I got a Trek hybrid on Craigslist for a good price and sold it again when I got my road bike, for the exact same amount. (Not until I got it out to sell it, did I realize that although I had ridden it 250 miles in 6 weeks, that the frame was too big for me! I could ride it, but not stand over it.

My husband has gotten some older bikes, refurbished them and sold them for a profit from Craigslist.

Ebay: I just ordered a Canari jacket with sleeves that zip off to make it a vest- for $20 plus shipping. List price: $70. It is supposed to arrive today! Hope it lives up to the reviews, but that seems like a good deal to me.
