So how much work does it take to decide which bikes out of say 500 are worth saving and which should go to the recycling center? The wheels are all of some kind of disarray but would take a few minutes to decide whether to keep or trash. Still, even if they trashed everything that came in they could realize about $2000 and it is something they don't want to do. Stoopid Dave logic going on here....

Herr KaLeun,
What happens on Campus regularly is every bike that is not registered with the University, is clipped and kept for 90 days. After that they are considered abandoned and put up for sale. Some are very high end bikes and a lot of middle of the road. And some useless junk. But all have a $ value even if $2.50 for scrap metal. What happens when they give me a $4500 carbon fibre bike they clipped? Most of these re not rusty abandoned bikes but use-able and sale-able bikes. Smiles, MH
