I love ebay when I have a project, whether home remodeling, decluttering, upgrading technology, or bike stuff. I've bought/sold big stuff: 130 lb. cast iron pedestal sinks, bought a SubZero refrigerator, and a 6 burner Viking range for my ADK camp. I've also unloaded computer parts that would fit in the palm of your hand and countless iPhones. As far as bikes and bike parts, they have been shipped from NY to Hawaii.
