Barracuda MTB, Sell or Dump
I have one the original Barracuda's, '94 AB2. It's an errand bike, but the fact that is was one of the first bikes made of that Durango, Co. company was a fun legacy. I suspect it was about $400 new, I doubt it has much value now, 29 lbs and I've changed out some of the OE.
Time to let it go, would you just dump as a commuter/grocery getter on Craigslist?

I'd put it on C/L. It's unlikely to attract much attention on Ebay with Shimano Alivio components. FYI, the original 1994 MSRP was $450 US.

I would say sell it locally on CL it wouldn't be worth the hassle and cost of shipping. These were pretty nice hard frames but a bit heavy. I would put the value in good ready to ride condition at $150-200 depending on market.

I sold a very similar model with a suspension fork for $75. And it sat for a while before I got any bites.

I have one of the '95, it had the the fork swapped out for a Judy XC, an upgrade at the time of purchase. The designers are the same people that did the Yeti and Schwinn homegrown.
I admit my a2b was a dumpster find, I've built it up with all the best crap I've found since.
