So far I have had absolute morons trying to buy my stuff off of Craigslist
and I suppose I will have to put them on eBay instead. I like the idea of
not having to pack and ship and worry about good delivery. But I don't
like some moron emailing me that he would offer 25% of the asking price.
I suggest the you raise your price to 4 times what you are currently
asking. Then, when some moron offers 25% of your new price, you
should have little difficulty accepting their offer.
My son did that with his Roubaix -- not four times the price, but he posted it on a local Craigslist-ish site in SLC for a reasonable price, and it didn't sell. He relisted it for more money, and it did sell -- at his original asking price. He tells me that Specialized sells well in the used market.. He got a really good price, but the bike had a lot of after-market stuff on it that he had accumulated from his jobs, like a Stages power meter and some pretty high-end disc wheels. I don't know what is deemed valuable in the used market, but its probably none of my bikes.
