Experience with selling a used ss/fg?

I'm looking to turn an old 1982 Schwinn Super Sport of mine into a single speed. It's a beautiful lightweight right now - 22 pounds, 14 speeds. However, I am a cyclist operating on a tight budget, so I feel most secure when I know I can resell my equipment at a moment's notice without taking a huge loss.

How easy is it to sell a single speed or fixed gear on Craigslist? Do people purchase them? My belief was always that half the fun of one gear was the conversion or build process in the first place, and it didn't make sense for me to buy someone else's bike which had already been customized to their unique tastes. If I were to one day sell this future single speed, would I have to settle for a loss?

Your experiences appreciated.
