Yes, I guess there are more eyeballs watching but frame prices seem depressed on ebay (which I should probably take as a warning sign.)
All I know is that I would not have a prayer of selling 20 higher end frames locally, zero chance (unless I wanted to take two to three years to do it, or give them away). I would either have to list them here, or ebay, or both. And I cannot imagine trying to sell them in the winter locally.

I know Toronto is a pretty hot market, so give it a try.

Prices are depressed this year, ebay just reflects what I am seeing locally. Bikes I am selling are off about 20%, maybe more, this year (2010).

And to sell on ebay, you have to be willing to ship.
