Okay, thanks for the advice, everyone. The consensus, it seems, is to try the local CL. I don't have a lot of confidence in that, mainly because there are only 750,000 people in the whole state of Vermont, so the potential buyer pool is pretty limited. Still, worth a try, I guess.
Another issue, I'm realizing, is that I'm not a hard-boiled flipper like some here, so my tendency is to want to hang on to things. In particular, I'm a bit of a "parts miser." I don't actually mind letting the 610 go, but I'd really like to keep the VGT Luxe rear derailleur, Vx front, and the clamp-on downtube power ratchet shifters, which would be perfect for another project of mine. I suppose I could find the parts elsewhere, especially if I sold the bike for a reasonable price, but a bird in the hand....
