Good Advice on Buying/Selling Used Bike Gear

Just read and agree with The Art of Buying and Selling Used Bikes and Components at Mountain Biking by 198

Summarized:
Where do I go to buy/sell used parts?
Typically, there are several places the eager buyer or seller goes to enter the used bike and parts market.

* Forum Classifieds (MTBR.com, Ridemonkey.com, local boards)
* Craigslist
* eBay

I Need to Sell!!
So you have a garage full of biking stuff and you need to get rid of it to fund a new project. There are a couple of things to keep in mind as you go about your journey as a bike and component broker.

I Need To Buy!!
In the market to upgrade your current sled and don’t want to pay taxes or for that pretty box it comes packaged in? Great…there are some incredible deals out there that will make your ride feel new again at the fraction of the cost of retail.

Alot more info on the link, give it a read and let them know you saw it here.
