hi,
Im currently trying to sell my bike,
i was wondering, do bike shops ever buy in second hand bikes?
i know that the lbs does not and is the the case everywhere else?

    Some do, but you'll get more money for your bike selling it privately such as on eBay. If you're looking for a quick sale you could try trading in your bike but prepare to take a shafting because the bikeshop will be trying to make a decent markup for themselves on your bike.
