Miyata Ninety 12 Speed

Found this one for a crazy good price at a "Moving" sale a couple of weeks back.

Tried to flip it on CL today - no takers.

The more I clean it up and look it over, the more the price is going up!

thanx for the comments guys. It's here in the Dallas/ Ft Worth area.

I listed it on CL today with a non-greedy price, and then while I was waiting for a call, I continued to clean on it, and realized that I listed it too way too cheap. No one bit, so I took the CL ad down.

I always do one-day CL ads. "TODAY ONLY!" and I say that I will take the ad down if it does not sell, and I do delete the ad in the evening. This works very well for me, I can control when to expect to have to devote time to sit around and wait for offers. Also "TODAY ONLY" seems to trigger people to make up their minds to offer or to pass.

I'm going to wait until after the first part of Jan. and re-list this one on CL with a much higher price and see what gives.

BTW: it is as nice as it looks. every component is branded quality stuff.

That is a clean machine for sure!

I think Christmas may be hurting used bike sales a little right now.

yeah, no surprise. Santa wants to deliver bikes with dept store hang tags and wheel cardboard.

All of the Christmas bike programs ask for new un-wrapped gifts, so that means Wally World for the most part.

That and these cold temps and wind really hurt bike sales.

Miyata bikes are top shelf. Believe it or not, the one you have is bottom of the line.
