I just go look at it and hope it's worth the trip.
+1 The best deals are usually from clueless sellers. Sometimes this means you waste gas, sometimes you score a deal.

As far as tossing the bike, I have a lot of neighbors like that. They are too lazy to even take decent stuff to the nearby thrift store (1 mile away). Come garbage pickup day, I regularly pick up items, take them straight to the local GW. My neighbors need to be taken to the local landfill. The recycle-able stuff in that landfill, along with the terrible smell, might just make them think twice about curbing good, reusable stuff. They talk about being green, then turn around and curb just about anything.

Please don't confuse ebay "asking" prices with "selling" prices. Many sellers never get their ask price. some are far from it. Value is determined once an item actually SELLS. Its easy enough to check SOLD prices.
