Selling Etiquette? Bikeradar classifieds or Ebay?

Was about to list a load of stuff I'm clearing out on eBay which includes some Profile Design Carbon Stryke aerobars, and wondered whether I should offer them on the Classifieds section here first.

I've got a reserve price in mind and didn't want to start an auction on here but would appreciate any advice.

    its your sh:t

    Do as you please....

    Ebay tends to get more cash per item, but you have fees. Try both! Ask for a top price here, and see if any offers meet your range.

    Look at ebay and see the completed listings for your item, then add about 20% to the price and advertise on here :wink:

    Alternatively, google the cheapest price for your item and add £10 :wink:

    Something to consider is that you are probably likely to get serious buyers via the forum. I've experienced a few time wasters selling stuff on eBay (e.g. placing a winning bid then deciding it's too far to come to collect :evil: )
