Like many here I spend a lot of time on CL and would like to share my accrued wisdom. Please feel free to add on and fix what I may have misinterpreted.
"Runs great" – runs
"Fresh top end" – someone put a piston in this thing
"Oil changed every ride" – right
"Tons of compression" – I never checked it
"Well maintained" – washed once
"Vintage" – I want more than it is worth
"No Price Listed" – I want more than it is worth
"Really nice shape" – nothing has fallen off yet
"Rare" – see vintage
"All Caps" – the last time I typed was on a typewriter in 76
"Custom" – really ugly – used to be a good looking bike
"Ran great last season" – your turn to get it going
"Blurry/dark photos" - you don't want to buy this
