Question Advice needed -how to sell a cargo bike frame

Hello,

I need advice on how to go about selling a bike frame. I have a Surly Big Dummy size large frame that I want to sell. I bought it and was using it to haul kids but found that I am just not comfortable with the weight up that high in the back and what it does to slow speed maneuvering. I have decided to move to a Cetma frame (box in front bakfiets style) and have stripped the frame of components and am ready to sell it.

I posted it to craigslist, of course. Are there other places/methods that I should try to use to sell it? I figure that it is so specialized an item that appeals to a limited audience - but am a bit clueless on how to reach that audience as I am new to it myself.

Also, how do I figure out what shipping would cost and is there a right/wrong way to box a bike frame if (Lord help me) the frame should not sell to someone local?

Any thoughts/help would be welcome.
