I was surprised to see how few local to me on ebay.

Old bikes don't seem to sell well on eBay - I've seen a few starting at
under a fiver that would have made great commuters or winter hacks but
didn't get any bids. It's probably just as well that they weren't near
me, or I'd have a few more bikes that don't get ridden enough.
