I picked up this Mongoose a few years ago hoping to get into street riding. I learned that it required more work than I was willing to give. I rode the bike a few times then parked it in the basement and went back to riding my MTB. I would like to sell it but have no idea what a used bike like this should go for. I got it at a LBS before Wal*Mart started selling Mongoose. I think I have about $300 in the bike

You are not going to get much for that.

Unless you can swindle someone that doesn't know anything.

Thats what I like to hear. I guess if I can't get that I will just keep it in the garadge incase I decided to ride it again. It just seems so much harder to pull anything off on that bike than my MTB
