His trade ins are all excellent bikes. While I waited for the Mondonico to be built I rode a bike from his "trade in/loaner fleet". The one closest to my size is a Della Santa. Who gets to just loan one of those? I believe it was a trade in and a delight to ride but a little big, hence the Mondonico.

I'd hate to sell any of mine but if I did would go through my LBS.
The OP is talking about selling her bike on CraigsList and meeting the buyer at a bike shop to seal the deal. Different than selling it through the bike shop.
