I have not been on bicycle forums around the web enough to know this. Where would you list a bike for sale on the web?
Clydesdales/Athenas (200+ lb / 91+ kg) - Where would you list?

I think Ebay can be tedious and costly for the seller. You have to pay some fees, follow some rules, and (usually) ship it. But, if you have something rare or valuable, you might get top dollar for it.
Craigslist is likely easier, and targets local buyers. It's free for sellers, without any real restrictions (just sell one thing at a time, and tell the truth, or the CL "ethics police" will come after you). The sale would tend to be local, cash, pickup. If the item is more ordinary, with easily established value and good demand, then Craigslist should work.
Either way, take measures to protect yourself, if you have any gut feeling that you might be dealing with a scammer. You could show the bike at a Starbuck's, instead of your home, for example. And, don't send someone your bank account number, so they can wire you funds from Sweden...

roadbikereview.com has a pretty extensive classified section. I often check it out, but have not purchased or sold anything. I don't know any of the details, but I like looking at what's available.

Actually, this bike is carbon fiber and has NO WEIGHT LIMIT. It is also stiff enough to stand up on it hard. If the wheels can carry you, you can ride it.
The bike is listed here:

Hope I haven't broken any rules here.
Actually years ago, I helped a guy loose weight. He rode an MTB from 450 pounds until he got to 350 and switched to a CF road bike for another 50 pounds before I lost track of him.
