I Sold My Bikes For $0 On Facebook Marketplace

- I listed two of my mountain bikes on Facebook marketplace, scheduled meetups, and then didn’t let the buyers pay! Both mountain bikes were “high-end” Walmart bikes that we added tons of upgrades to.

We need more Cody’s in the world. That young man was raised right. Sweet gifts Seth. Why you’re one of my favorite Mtn bike channels.
I felt bad for Cody. Dude genuinely wanted to put some skin in the game. Seth should have let him pay at least $100.
I think they aren't gifts in as much as investments in future MTB stewardship.
What we really need is more Cody's parents in this world
respectfully, Cody has similar vibes/mannerisms to sheldon's brother from young sheldon. 😇
Agreed 💯!!!
honestly the smirk on Cody's buddies face when Seth said he would drive away he knew Cody didn't have the heart to take anything for free
lol I noticed that too ... Lotta guys my age criticize these kids for being lazy, but at least in my own little world that's not what I see. Cody is a perfect example (and excellent choice is recipient).
Cody is a good example of "the ideal person"
This is the kind of content that makes seth the best! He gives back so much to the community
And for the views 😅
@@kris8165which is the reason he has the ability to give things away for free? Always some with y’all
Cody seems like a hardworking young man. And the kid saving his money is awesome. I ran into a young kid at my local trails who had saved his lawn mowing money and bought a Polygon Sisku. I told his dad he had a real great kid! Enjoy!
scaming the buyers by refusing payment.. best kind of scamming 😂
@Juann-ci5vh That's the joke
I loved Cody and his reaction. That young man knows how hard it is to earn a dollar and the value of that dollar and him having pride in buying his own things...that just made all the difference. Thanks Seth for helping this young man out. Not saying anything against the other boy...but the gratitude was clearly visible on Cody.
Cody is a stand up dude💯
I appreciate it
Hey Seth this is Daniel so happy to see you helping others just like you helped us out God bless you and your family
I can appreciate your motivation, Seth. I gave bikes to my best employees when they were leaving (for positive reasons like graduate school, marriage, etc.), and it was worth the look on their faces when they found them at their desks! I'm retired now, but Cody and Blaine remind me of those gems, the rare truly deserving ones. Keep up the good work!
Both kids were very deserving of the bikes! This is why I watch Berm Peak
I'm from Bulgaria, love your videos, learn a lot from it, I'm trying to do good wherever possible, but gestures like that melt my heart. I wish you all the best, Seth!
A real tear jerker. Helping and making others dreams come true. Thank you
You're a good man, Seth. Passing it on is what more of this world needs. More Cody's and Lane's. Now both of these fine youngsters have capable bikes and money in their pockets to buy proper safety gear to enjoy those bikes. I'd both of their parents raised them right. Earn it.
Any money spent on a helmet is always money well spent!!
Shout out to Cody, that's an awesome attitude. He's going places!
Yeah, into the woods on a bike.
You keep reminding me of why I love this channel! Keep being awesome Seth!
the thumbnail was lit🤣
Dang Seth! You got me all choked up. Keep doing you, man. You rock. God bless ya’ll.
I like this. We need more kids doing their own maintenance.
My dad used to get upset, opening the garage door when he wanted to park his truck, me not realizing it was already 6pm+ while my BMX bike was in pieces on rainy evenings in Oregon.
Being able to take something apart and build it back up cleaner, better, faster; is a skill you can carry throughout your life.
Not just with bikes.
I was inspired by your videos on putting these bikes together as well as your flip bike episodes to take up bike maintenance and modding as a hobby. Awesome thing you did for these kids!! We need more people like Cody, but we also need more people like you Seth. You rock!
8:25 the dog in the background is a star! 😅
Sorry, I couldn't resist, love the video
Saw the same thing, lol 🤣
Beat me to it!
