The challenge is the market may NOT improve. I've held on to things waiting for the market to improve and 99% of the time, it ended up getting worse, not better.

As far as
Ebay, sure. But then you have to pack and ship at a reasonable cost, buyers win all disputes, and pay all the fees. But absolutely, on these desirable vintage bikes, Ebay is the place with the highest prices.

Many sellers want Ebay type pricing, but the convenience/ease of a local sale.
