    Old 10 Speed Bikes

    Man people are stupid! Sorry not nice just an observation. I just sold my 7th old ten speed I picked up from someones house who called to have junk hauled. Those things sell like hot cakes to the local university kids. It doesn't take much effort to sell them on CL! Actually bikes in general sell good.

    Oh I know that for sure. I pick up bikes on nightly curbico runnings along with the other stuff they leave for us, and bikes go like hot cakes for a lot better than shred.

    Good for you. What's been the average selling price for these gems?

    If its a decent shape bike, I can get $50-$75 pretty easy. I had one two kids wanted I sold for $135. They love them to ride on campus.
