Too cheap. However, to get the best price off of Craigs List (at least in my area), you have to be patient. It is not unusual to have to repost a bike several times. With vintage bikes, to sell at full market on a local Craigs List, you need three things:

1. Someone looking for a vintage bike.

2. Someone the right size (so it fits them).

3. Someone willing to pay full market.


Buyers meeting this criteria in a smaller local market come and go. So if you have to (or want to) sell it quick, you will need to discount it. The choice is really yours, fast sale means lower price.

Personally, I have been amazed at the decent bikes that have lasted on Craigs List for several days, even at below market pricing. Example: the Nishiki Prestige I picked up earlier this year, spotless, recently serviced at a LBS, $100. Selling price basically covered the most recent tuneup.


Myself, as I have been running out of sellable inventory, I have learned to be more patient.
