Couple of questions

[Magneto]

Hey guys, I have a few questions that I’m not sure are appropriate for this forum, so if they’re not feel free to remove. Here goes:

In 2001 I purchased a Cannondale F600 mountain bike and had all sorts of plans for riding and trips etc. Very shortly after I bought it I severely sprained my back and tore my knee all in the same event. Long story short, my back and my knee have never been the same and riding just isn’t going to work. So, I have this bike that has been ridden exactly 2 times and is still in brand new condition. My questions are these: what do you all think this bike is worth at this point? (retail was roughly $1500) I’m not interested in hsolist as shipping or more specifically packing seems truly problematic. Do any of you know of a place were I could list it that would serve the Twin Cities metro area so that I could deliver, or someone could pick it up? (bike is in Hudson WI)

Your advice on where and how to begin would be greatly appreciated.

you can list it here for a small fee, I've successfully sold a couple things from this site!! you can always put it on hsolist and list it as "pickup only" then you don't need to worry about shipping. generally when you are selling a used bike, you are shooting to get about half of what you have in it, maybe a little less. it's always hard selling used stuff that is like new!! good luck!!

Sorry you can't ride any longer Magneto, that's a bummer.

I would suggest you list it on hsolist for the Minneapois/St.Paul area. The listings are free. Just google hsolist and you will find it.

Bikes are a bit like cars in that they can depreciate right off the lot. Just make sure that you mention how little it was ridden, and include the what type of componentry is on the bike and you will be o.k.

Listing it here is a great option. The mebership here is huge and the numbers of trollers is even bigger. For a very small fee you get a lot of exposure on this site. Just check the for sale forums to see how much activity there is. I've sold everything from electronics to truck tires.
