Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

resale value question

I'm wondering how much I should sell my 2003 Raleigh Competition (ultegra 9 speed, alu frame, r540 wheels, ~4000 mi) for. I've looked on ebay, but it's wasn't a very popular bike. Thanks

So find other bikes of similar vintage with similar componentry. Craigs' is another good place to look.

As far as eBay goes, the good news is that you don't have to know how much to sell it for. The market decides. Post a compelling auction with good pictures, and the market will decide what it's worth. If you're afraid visibility won't be adequate, run a 10-day auction, and pay a little extra for some of the visibility upgrades.