You're a good man, Seth. I started watching your videos some years ago (your channel had a different name back then) and among the first videos was when you did up a bike and gave it away to a boy about 12 who spent his spare time doing up bikes in a charity workshop. They'd put bikes together into rideable shape and give them to those who couldn't afford to buy one. I can even remember his reaction when he took the bike out of the box. He just stood there with his mouth open, pointed to himself, and managed to say, 'Words aren't working'. It was your kindness that got me to subscribe. Your kindness continues.
This has to be the best bike video I have ever seen. So emotional. In today's environment, where it seems the majority feels they should get everything for little or nothing. To do this, Mr. Alvo is nothing short of spectacular. I will think often of what you did for these deserving young men with great pleasure.
Also, a shout-out to the parents of these young men, who brought them up right.
You, sir, are the salt of the earth, anyone calling you a friend has something worth more than gold and silver.
I wish you nothing but the best.
Billy
I have a feeling those two bikes will last forever through the wonderful care and protection of both these young men. Good job Mr Berm Peak.
Cody's a good guy. On the plus side, he's got plenty of cash on hand to get all the tools he needs and maybe even a tailgate cover! Always appreciate what you do for the community, Seth.
what a bloody good kid. Cody's a legend.
I love it! Those two youngsters are great kids. Honor hard work and resourcefulness.
Didn’t expect to be so touched by this vid… ur a great dude Seth.
Glad you found good matches for both!
That’s what makes the community awesome.
As a near 60 year old FloridaCarolinian who loves mountain biking, I want to be Seth when I grow up! Heck of a great thing to do Seth. I’m sure those boys will learn from your kindness…even though they already seem like great kids!
5:40 that’s a standup dude
I recently gotten back into biking, I have an old mountain bike I used for commuting to and from college, but over the past few years i had collected dust and rust, as i wasn't good at maintaining it. Thanks to these videos I have learned a lot about maintaining and repairing my old bike, Took me a couple of weeks and a few new parts, but I finally got it working to a point that it again can take me to and from work, as well as riding the local trails. Still got some work to do on it to get it into top shape, but it has been a great project to tinker with during my free time!
Thank you for making these amazing videos and I hope you keep up the good work!
Faith in humanity restored, both from your generosity, and the work ethic of the new owners 🙂
Today's my birthday so I'm considering all of these (including the video) as presents. Thank you, Seth for making me smile and helping get my week started off on the happy side.
Cody is a proper country boy raised right. Great video Seth!
I was recently talked into buying my 9yo son his first mountain bike.. I assumed that he would just ride it around the neighborhood and be happy. however, he found out that we have an MTB trail in our town that the local bike shop helped build with the city. I have taken him there a few different time and he loves it he plays around in the trail head and hits a few of the little features and pump track. He did some searching and found that the trail is about 3 miles long and now is pressing me to get one with him so he can explore more of it because right now I just walk with him. I left my job about 1.5 years ago to start my own business and it was hard enough getting him his bike let alone one for myself. I think I have settled on the Ozark trail even though I would have had the money 2 years ago to buy whatever I wanted at the local bike shop. I am going to swallow my pride, buy the Walmart bike and enjoy his new found love. I am looking forward to spending more time with him and having fun on the trails. Thank you for making these videos and helping me realize that you don’t need to spend 5k on a bike.
Thank you for giving back to some deserving young folks. It would be interesting to hear from them in 6 months or a year to see where the bikes have taken them.
Really cool that the younger boy recognized the bike from your videos. Speaks volumes about the merit of your family friendly content generating enthusiasm in today’s youth.
The money you saved Cody he can spend on some proper gear or tools. Great job Seth! I’m a new viewer, but your channel is quickly becoming my favorite on UA-cam. Thanks for everything you do, man.
I love it, Seth! Seeing people do good for others is in short supply. I think it happens more than we know but seeing those kids' faces is just awesome. Makes folks want to pay it forward as it should!
