Interesting thought. Im sure this is probably true on good bikes with good components, but MOST (this one being a rare exception) that I find are not name-brand or good bikes. Most are walmart brands (huffy, mongoose, kent, etc). Some times I get some nicer ones. Reguardless I have a "bike guy" who fixes and resells that I deal with.



He buys all the bikes off me, usually $10/bike, if its a nicer one, sometimes more. Sold one that was a "specialized" brand bike (with no chain or rear derailer) for $75, sold a few ones to hime for $30-50/each. But I just like that I can always count on this guy to take them all, even if I could get more selling individually. Its worth it for me to not have the hasle.... just text him when I have a truck full and we make a deal and exchange. He even gives me all the un-used/scrap bike/parts that he does need/want/ or cant sell.

I dont usually like reselling either so parting out isnt something I would probably want to spend time on.... usually I just want the stuff gone lol
