Joe, You have a very cool bike that is not very common. I cannot say what the "right" price is, but there are a few ways to improve your chance of selling it:
1. Make the bike look its best. Give it a good wash and pump up the tires. A bike with flat tires looks like a neglected bike. If you do not have time or the expertise, offer a kid in the neighborhood $25 to "make it shine." 2. Show off the bike. Take more pictures, showing off any bright (or dull) spots 3. Tell us about the bike. List the major components, especially those different from stock 4. Grow your potential market: be open to shipping. Call around to a few local bike shops and say "how much would it cost to box up a bike and have it ready for bike flights to pick it up?" You can add that to the cost, or split it with the buyer. Check out bike flights and familiarize yourself with the process. Best of luck, Edwin On Sunday, December 17, 2023 at 12:19:00 PM UTC-6 joe kelly wrote: > Bumping this.
