I'm near the NYC market, but too far for many city residents. Still, I didn't get a single response.

I think they may be more popular on the west coast for some reason. My next step is probably eBay...I've been avoiding it because I despise shipping for various reasons.
+1 I think the pricing quoted above is optimistic. Very few $900 bikes out there.
Now $500 depending on condition, sure. Still then, a local sale could be difficult, although in Portland, maybe not.
