Trek 330
I rebuilt this one for my son to ride in hopes he'd join me. Anyway a year and a half and twenty miles later she sits outgrown and unused.
Started as a donor and I spent about $150+ on it, would it be fair to look to recover that??
Thanks.......

Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

$150 doesn't sound bad, if it were closer I'd be temped myself.

Hard to say. It is a nice bike. But no collectors are seeking it out. It is the kind of bike that sometimes can be had at a garage sale for almost nothing. But then, the right person might buy it on Ebay for a couple of hundred. I would guess less on CL, unless you luckily found that right person close by.
I am biased, by the way, I have one just like it and love it.
If you are not in a huge hurry for it to sell, you might put in CL for 150-200. But do not be surprised if you have to relist it a few times before it sells. Spring coming around would help also.
good luck

I would list that bike on Craigslist for at least $175 in the spring if it was in my area. HEY! You ARE in my area!
