Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer?

I have a G-304EH-7 that I'm trying to sell, and that (half) collection of yours makes me think you're into it quite a bit.
You wouldn't know where one would be best off selling that watch?

Ebay is your best bet. But unfortunately there isn't much demand for that style. So you'd want to target those specifically looking for that one with a BIN or OBO posting. Is it new in box? Used? What's the condition?

It's usually the classic style g shocks (dw5600 & dw6900 form factor) that fetch the most potential buyers and cash.
Price usually corresponds to age (vintage & just released from japan will take the lion's share), rarity, country of manufacture, colorway, and features.

I'd use sold listings as a guideline: Be sure to state the full model number and all that limited edition whodesigned it whatnot.

You're going to have to be patient if you don't want to let go of it for pennies on the dollar.
Offer international shipping but absolutely insist that the seller will pay for insured shipping and you report the full amount that the watch sold for sans shipping on the customs forms. There are collectors in Asia willing to pay out the nose for g shocks they want.

Guess I knew eBay is the way to go, just haven't sold anything on there before as I've tried to keep sales within other forums/marketplaces (mainly sneaker related). Also had a feeling I overpaid when I got it, but going by that sold listing you posted up I "should" still get what I paid for it. Used, but in super condition with original box and tags, but no instructions pamphlet. Guess its rarity/collab and age still could push up the price, but as said it's in used condition.

Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it. Guess I don't have anything to lose by putting it up. Hopefully, people won't take this as some kind of plug.

Today I started putting together a Cranksgiving alleycat for charity.

Does anyone here have any event planning experience, specifically in the area of sponsorship requests?
I'm hoping to get in contact with some bike companies that are good about sending some cheap prizes like tees, bottles, caps, etc.

In all likelihood, a rider like yourself isn't too far from being as fast as a typical cat4, weekend group ride club rider. You just need to sharpen up that high end/short effort fitness, and gain a little bit of skill.

I know you ride a fair bit, so your basal aerobic fitness and maybe even FTP are probably decent at worst

Oh. She's up in N County.

There are other San Diegans here, many of whom are regular posters, like Leukybear and Scrodzilla.

Have a good massage.

Got my first fixed century done with nice PCH rolling hills and wind. Overall it was a lot easier than I expected but I'm really feeling it afterwards, that or all the beer.

are you following me on strava...? I'm going to keep riding with them as much as I can, however I'm moving out of state in a few weeks and I'll need to find a new group... But yes I do need to work on my short efforts, and I hope to try some races next year.

Just got back from seeing Lifetime play. So good.

Tomorrow I'm going to see American Football play. Feels like the late 90s.

Today I got the caad new pedals. I had no idea how badly I needed new pedals. But more importantly now the Wabi has pedals again so I can do more regular fixed rides.
