Where to sell a bike ?

Also worth noting - I think usually the 80% off only applies if it sells in the first listing period - not on any automatic re-listing. 

You're right - I re-list things if they aren't selling towards the end of that 30 day promotional period (which always almost coincides with another promotional listing period). Bit of faff but worth it for valuable things.

Ah, that's interesting. I got back into ebay selling in preparation for listing a bike, but so far I've only sold smaller items where the maximum listing duration seems to be 7 or 10 days. It's then very easy to accidentally find it's automatically relisted and you've lost the discount. Sounds like other categories or sale formats have longer durations. In fact, to the original poster, somewhere on this forum about 2 years ago I think I started a thread like this where people gave useful tips on ebay selling for bikes. Good luck finding it though.  

Are you putting things on for auction? That's only 7 or 10 days duration, I think.
I tend to put things on as fixed-price, 'Buy It Now' listings - those continue until they sell - just the discount period lapses after 30 days.

Ah, gotcha. Yeah, I've been auctioning so far, as it's generally been stuff where getting it out of the house is more important than the price I get!   

Pity but you're likely right. I've an old Galaxy needs replacing (mine's now scrap value though still limping on) and I'd probably replace with the same. It's by far the most generally useful and tough bike I've ever owned. Although maybe one with a more modern fork - mine can only accept some very old-style canti brake shoes at the front.
