Same here, even though D.C. is a good market. MTB, kids, and ladies bikes do not command good prices.
I bought 8 bikes in the last community yard sale. One cruiser, one older Fuji road, and a ladies Specialized hybrid were the best. One was a mens Giant MTB bought for the frame. Except for the Fuji, they averaged $10 each. It worked out because of the low cost and I only had to buy one set of 26" slicks. Except for the frame build, the work was cleaning and tuning.
