The first and most common method of selling a bike is to a buyer in your local area. This includes anyone from a bicycle store, to a pawn shop, to a neighbor in a garage sale. When selling locally it is best to go with selling directly to another person simply due to the fact that when selling to a business they offer you less because they themselves need to make a profit off of your sale.

Aside from locally, if you are willing to pay the shipping and handling, selling your bike online is a great way to reach a wider marketplace. Your are more likely to sell the bike faster when listing online, and with the ability to list on auctioneer sites, you are more likely to get a better deal as well. Always wait and confirm shipping and payment before shipping out the bike, as this will save you any hassle that could arise from a miscommunication.
