One more thing: Craigslist. Used bike prices on Craigslist come from fantasy-land. Most of the bikes for sale on my local CL could be mail-ordered in brand new for less. I can only assume that the sellers who list these prices fall in one or more of the following camps:

• Delusional;
• Simply threw out a random number;
• Seller paid full retail at a bike shop (i.e. way too much) and are trying to recoup their original sale price after riding the bike for 2 years; or
• Or the seller is a chronic haggler who assumes that they need to double the asking price in advance of a scorched-earth negotiating session with prospective buyers.
