Sometimes it's worth it. I've had items sell for 50% more on eBay than I've had them listed for and gone unsold here. It depends on the item, of course, but sometimes eBay is more than worth its fees.

On bike stuff I'm done, because other markets exist. But I did purge a bunch of stuff before the $600 1099 rule kicked in, and some of that sold on ebay after it didn't sell here. |

Have had great success selling cycling items on craigslist for the last several years including a Look KG196 frame set that I shipped to CA.

I just got an offer for a Crux cx bike - TPC ONLY offered me store credit. No lower cash payout option. Is that common? Perhaps an indication that they want my bike (they have very few Crux on their site currently) but also really need to unload some other inventory.

Aside from the fact that they only offered a trade in, was the value they offered still decent?

I have no desire to spend $2100 on their site so I won't be accepting their offer. |

are we still complaining here?
I'll just say that some offers I've had from them I would have preferred to be told "you probably should just keep it" |

Same here.

I think the reality is the big pandemic induced bike boom is largely over. Ebay seems to have a lot more desirable bikes up for sale, the regular suspects are advertising sales again, parts are more regularly in stock, etc.
Probably the days of TPC buying everything they could just to have some stock to sell are behind us.

Almost like the used car market if you will, though MSRP kinda ruins that, but cars aren't as elastic a good especially when econoboxes have the crazy jump in MSRP as well. |

FWIW, I just snagged an open-box Force AXS crank+rings+powermeter for the cost of just the powermeter in retail packaging. So, used bike quality notwithstanding, TPC has some good deals, at least occasionally.

I agree with this. TPC has great deals on equipment all the time (usually looks like they get as bulk surplus stock and then sell on the cheap). I've never seen a used bike from them that was worth it for me, but I have spent thousands of dollars with them, and will spend more in the future.

TPC framesets seem to be okay on pricing too, certainly less on average compared to what people are asking for on Pinkbike.
