| Scwinn Robihood For Sale Serious Inquiries only Please!!!!Phone 910-452-4015 |
| Hi all. Before I post my Collegiate for sale all over the net I need to find out its "birthday." The charts at Oldroads don't seem to help me. I would guess it to be a 1965 but I'm sure I'm wrong. The numbers on the headtube are J528056, however before the "J" is either a mis-punched "L" or some figure that is bit off plane from the other numbers and is not ledgeable but seems to have been there since its was manufactured. I have not been able to find anywhere the same Collegiate for sale to get a good grasp as to its value but want to sell in shortly. When I can find out the date I will post it for sale and hopefully get some more feed back as to its value. Thanks |

| 1942 schwinn cruiser with all original parts. Very little rust. Original tires are about to crack off! Lovely restoration project for a loyal schwinn fan. |
| I have a bicycle tank that I found under the house we bought,It has SKYRIDER on both sides,could anyone tell me who made this bicycle. I also found a WESTERN FLYER boy's 20in. probably made in the 50's in the barn. WE are restoring it for my little boy.Could the tank be for this bicycle, it has a place for one. I also found a WESTERN FLYER muscle bike with front caliper brakes and it had a slick on rear. IT looks as if it had a shifter on cross bar at one time. Could anyone tell me what they called this model. I can only find decals on it that say WESTERN FLYER. Also where can you get parts for these. Thanks; Danny. |
| The skyrider tank is common and has no real value. The western flyer 20" is a great bicycle but the tank is going to cost you that is the best part of the bicycle. |

| Both these bikes were A.M.F.built bikes.The sky rider tank might fit but should go on a larger bike I think. |
| About the western flyer muscle bike.. It could possibly be a buzz bike three . If it still has the chain guard on it,it should say BUZZ BIKE THREE or the # 3. Use to have one when i was young Mine was green but, dont know if they made other colors Hope i could help ,Jerry |
| I'm interested in your opinions on how/where to sell these bikes. They have been maticulously cared for. I don't have pictures to send around yet, but I'm hoping someone will be willing to toss around some ball park figures on their worth or point me in some direction here. Thanks. 1973 boys Schwinn Stingray Deluxe , red original paint, chrome fenders, new seat, tires, grips. all original and very clean. 1973 men's Schwinn Continental 10 speed, 27" frame, light blue, all original and in perfect condition. just like new. 1977 men's Raleigh "Record" 10 speed road bike, 24" frame, yellow w/black, all original, like new. |
| ebay Question.How can the StingRay be all original if it has new seat tires & grips? Sounds tio me like it's been restored to original |
| Sounds to me like you know a lot about bikes Stacey. Could you be of any help in offering your opinion on a best way to sell them or how to go about determining an asking price? |
| Well Laury, I wouldn't say that. But I am familiar with selling nad grading/defining items for sale. Like I said in my first post... eBay. Your market is world wide, not limited to the circulation of your local newspaper. Go to their site, check COMPLETED auctions for items similar to yours and use that as a guide to establishing your starting price. Also, there are a plethora of methods you can use; Low starting price, with or without reserve. High starting price, with or without reserve. Including the "Buy it Now" option or not. Each have their own merits and downsides. Though here isn't the place to hammer out the intracies of selling your stuff on eBay. If you'd like, feel free to contact me by e-mail and we can continue off the board. |
| Of course, Stacey is the same "knowledgeable person" who wasnt' familiar with the Ann Arbor bicycle show. Almost every bike person in the hobby knows about this show, the biggest and oldest in the hobby. Stacey, while very nice and forthright with her opinions, may not be the best person to take advice from. I do agree with her that Ebay will bring the highest price, however, take into account that you must receive payment (sometimes an iffy proposition), properly package the bike, insure and ship the bike, and pray that UPS (United Package Smashers) doesn't destroy your vintage bike. No amount of insurance money is going to bring an original bike back from the grave. If you live in a major city, or near one, there may be an opportunity to sell it locally through a club or online at this site or the schwinn classifieds page to a local buyer who could possibly pick up the bike, avoid the packing and shipping hassles and save you both some money. If selling online, high quality pictures are a must. The schwinn classifieds page allows you to post pics, but they must be less than 46k in size to work. Other sites allow you to post for free and then you can link to the picture from your posting. Being a bike collector and being someone knowledgeable about ebay transactions are not mutually exclusive. Stacey seems be right on the money with her ebay advice, however, you might check with a more knowledgeable bike collector to get additional information. (Note to Stacey: I'm not slamming you, just providing additional information. I read your post on the other page.) |
| I never heard of the Ann Arbor show either, but I have the identical Schwinn Continental, a '73, same color. Mine's an 8.75 out of 10, and I paid $40 for it last year, and thought it was a sweet price for a sweet bike. Those familiar with the Ann Arbor show are generally of the opinion that Connies are worth about $10. I recommend e-bay for selling it. You'll spare yourself a lot of sneers from the mercenary wing of this activity. |
| Gee "Willy", Isn't that the information Laury was seeking... where to go to get the BEST return on the bikes? Yes, granted there are the "aggrivations" with selling on eBay that you mentioned. But, I ask you this... How long have you been selling on eBay? And... How many auctions do you run a week? Myself, I run upwards of 200 auctions a week. I've been doing this for better than two years. In these two years, I've had a total of three packages go AWOL and NO transit damage. Please tell me and everyone else on the boards just how you've draw you hypothesis. Admittedly, I'm no self-proclaimed expert on bicycles... I stated that clearly in my post. However, I do fail to see just how Laury can reach even a tenth of the exposure on these "free" places that you mention. Clearly, you get what you pay for. And you know I mean all this in the nicest possible way, Anon. |
