We use this list to fairly and consistently set prices for most of the donated bikes we have available for sale. We account for:

• features that make them more useful, reliable, and attractive
• more efficient, durable, or pleasant to ride
• practical to service

Some bikes for sale from our performance-bike rental fleet are off this chart, and are priced at reasonable market value (usually on par with the completed Ebay auction price, but this can and does fluctuate).

Please feel free to ask us how any bike we have is valued, and why — we want to help you get the most useful and economical bike for your needs.
