Tom: As much as I dislike eBay because they don't do simple things that would reduce the amount of stolen merchandise fenced through them, the combination of paypal plus buyer & seller feedback mechanisms do two things that would be of help to you- #1: You'd get *real* buyers bidding for your bike, offering *real* prices. Right now, you may have your hopes artificially raised because people *are* willing to meet your price... but you find out later that they're bogus. Your bike is worth as much as a legit buyer will pay for it, not a penny more. #2: eBay removes most of the worry regarding getting paid. --Mike-- Chain Reaction Bicycles www.ChainReactionBicycles.com
