I find usually the lower end stuff (if priced realistically) goes fast, real fast. The higher the price of vintage stuff, the slower it moves. So take a 1970s Paramount, at a really good price, it could last a while. Meanwhile, a 1970s Varsity, at a realistic price, will go fast. The best bargains on C/L here are often really good to high end vintage bikes.
And if you want a really good deal, look for framesets, they go really cheap here.
+1 My neck hurts seeing that much seat post.
Around here, the bike business is booming throughout the summer, with the last pop being the late in the year triathlete crowd and the back to school/going to school college crowd. Both of them hit it hard in August. By early September thats over, and by now (late September), the good deals start popping up.
