market is the nyc metro area, I guess it's a hot used market. ebay and craigslist are full of unrealistic sellers and flippers 90% of the listings are total junk department store bikes or so far off it's not even worth the time looking at the listing. I don't know if anyone is really buying from these sellers, many ask close to msrp because they use the bike a handful of times and then let it sit for 5 yrs. saw 5-10yr old bikesdirect bike asking $600 (msrp is under 400 now), On ebay within the last wk I've seen strange selling results. An overstock 2014 caad synapse 8 had 0 bids and didn't sell for $425, then a 2002 Cannondale R800 w/ 105, in poor condition, sold $400. Not sure if people actually buy the bikes or if sellers just bid up or remove listings

Not sure if I can buy anything remotely lightweight and of reasonable quality lot of sellers with their heads in the clouds at this point it just might make more sense to just buy something new on a credit card. Maybe I should just start emailing realistic offers even if it's a low ball offer from the unrealistic ask price. Sellers try to pass upgrade cost dollar to dollar on things like pedals, water cages, lights, bags, shoes, helmets etc wish I could at least get a seller that invested in wheels or something not $100-300 in accessories some which you can't really even transfer to a new owner or can be picked up on ebay for a fraction of the cost that they think retains substantial resale value

anyone know if you can stack RIE Coupons?
