Yeah, that "rare steal" ad has been up on CL for months. I still haven't figured out the "rare" part, or why it's a "steal". Maybe because he dropped the price by $5 from his original ad?

Everything in Western WA is a little out of control, price-wise. There are deals to be found if you're quick, but there are plenty of folks out there trying to get ridiculous dollars for a regular Sporty.

To put it in perspective, I paid less for my 07 including a bunch of nice/new aftermarket pieces at an H-D dealer this February.
