Goofy WORKS!!

For some bizarre reason everyone here today came in in a goofy mood. And it was a Swamped day!! Thank you all for your visiting and continuous support!
Lets get to the meat!
Sold the Jamis to a really cool guy buying it for his son and in trade we got a SWEET 2008 Trek 220 MT! It's in top notch condition and will make a transitional bike for some lucky person, because we got it for a VERY reasonable trade and it only needed a little work, so we are letting it go CHEAP!! Almost thought we had it sold this evening when a lovely young couple for her. She is a petite lass, but doesn't want to ride something that makes her look petite (AHHH, that explains why soccer moms drive Hummers! I get it!) As it turns out, it was just a little to short for her, but that's OK, 'cause they gave us one of the nicest compliments when they said they'd wait to see if we could find them something for her, rather then go ANYPLACE else! WOW! Thank you SO much for those kind words!
The Clutch BMX went out first thing to a sweet young man and his Mom, and he was QUITE excited about the buy! So glad we could be a part!
The Next BMX went out shortly there after to a wonderful set of parents for their son who also traded in a SWEET like New MTB! That one was bought at Christmas but there son preferred a BMX. Hey, that's cool with us!
And one of our regulars came in, (this will make his third bike with us) originally to repair or replace a rear 20" BMX wheel. As it turns out, WE ARE OUT (OMG!) of rear 20's (if any of you have some, we'll buy!) and when he found out that the sweet 20" Mongoose Outer limits was cheaper then buying a new rear wheel, he snatched it up! (smart man!)
And a very distinguished young Lady with an expert eye for the finer things in life walked out of here VERY happy after her purchase of Zombie-boys painstakingly refurbished Univega Metro 5 ladies bike ! I wish her the best as she'll be the talk of the trail on that gem!
And coming in at number 1 (with all due respect to everyone else) has to be George! and his lovely and undoubtedly VERY understanding and relaxed wife. George is now the proud owner of the Royce Union Big Boy, and I have to tell you I finally met my match! I never thought I would meet someone capable of being a bigger smart ass then me, but he did it! I am VERY proud and pleased to have met you sir! My hat's off to you! And I thank you very much for not sicking your ankle bitter on me! LOL!!
And, as always I thank each and every one of you for entrusting your re-pairs to us once again, and we are very happy to have gotten you back on the road quickly.
ON to the buys! Today was also an excellent day for procurements. The aforementioned Trek 220, and the Magna MTB, as well as a nice Ladies 26" single speed cruiser (never can have enough of those) 2 real sharp simple starter BMX's that look like they were hardly even ridden, a ladies 26" banger (on the rack now) and ANOTHER Vertical PK-7. An older model but a better looking one I think! And all but two are already out (I've been a busy little Bee!)
thanks to Momma from taking time out from the kiddo's to come in and give a hand, bringing Kaleb to do grunt work. And Matt has diligently been going away at his road bike re-paint that should (fingers crossed) be on the floor tomorrow!
So with that, I have to finish the Banger and boogie!
Peace!
