I have about half a dozen MTBs left to move to new homes. Then I am done with them.
For $2, it's a no-brainer.
I used to have two left, now only one. I just sold a rigid Giant Sedona to a friend for exactly what I paid for it - $35. It was clean and working, and he needed a tow bike for his kid's tag-along. I was as happy to get rid of it as he was to find a tow bike for cheap. Plus - I got a nice bottle of wine in the bargain as a "thank you".
Sucker.
