I found a bike I want to buy, but the seller is refusing to ship for some reason. I know this is a long shot but maybe someone could help me facilitate the sale?

Thanks to all you kind people of BF!

Have you seen the facilitators sticky note on the C&V forum? You just might find someone.

Thanks for the reminder!

One alternative is to contact a local bike shop in the seller's area and ask if they would work as the facilitator to package and ship the bike (at a fee of course). I had a friend do this for a fairly expensive recumbent bike as the shop could verify the condition of the bike and shops get a better shipping rate than an individual. My friend sent the money to the bike shop and only paid the seller when the bike was in the shop.

Where's the bike in Iowa?
Where does it need to go?

I sent you a PM, please check your inbox. Thanks!!!
