Selling bits individually has been almost enjoyable for me recently.
No eBay, just Craigslist. This means local cash sales only - I guess you could do the same with Gumtree.
It's practically enabled me to entirely fund the build of a new frame (Pompino) whilst hanging onto a rare-ish 1999 MTB frameset I've ridden from new.
To me, the frameset is much more special than any of the components | had on it, so I want to keep it in the hope I might build it back up one day.
Plus, I made sure it could be kept in the house in a way that wouldn't displease the missus...
I have tried selling parts individually in the past but it just takes forever. I have too many random parts hanging about (brake routing rollers, pump clips, cable guides etc) that are a pain to sell but just too nice to give away for free.
