Any thoughts on best place (sites) to sell bikes and bike parts? SIL has one on ebay and it's not going...I thought somewhere a bit more specialised would be better.

Bike mags tend to have an ads section at the back. Or just your local paper?

The bike shops here buy second hand bikes, that's another possibility.

bikeradar.com has a classified section in their forum

if it's a MTB he could try singletrackworld - although those guys tend to be at the top end of the MTB game

preloved.co.uk is also a good outlet to try as is thegorillafirm.com

go check those sites out

Does he have any good LBS in the area GFB? One of mine buys and sells a few bikes. You may even be able to swing things to get 'stock' in value.

As someone has said, try Bikeradar. Or the CTC website also has a classifieds board although they tend more to commuting and touring bikes rather than road bikes.

Website called craigslist is good if you're in London area , or gumtree everywhere else

I think the problem with craiglist and gumtree is that they are very very general and an ad for a bike would get lost I reckon

+1 to that. .There's lots of bargain hunters on gumtree too.

you could try putting an ad on TT.

i expect if it's not selling it's just because it's priced too high.

if you want the most you can get for a bike then it's worth taking it apart and selling the parts off. i've just stuck my cyclocross/winter trainer bike on ebay. will break it down to parts and sell it if it doesn't go soon. i've probably priced it too high too i expect.

It should be Pirate Bazaar, but I think your misspell is more apt
