Bikes: Old Schwinns and old Raleighs

Like you , I get enjoyment from them and downsizing now is hard but I don't worry about the $$ as much as finding someone who appreciates them.I got a text last night from the person who bought my Raleigh Competition GS ( mid tier Campy )and he is very excited so that made it great!
I would have thought that, but a Schwinn Aerocycle just sold for $30,000 recently, and a tail light for one just went for about $4k just for the tail light. Certain stuff is recession-proof it seems.
