Craigs list if you don't mind inviting total strangers to your home.
Shipping won't eat into your selling price if the buyer pays for shipping. You probably get more for it on eBay, too.
Shipping bikes is a PITA. I only sell at bike swaps.

Hey all thanks for your help - I listed but no bites (not really the right time of the year!)
Maybe I will list at the swap string....

However, Around Town Bicycles in Wilkes-Barre will ship. This won't do you much good unless you are close by.
EDIT: You can also sell on Ebay and only allow local pickup... I have purchased a couple of bikes this way. You can always arrange to meet at a public place. For this bike, even though it appears to be in nice shape, most people won't want to pay shipping anyway.
