I find the market place sometimes has hidden gems because people in all those cycling groups know what to take for their stuff, and also sometimes too much. Haha, hard work as in lots of people lowballing and stuff? I use it very often i gotta say, but as with everything you get used to it.

Exhibit A: A pair of Rapha sunglasses, BNIB, never been out the box ever, 40% off web price. Free delivery at your convenience by yours truly in town, or shipped the very next day. I must have spent 2 hours solid over 4 days ( PMs and texts) with the buyer...
Exhibit B: Spesh Power saddle. The buyer sent one of his driver to pick it up. Only said driver was in an actual semi-trailer, calls me when I was out for 10 minutes, and of course he can't go in my street or park anywhere near... so he leaves, and we have to start again...
It's not bad, just a bit long winded, especially after selling and buying on here.
As for advertised prices, please tell me no one pays anywhere near that: my faves are " I bought that Pinarello in May for 70k but now it's September and cycling is not my thing so you can have it for a bargainous 60K".

Is the market place better than the "CYKLING: Sælges/købes/byttes" group? I sold a few things on there, but gosh was it hard work (same for DBA)... I don't remember buying anything though.
I should send you a shopping list!
