What one considers to be a premium, another considers a steal.
And while unwanted bikes being donated is a great option(i continually support the local collective with parts and bikes), its absurd to declare that unwanted bikes should be donated. Given that approach, then ALL unwanted goods should be donated and never sold. No garage sales, no ebay, no flea markets, not antique stores, etc etc. The same argument could be used for pretty much anything unwanted.
