e-Bay? Bentrideronline? BikeForums? Yard Sale (probably not...)? Craigslist? Multiples of above?

It depends on what you're looking for. I found my Catrike on the Catrike for sale board. Bentrideronline seems to have a lot of bents for sale. Some bike shops have bulletin boards where people offer their bikes for sale. Sometimes the bike shop will have some used ones. Some bike shops have online for sale boards. I'm not a big fan of ebay unless I'm selling something. It seems hard to find items that are much below regular retail.

Thanks - I'm looking to sell, and I suspect that e-Bay is my first choice. If nobody meets my asking price, then plan B is to try bentrideronline. My bike is somewhat customized, and the changes may add or detract from the value, depending on what buyer I attract.
