I'm bike shopping and came across these:
There are a dozen of them, all with less than 1 mile on the odometer and deeply discounted.
Anyone have any experience with ordering pre-owned from them? Seems like a sweetheart of a deal to me for basically brand new bikes with the 30 day no hassle returns if I'm not happy?

I bought a Fuel EX8 demo bike from a shop in late 2018 ish. Few scratches here and there. Nothing crazy. Still have it with no issues but needing tires. It was over 30% off so I could settle for some scratches.
I’d probably take my chances at that discount and use it as much as possible in 30 days to shake it down.
Loving my Gen 6 Slash that was marked down over $2,000. I had the bike shipped to a local FedEx store. They weren’t pleased by Lithium batteries inside, but took it anyway. It’s been good so far. 🤷♂️
I bought a used Top Fuel 7 off their website, arrived at my doorstep like 2 days later. Definitely worth the savings and I would certainly do it again. Still comes with a full warranty too
Wtf, TREK is smoking crack on this one

Just bought a Remedy via red barn. Pretty happy with quality after building it up. Seems like these bikes weren’t just some Joe-shmo bikes but maybe employee owned or employee fleet bikes. The 30 day trial along with lifetime warranty is reassuring that they’re not some clapped out trash.
