Too funny! Amazing what you can figure out you can do without to pay off a bike! I keep wondering, what did I do with my money before I had a bike? Hope you enjoy it!

Do you have anything you are willing to part with and can sell on Craig's List??? Just a thought, but I've sold plenty of things on CL and relatively quickly. When I needed cash fast, I went on the items wanted page on CL and just looked through to see if I had anything that was wanted/needed...

ooooooo... pretty bike!!!! I think it looks so clean and sleek.
I, too, hated layaway when I was a kid. My first bike went on layaway... for 1 day until I got my husband to come down and fill out the application for the credit card with no interest for 6 months (my identity was stolen so I couldn't do it; long story).
We paid for it within 3 months. Just like layaway but without having to wait.Last edited by Tri Girl; 07-08-2009 at 06:07 AM.

Good for you for not putting it on credit. I am very impressed.
I am also a Craig's List seller. I have sold a bunch of things and bought a few. It has worked out well for me. Cash only and first one to buy it gets it. I won't hold things for people who never show up.

My first bike was on Layaway for four months or so. The bike cost lots more than I made in a month at the time!
Now I have a mountain bike on layaway and I expect it will take me a few months to bring home as well. Patience! Good things come to those who wait
