This isn't an endorsement, just an observation. Unless and until some site like this takes off, people will be stuck with eBay, Craigslist, and FB Marketplace. (Tom Jordan gave it a good try a few years ago with the now defunct A Great Vintage site, but couldn't make it work.) If something like this is to succeed, it will have to appeal to us, CR, the CABE, the Paceline, MTBR, etc. Pinkbike seems pretty successful, but doesn't seem to cater to the entire used bike hobby.
FYI - Just looked at Bikelist for the first time, Superbe derailleur in the bf "ebay/craigs are you looking?" section was listed there. They take a 9.9% sellers fee on sale which they say is less than others & like Ebay - "Marketplaces like BikeList are now required to send sellers a 1099k if they sell $600 or more on the platform in the calendar year. Previously, a 1099k was only required when a seller reached either their state’s threshold or the federal threshold of $20,000 in sales and 200 or more transactions in a calendar year."
