craigslist.
take a photo 'n' make a 'for sale' sign to post locally where people who are interested will see it (school / bike shop bulletin board).

Dunno...either you need to wait for the right buyer or lower your price? Or post somewhere else, such as a bike shop? Provide more info w/ the photo? Is there a consignment shop that deals mostly in bikes in your area (they will take a percentage)?

If it hasn't sold after such a long time, do you think you may be asking too much?

How about dropping into your local bike shop with the bike and asking them how much they believe it is worth second hand.

You could also check the for sale ads in your local papers to see what similar bikes are selling for.

How much did you originally pay for it and how long ago?

Bikes depreciate rather quickly and from what I have seen in the local shops in my area 300 bucks can get you a decent BMX rig. Sucks when you want to sell a used bike but unless it is in pristine condition and a newer year you get screwed.

Its an 03' version of the ruben frame but i got it in December of 03 and its flawless besides some chrome missing on the left side of the back rim and a small dent from a rubber mallet.
