There is a large spring bike swap here, little different than most in that it is 100% managed by a large bike coalition non profit. Whole bikes only and you pay 15% commission on any sale but can drop them off and never have to haggle or deal with buyers. I have moved quite a few whole bikes at this swap, generally can mark up 10% to CL postings. I have sold $150-$600 bikes at this swap but generally works best for $200 or less vintage rides that are ready to go. Have about 7-8 overhauled resellers that will probably take there this year as to me it is worth netting a little less but having them sold fast vs the CL hassle. Could be my last swap as rehabber though as generally no longer finding it worth my time/effort on non keeper projects but for 3x years now the swap is where I move a lot of the winter inventory. Of course as I am riding in today (and freezing my ass off in 15F weather) I see a trek 420 that I saved from oblivion, frankenbiked back up, sold at swap, and now I see around a good bit with same rider. I am a sucker for seeing old things of quality saved/reused.
