I've found a few deals. Yesterday I picked up near brand new Mavic Aksium wheelset w/ a $100 set of Hutchinson tires installed for $65. However, I've found that selling bikes (in Boston as well) has been much harder these last few weeks compared to the same time last year.
A quick glance at last year's spreadsheet shows my sales from Sept 15-30 2009 of :
Raleigh Super Record - $180
Fuji Dynamic 10 - $200
Schwinn World - $160
Moto Mirage - $150.
Same time this year, all nicer bikes with alloy wheels, etc.
Lotus Challenger SX - $150
Lotus Challenger SX - $150
Schwinn World - $140
It took much longer to sell the nicer bikes at the same, or lower price and I got haggled a lot more. Not sure what the deal is...market is getting saturated maybe?
p.s. stien, where do you go to school? I'm at Northeastern...
