Donate Or Sell Collection Of Vintage Parts / Frames?

[prototoast]

Get a bunch of flat rate boxes. Divide your stuff into lots that fit in one box. Sell by the lot, shipping cost known ahead of time.

Sell them for cash at the next Brooklyn Bike Jumble. The September date has yet to be finalized but it will be in September, is full of people who know what c rec is and is not far from you wherever you are in NYC www.nybikejumble.com

Full disclosure, I run the swap

As I get older, I find it more and more onerous to try to sell (and ship) things individually. It ends up taking a lot of time.

Yep, BikeForums C&V is a great place and quite the enabler site for many of my bikes over the years.

This is all great advice, thank you! Keep the advice coming!

I've got C Record Era parts from the non-indexed time period. It came from being a new cyclist in the mid 1980's, seeing a Bicycling Magazine article on the new groupset...and I couldn't believe my eyes, it's as though the cycling world was merging with the art world. Couldn't believe how amazing those parts looked on the shiny pages of the magazine, and couldn't believe how expensive they were going to sell for either! Luckily, I've been fortunate enough over the years to be able to buy and ride those parts, and can say that when properly set up they ride very smoothly and predictably.

I'll gather up everything and make a large for sale posting here, but in the classified section.

Great, just when I said, "no more buys".

Ha, I have an ‘86 DeRosa Pro that I bought from the original owner. Her told me he saw this magazine cover and the girl with the bike convinced him he had to have that bike. He’s a retired dentist LOL.
