    I have a Skyway T/A in original condition. Maybe 5 or 6 miles ridden total. Might have been one of the very last ones out of the plant in Redding, CA (where I grew up). My mom knew some people there and when my mountain bike got stolen she hit them up and they put one together for me - probably in '84 or '85. I'd like to sell it but I haven't got a clue what it's worth. I have 3 kids now, never was a big BMX guy and I would probably rather have some cash. I always planned on giving it to my son if I had one.. but now I realize what a stupid idea that would be! It would be a real find for someone who was into these 80's BMXs. Any ideas?

    • check completed items on ebay. but if it's a skyway survivor and complete could be north of $1kprophetone
    • $3800 BIN with 27 watchers http://www.ebay.com/…prophetone
    • Wow. Didn't realize it could be worth that much. Cool, I'll dust it off and get it up there. Is ebay the best place to sell?mathinc
    • personally i would try local first, less hassle, but DO NOT compromise on market value with a local guy, b/c you could go eBay route and make the correct $$$prophetone
    • all this being said, if you were in vancouver i would be lowballing you like crazy to get my greasy mitts on it for cheap... hahahaprophetone
    • hahaha. Yeah I live in a pretty small town (~60k pop). Doubt I'd find A. a buyer and B. a buyer with $mathinc
    • well, you could initially list it at proper $$$ but have it set as a pickup only, again saving hassle, or just keep to within USA only of shippingprophetone
    • i guess what i'm saying is you could get someone who knows they are passing through, or maybe have friends relatives near you who can pick up locally etc.prophetone
    • True. It would be a lot easier than shipping.mathinc
