Back Alley in carrboro buys used bikes, and in good shape they pay pretty well. they have a huge hipster market for classic lightweights (especially centurions

Otto ...Oooh, the C-word..(Centurion)... I may just have to run over to Carrboro, I've got an Ironman I just don't have the energy to go at.
I have had as much luck selling to people who see me riding my bikes as anything. The Shogun flip-flop went local $300; then again, I stopped at a perpetual yard sale today, 1963 Schwinn cruiser sitting there, rusted but complete. No one home. Instead of stealing the bike, I left my card. She called back later, asked $200, said she had an offer of $150. I told her to find that guy, get his money, then move.
