There’s got to be a way to make use of the old stuff in a way that doesn’t pay the fees. You know, where it seems to be broken and thrown away, but it isn’t. pirate-jammin

I hope this makes less people buy used Pelotons which in turn makes Pelotons less desirable.

I certainly wouldn’t want to buy something like that which is guaranteed to be hard to sell later.
