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.

[@Durwood71]

I felt bad for Cody. Dude genuinely wanted to put some skin in the game. Seth should have let him pay at least $100.

[@plokmko0]

I think they aren't gifts in as much as investments in future MTB stewardship.

[@UncleChester]

What we really need is more Cody's parents in this world

[@nugudave]

respectfully, Cody has similar vibes/mannerisms to sheldon's brother from young sheldon. 😇

[@mds1422]

Agreed 💯!!!

[@Joealblas]

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

[@topspot4834]

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).

[@GavinBayley]

Cody is a good example of "the ideal person"

[@Duncan23]

This is the kind of content that makes seth the best! He gives back so much to the community

[@kris8165]

And for the views 😅

[@Kenny_2283]

@@kris8165which is the reason he has the ability to give things away for free? Always some with y’all

[@johndef5075]

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!

[@ozabid]

Both kids were very deserving of the bikes! This is why I watch Berm Peak

[@-Lugh-]

Cody is a stand up dude💯

[@thelongbeardmafia2109]

I appreciate it

[@Ceriva09]

scaming the buyers by refusing payment.. best kind of scamming 😂

[@Juann-ci5vh]

Not the definition on scamming 😂😂

[@Juann-ci5vh]

Not what scamming mean 😂

[@Vastafari34]

Flip bike is by far the best thing I've ever seen, I can't get enough.I learn so much, more than any other "how to" tutorials. AND, it's super entertaining. Please do more!

[@gaming_halityt4149]

I aswell learn lot from it thanks Seth

[@Running_with_Faith]

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.

[@Danielkarpenkoflight_]

Hey Seth this is Daniel so happy to see you helping others just like you helped us out God bless you and your family

[@midwestjuan2263]

Those kids will talking about this forever! 🙌🏽 you gatta a big heart man.

[@stujm8376]

That’s the spirit of mtb, good people helping each other out. Keep up with the projects Seth, I’ve learnt a lot from watching your vids.

[@sadammtb8107]

the thumbnail was lit🤣

[@johnholloway691]

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!

[@SoulDevider]

A real tear jerker. Helping and making others dreams come true. Thank you

[@Wynn96]

Shout out to Cody, that's an awesome attitude. He's going places!

[@riccochet704]

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.

[@jggo9121]

You are a gem Seth - I’ve got 2 bikes of my own to unload and I am going to follow your lead on them!

[@Mitaxbg]

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!

[@andrew86fl]

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.

[@freestatehomestead]

You keep reminding me of why I love this channel! Keep being awesome Seth!

[@BUILDYBUNCH]

Well deserved! Hard-working young men getting a break 🎉

[@Westsidedirt]

Dang Seth! You got me all choked up. Keep doing you, man. You rock. God bless ya’ll.

[@ChopeZzz]

8:25 the dog in the background is a star! 😅 Sorry, I couldn't resist, love the video

[@grantschoen1726]

Saw the same thing, lol 🤣

[@oldman-fitness]

Beat me to it!

[@colinandersen408]

Both of these hard working, respectful young men are very refreshing to see in today's times, and I am glad that these bikes went to them.

[@billylehoux2743]

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

[@Kim_Miller]

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.

[@donaldoutterson3071]

I belong to a bike Co-op that gives away bikes to anyone 16 and under and teaches the rest how to set up and fix their bike at reduced costs. I pick up nice used bikes in the suburbs and donate them to the co-op on the weekends. The smile of joy and freedom on the children's faces is priceless. It is also a great to pick up parts for repairs and upgrades. Keep up the good work.

[@TheArimatheus]

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.

[@erikschuddeboom3223]

That’s what makes the community awesome.

[@_TP864]

You’re the man bro and I appreciate your content. Thanks for helping the mountain bike community in so many ways. You made those kids entire year!

[@ashurany]

I gotta say, Seth, that when a 13yo boy and a 55yo man (me) and all ages in between can learn from your content, you're doing something right. And great on you and both Cody and Lane.

[@Rickmakes]

Glad you found good matches for both!

[@tallcip65]

Cody restored my faith in humanity and young people in general. If you have teenage kids show them this video. If nothing else it will plant that seed in their brains that doing the right thing is the right thing.

[@hockysa]

what a bloody good kid. Cody's a legend.

[@audionerdio]

Great couple of kids. Thank you Seth for giving the bikes and giving us great & uplifting content.

[@beaublessing4766]

Cutting lawns is how I bought my first bike as well, a Trek 4900 from Criterium in 2003. I rode that thing into the ground and rebuilt it for a coworkers kid :)

[@clearlyabot]

❤ thanks for building up even more of this community!

[@kelvinjayjohnston4628]

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.

[@evanwortley5285]

Didn’t expect to be so touched by this vid… ur a great dude Seth.

[@jjonesmtb]

Proud of you Seth! Thank you for giving to the community!!!

[@joachimb4321]

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!

[@gjh_MTBs]

This was too sweet. You set the right kind of example in this community, man

[@brianshelford2099]

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!

[@williamstapleton2696]

Seth, absolutely awesome thing to do! Thanks for what you do. I always love watching you make the world a better place. Ride on!

[@MrHeisenb3rg]

It’s always nice to see the Cody’s of the world. It’s easier to focus on the bad stuff, but there are Cody’s all over the place.

[@melwestlake8539]

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!

[@12Bravojeepstuff]

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!

[@jimbodini100]

So nice of you Seth !!

[@USA__WILL]

I never take anything for free either. Good morals and ethics on that young man. The feeling of earning something with hard work is priceless. Go Cody!!

[@j95svt]

Man, I love what you did here. I appreciate all the videos and your channel is by far my favorite MTB channel. I have learned most of what I know about mtb's from it being pretty new to them. I picked up used bikes for my family and learning from your vids as well as some ithers I have fixed most of the small problems and even just done my first major upgrade to a 1x11 deore m5100 drivetrain to a bike that originally had a 3x7 setup

[@xgymratx83]

Love everything about this. You are generous and you rep the bike community in the best way!

[@xavierhulbert5849]

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.

[@GaryJ188]

You found some great boys that deserved your generosity! Well done Seth!

[@seannatorske4298]

Coolest BermPeak video yet! Thank you

[@jonedmondo8806]

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.

[@Wumbo_the_Mumbo]

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.

[@peterbrockman161]

I really enjoyed this episode of your channel Seth. Seeing the looks on the new owners of those two bikes really was uplifting. You are a top man Seth. Thanks.

[@paulmarso1220]

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!!,

Kudos to you for such a great idea. We need more people like you in our world today!

[@justincapek1132]

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.

[@dadfixdit]

Great job Seth! An act of kindness like this will go a long way and I’m sure produce much fruit in the future.

[@J-h0n]

Nice one Seth. It's refreshing to see a youtuber giving back in a genuine way, not just to make views. Glad these decent hard working boys have themselves a great bike to get into the sport too.

[@TD-3269]

Oscar is always a bonus in your videos! He cracks me up! Good job on paying it forward for these two young men.

[@In_MT]

Faith in humanity restored, both from your generosity, and the work ethic of the new owners 🙂

[@donaldlund7938]

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.

[@bfp_manny1965]

These are the right people for this. Awesome experience man

[@victor.randolph]

Seth, you are a class act my man! Thank you for your content, and being a great example to others.

This was so awesome I had to watch on two channels to double-like. Your content is pure and great to watch. Thank you.

[@chris4536]

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

[@lifeathand1062]

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.

[@cosmicbackwoods]

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

[@adamgrable3944]

I really like what you do! I myself learned SO MUCH like Lane from you. Thank you so much!

[@ThE0iLg0aT]

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!

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.
