I did this a while back for a Raleigh Supercourse. Saw it mentioned in "ebay/Craiglist" finds, for $10. I was in Virginia, bike in Minnesota. No BF'ers local to area, so I emailed the seller and asked if he would be willing to sell to me and deliver to a local bike shop, for extra $15. He said no problem, so I contacted the 3 local shops (small town) and one of them was very willing to box and ship it for me. Since it was winter, they were not very busy anyway! So I paid seller via paypal and then he took it to the bike shop. They only charged $25 to box and deliver to Fedex, and back then (before the new "dimensional weight" rules went into effect), they shipped for $27, (bike shop had commercial account) so I go the bike for about $75, not as good as $10, but not bad for Supercourse in good condition. Just depends on the seller being willing to get it to the bike shop, where they take over.
