+1 here. I have been good about not buying too much recently as my newer apartment is smaller and my girlfriend wonders why I need 3 bikes in the bedroom already.

i was just kidding because you're posting in a forum where people know the value of these bikes...and in my humble opinion, your prices are very low. in turn, it makes us want to have been in on these bargains. thus, you have transferred your sorrow onto us.

It's good what you're doing. At least you break even (if not a small profit) per sale. And they go to those who will appreciate them. Think of it as doing a good deed....finding a bird with a bad wing. Nurture it back to health and releasing it back into the wild.
I firmly believe one should never become a slave to their possessions. There is always a point where a hobby can become a liability. Sticking to a turnover strategy is key to moderating (and funding) our bike passion. Keep those few significant and sentimental favorites, and move the rest that may be of use and desire to other fledgling bikers. Good karma.
