before I put the pictures of these bikes on the internet, I wanted to give people such a great deal that they could not resist. I researched different prices on Craigslist for the same Micargi fixed gear bikes, droppped the price very low, and gave customers a choice of customizing their bikes a bit by choosing any color tires, grips, chains, and seats, all for the price of $260; including free labor. After all of this hard work, a customer called me because she was interested in buying one of the bikes that I had posted on Craigslist. Before I sold that fixie bike to her, I took a picture of it and posted it on Craigslist, and then another customer wanted a similar bike, however they wanted their bike to be a little different. Now I have sold my 5th bike and hoping to sell the 6th tomorrow.

Tuesday 4pm

Alright just got back from the swap meet today and sold two fixies, So that means I'm up at 7 total. if your curious to which one I sold; It was the white micargi green one, and a red micargi stock one with red front tires.

It has been a week since I posted this hub. Today I drove all the way to Huntington beach (50miles away) to deliver a pink and white Micargi fixie bike. The fella was nice enough to pay me $30 for gas when I only asked for $20. I have sold a total of 10 Micargi bikes so far. Wish me good luck as I strive to sell 20.

MY 16TH BIKE! Saturday July 10th 6:21am

Yesterday I sold another white and pink micargi that makes it my 16th bike. I'm so close. The customer wanted all the sticker to be removed. This bike also features a pair of pink pedals and a beautiful white chain.

My 17th, 18th, and 19th Bikes Saturday July 10th 7:56pm

Sometime this morning at 10am to 2:30pm, I sold 3 Fixie Micargi bikes. This is really exciting news for me because I am now only one bicycle away from completing my goal of selling 20 Micargi Fixies. I will most definitely sell my 20th bicycle tomorrow. Wish me luck!

My 20th Fixie sold Sunday July 11th 5:23pm