I got tears in my eyes when Cody refused to take it for free. I wish good things will come his way. Thank you Seth for making it right for these young dudes. Love from Turkey! 🤝
Major props to you, Seth. Best thing I learned from your channel is that you don’t need to have everything under the sun to make a bike work. I have a hardtail that I’ve beaten, abused, butchered, and hacked all sorts of upgrades over the last 4 years. I finally got a new bike, so I’ll be retiring my hardtail within the next year or two. I’ll probably do something like this.
yooooooo fire video! its been a long time since ive watched your channel. I was like 11 or 12 when I first saw it. Im living the mtb dream, I got my first *good* mtb last summer, im on a really fun mtb team, and I just got my first GoPro to document my rides! UA-camrs like you, singletracksampler, and a ton of others have inspired me ever since I saw my first mtb video. Tanks so much man!
What GREAT KIDS (both of them).
This video made me feel good.
Thanks.
I was that boy who saved money for his bike from yard work 30 years ago 😁. I got a used bianchi ocelot mountain bike. I thought it was the stuff. I still have it to this day. Love you videos. Thank you!
Cody is a really great guy! You should ride with him and teach him the ropes and make videos. Love that you did this❤
With bike prices the way they are, I love to see stuff like this. A lot of people interested in riding are simply priced out.
You sir are a true honor to watch which is why your channel is one that I don't mind my kids ages 6,7,8,11,14 to watch. Always good clean content.
Cody is a man with solid character. For sure has the right attitude to do very well at whatever he wants to in life.
You're a good man Seth! And you managed to find two very deserving, hard working, gracious and thankful young men. Great video. Can't wait for the next one!
Cody. What a legend. That kid’s going places.
We need some more building content that has been all my inspiration I also bought some merch
Seth, you are a class act my man! Thank you for your content, and being a great example to others.
Seth you're a legend for this video. Think the only one that can beat you is Cody, raised right that kid is going to make waves in this world everywhere he goes...... Ride on everyone and pass it on............
Love these videos. This is what keeps the sport going for the next generations! Thank you for continuing to be an ambassador for the sport.
Damn, videos like these. They remind me why I subscribed to this channel. I just got my first 200km on my bike, which I bought thanks to your videos.
you !!!! ARE a goofffy,,, smart,,,, AND 1 VERY KIND PERSON... love your channel.........thank you
Wow. Wow. Wow. The fact that there are young men like Cody still being raised out there gives me hope.
Seth you're definitely the king and the father of the mtb community, thank you for many years of joy and experience and everything you do for all of us, much appreciated. looking forward for many more
Good job Seth, that was a super nice thing to do. Watching your videos got me back into mtb after 20years of not riding. Keep up the great videos!
This video gives me hope, wowsa. Kids raised right. Cody better run for president someday.
you're a good dude. when I ran a skate shop I gave away so much gear, there's nothing like providing someone with what they need
These two bikes were some of my favorite videos on Berm Peak. It brought me back to the google old days when Seth was riding mongoose bikes into the ocean. Hoping we see more videos like these in the future!
Great job Seth! I love seeing these sorts of stories.
You are a great person! I hope Cody pays it forward! What a great young adult! And, that Lane is a great kid too! They both worked hard to save to buy these bikes. I hope Lane pays it forward also.
Oscar is always a bonus in your videos! He cracks me up! Good job on paying it forward for these two young men.
It's really great you gave the bikes to young guys that have a positive work ethic and know you have to put in time to earn things. I think the guys will remember this for the rest of their lives and will give back to others.
Awesome! Good for you Seth, I've never given away any bikes but I've got a decent parts bin and I've given away or sold ultra cheap to people to help them out. I like to pay it forward, I'm pretty lucky to be where I'm at in life and it feels good to give back.
Very cool Seth!! Good kids, they deserve it!
When i was 11 my uncle gave me my first real mtb. 2001 kona cinder cone parts bin special! It changed my life. My mom was single and not working, no way i would have got a mtb if it wasnt for that. This spring i got my buddys son a used 2020 rocky mtn soul with a dropper for his 12th b day. I showed him how to fix it up and we put a rock shox judy on it. Pass the torch!
