So, my neighbor (that I don't know) is moving (so I don't know the story)and apparently wants to get rid of her stuff and has a sign posted selling a ton of stuff. I of course immediately zoned in on the $25 treadmill. Can I pass up a $25 treadmill? what kind of junk is it? She says it works and she uses it all the time (I didn't ask walking or running). I'm going to see it tonight...what should I look for here? is this really stupid or the best deal evah?


And, will the downstairs neighbor start leaving flaming bags of poo if I run on it?

help a friend out here.

most likely it's a deal. Haveing just ha d a garage sale this past weekend, I can honestly say, she will probably give it away to have someone carry it out so she does not have to do it herself.

I wish I were there.

I could tell you right away if you're getting a deal or not with all the time I spend on them. It'd take one step, I'm sure.

In high school I used to run on my parents' very cheap sears made-for-walking treadmill. I ran it into the ground, wore the belt and motor out and everything but I was able to run on it. but it was LOUD. Which, brings up the downstairs neighbor again...

I guess for $25 it can't be bad.

Is it worth $25 to get evicted from your apartment?

This is what it seems like. Her sign basically details everything she owns. Bed, sofa, love seat, tables, chairs...

AT least go have a look at it. My sister got a brand new stair climber for $40, so you could get lucky!
