About thirty years back, a chap at work was selling his 3 speed Universal bike (Polish built). He only wanted £15 for it. He bought it in one day , I duly paid him.
It looked ok on first inspection, until I went to ride it home. It wouldn't go in a straight line. On a very close inspection there was a crease in the downtube, and the forks were very slightly bent. He denied it had been crashed.
I used it as a doner bike for another one, but in reality it was £15 badly spent. He left work soon after.
