As my previous post was deleted due to thoughts that i was trying to sell on the forum i would like to make it clear that im not selling here im just seeking advice more than anything so again:

Hi guys i need your help.

I'm from Ohio and have just obtained a limited edition H&M brick lane bike and am looking to get rid but i'd like to avoid ebay if possible.
The bike itself is worth $1950 brand new if bought from brick lane bikes in the UK and only a hand full have been made.

What i'm looking for is advice on how i could sell this locally to avoid postage/shipping costs and hopefully get a decent return as i'm putting the money towards a new computer.

You've heard of Craigslist, right?

Also, you won't be able to sell it for $1950.

You forgot to mention the H&M promo blurb in the middle of your specs. You know, you could try riding it. If the bike is as nice as you say, you might even like it.

I don't know what the Ohio CL market is like but here in Portland, you would be lucky to get 900~ from that as a complete, probably more if you parted it out.

Most people aren't too interested in buying a a bike over 500-600 bucks from CL it seems, they'd rather just go to a store and get a warranty/receipt and all that.

Did you win the bike or actually buy it?

Dude, being personally familiar with the Ohio CL, I would find another way to sell it. Not as active as other cities where, as previously posted, you could maybe get 900$ for it. Its a nice prize, and I feel like the person interested in buying an H&M themed bike probably already has a republic 'fixie' or something; just doesnt appear to fit in the market of high end bikes.

1) What a bike is "worth" is what someone will pay for it, not what the sum of all of the parts/labor costs.

2) If you have to explain why your bike is awesome...it's not awesome. "Limited" this that and the other only means something to the uninitiated.

3) Anybody willing to spend close to $2000 for a bike knows that this bike isn't worth close to $2000.

4) It's a Cro-Mo steel bike with a non-Specialized tri-spoke, H+ Son wheel, house-brand parts on it. It's meh at best. A bike like can be built/bought brand new for much less than $1000.
