I sold one last year actually....very rare bike. I let it go cheap hoping the guy I sold it to was telling the truth. he said it was for his girlfriend's kids. only thing not original was the front seat....

As always, turn to eBay for an idea of what others think they're worth (or not):

https://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=7244513791
https://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=6634434513

Current auction:

Ebays only good to get an idea of value if youre planning on selling whatever on ebay.

When you sell on ebay the world pretty much see's it, thus more interest, maybe like 300 people would really want the item, where if you tried to sell it locally maybe 1 if youre lucky, and they would laugh at the high price you're trying to sell it to them for.

e.g; if i tried to sell one of my old single speed bicyles locally I wouldnt be able to cause no one would want it, maybe on ebay I can find at least one interested person.

I agree. eBay is the biggest market out there and it makes sense that it will bring the highest price. I would use it for setting insurance values and if I had a Mini-Twinn to sell, that's where I'd sell it. Bikes worth under $150 that take 2 hours to pack -- maybe just sell them locally.

We have an on-line price guide on our web site.
There are 2 Mini-Twins listed. One for around $600 and one for around $800.
