I just started using Venmo--making one transaction so far. Do you recommend using it for used bike sales?
I have two bikes I had been planning to sell since late 2019. I have held off due to health/safety concerns but I think I better get them out there before it inevitably turns into a buyer's market. When do you think that's going to be? Late summer as it looks like more and more states are opening up and some people flood the market with their unused Covid bikes? Or next summer as people hold onto their bikes in anticipation of another Covid winter?

- I posted my bikes on PinkBike.com, eBay (local pick-up only to advertise the bike, but not pay seller fees), and Craigslist. ALL of the bikes sold because of Craigslist, so posting on the other sites was likely a waste of time for me. The nice part about Craigslist is that you obviously have no seller fees, but please be safe when selling your bike in-person. Consider having alcohol wipes handy, keep your distance from the potential buyer, etc.
