I sold it because I just bought a new full suspension bike, have a rigid, and yet another hardtail that I also need to sell and is equally well equip and will shoot for $700 for it too.
Do you list your bikes at $700 or somewhat higher knowing that you'll take $700? I wonder what the best strategy is when selling bikes. Someone said that his stolen bike was sold in just 1 day on Kijiji because the seller listed it so cheaply (listed for $1200 while the BBB value in that condition was about $2000). Maybe if he listed it for more even though he would have settled for the same price he sold it for, the buyer would have overlooked his ad. I don't know how these things work.