Great job Seth! An act of kindness like this will go a long way and I’m sure produce much fruit in the future.
Both guys have it all and surely will enjoy the bike! You are kind man, mate.
I got Mongoose Switchback 2020 and recently upgraded with Shimano CUES U6000 10-speed groupset (originally Tourney XT 3x7 speed), MT200 hydraulic brakes (originally mech brakes), EXA Form 900i dropper and installed SR Suntour XCR32 RLR air fork. For all these I paid under $350 and ~$90 servicing (in Moscow, Russia). Think I am good to go for another 3 years. :)
Cody is going to go far in life. Well done Seth.
HE🏒🏒 YES! Cody is the man, nice job Seth! What you did for both those kids was a selfless act of kindness and you just hooked 2 bikers for life!!,
Seth this is AMAZING!!! I would've loved either one of these bikes. I lost my Kent trouvaille in a house fire & red cross replaced it with an Ozark but I gave that to my son cuz he needed a new bike, his was an old handmedown that finally gave up on him. Wish more people were generous like you🤘😁
There you go, for me best video I've seen this year.
That’s very cool that you gave it to him for free. You are a good dude.
Thanks Seth for motivating me to build my 9x2mtb from scratch including the wheels with minimal tools.
This was too sweet. You set the right kind of example in this community, man
seth you found the right person ,for the first bike and I'm writing it while he is loading up the bike on his van ...great work
Both of these lads have a bright future. Thank you for doing this, Seth, and for sharing it with us!
That was cool. You found the perfect people to give these bikes to. Class act. Love it.
You found some great boys that deserved your generosity! Well done Seth!
I watch most of your stuff Seth but rarely comment... just want to acknowledge how heartwarming this is and it's proper top notch! Good on ya! Cheers
This video restores my faith in humanity. Great job, Seth.
Love the dogs photo bomb in 8 minutes and 30 something seconds! I'm not even done with the video yet.😂 love your content .
My goodness needed more people like in this YT content. FAITH IN HUMANITY RESTORED ❤❤❤
Love everything about this. You are generous and you rep the bike community in the best way!
Great video. Both are deserving individuals. You can tell it pained Cody to take what he considered to be charity. And Lane worked hard to save money to buy his own bike. Well done everyone.
Kudos to you for such a great idea. We need more people like you in our world today!
You're on a $0.00 kick for the betterment of MTB in general, recently. Or not recently, since Berm Park and Chestnut cost an equivalent amount. Thanks for all your efforts to make MTB accessible for as many people as possible!
Right bloke ! Good work ! 2nd kid top stuff too ! We need more kids like this !
Such a wonderful thing to do. And I know it gave you joy to do this.I used to live in AVL. I moved to Colorado in 2014. Lot's of memories of Pisgah and Dupont.
❤ thanks for building up even more of this community!
Cody.... walking, and now riding life, on the good path. Keep your morals true and you'll win at life, young man. Welcome to the MTB family.
Lane.... You are the future of this sport. Us old dogs feel good knowing groms like you are taking over.
Seth.... As always.... Showing how community is done right. You continue to be an amazing ambassador of the MTB lifestyle. We are all better for it.
I am from the Philippines i watch you in youtube everytime i'm free from work. I am 57yo a retired govt employee here in the Philippines ang avid fatbike and mtb owner(norco,mongoose) but i sold already.
This episode makes me want to cry! What a wonderful world it is. Great job!
That was so nice of you giving those bikes for free.I wish there will be a lot of nice people in the world like you.May the lord God shower you with his blessings.Keep it up and Godbless.
Two very deserving young men. Great work Seth.
Something different and love it. Hope these kids get into this great hobby and love it as much as the rest of us. Cody had a great attitude about the whole thing. It would be funny if you run into these kids one day while out on the trails.
Great stuff, Seth. Seriously top notch. The pay it forward mentality of the MTB world is just one of the many reasons I love it. Cheers.
