The only bike where I had a bidding war on Craigs List was a 1973 Varsity. I had priced it at full market, and I had a lot of people that wanted it. Nostalgia lives.

I've flipped several of them. To make a useful flip out of one, you just have to get it cheap, really cheap (like $5 to $10 if they need the basics). Otherwise, it will be a waste of time and effort.
