anaphase - Craiglist is a great idea, I always forget about that. I just put it there.
xeney - sorry you had a such a poor experience on Ebay! I've sold and bought quite a few things on there and never had the trouble you did. You brought up good thoughts to keep in mind. My LBS wil charge $75 to pack, ship and insure the bike so that cost I already know. Condition isnt an issue, the bike is less than 6 months old and spotless so I'll do lots of close pics from all angles.
Thanks!
