Women's vintage mixte bikes will sell for $100 or so; throw a $15 basket and a $3 bell and you can get $200.
Put a $3 bell on any bike you sell and mention it in the ad, even better. mention it in the heading.
Mention the size of the rider, not the bike, very few people will know the size they need.
A good example of a CL heading: "Vintage ladies bike, suits a rider 5'3-5'9, pink, bell, fenders, basket"
Excellent advice. I've only flipped a few bikes but recently listed a very small touring bike on CL several times without success. I saw this post, edited my title to reflect the size of the rider, and sold it within a week.
Do I owe Jet Sanchez a cut of the proceeds?
