Some of the better MTBs I currently have include a Univega Alpina Pro and two Trek 950s. I have two Gary Fishers right now, an Aquila and I forget the other one (I am not home right now, or I would go look). I also have a variety of mid grade or lower Treks, a Univega Alpina 5.1, a Lotus, a Specialized and a Bottechia. The Alpina Pro is a really nice bike, around 1988 vintage, with a smoked chrome triple butted cromoly frameset. The 950s are pretty nice too. I have sold 26 MTBs in the last two years. I try to avoid them in general, I really focus on racing bikes instead.
Please share some details on your successful sales. I sure would like to learn how to get more for them, as I have pretty much given up on flipping MTBs. The most I have ever gotten for a vintage MTB is $165, typical is $120+/- (and $100 for the lower end models). At those kind of prices, you have to find them really cheap to do any better than breaking even.
