There are several nice bikes among the 89 bicycles and one trike here. I ran some searches in this forum for the nicer ones and came up empty, but some of these might yet have lonely owners. Don't know if it is already too late, but tomorrow night it will be for sure!

I used to do these regularly. Often the Dept. Store Bikes go for as much as new. Low end LBS bikes go for around $20-50 more than those. If you have a decent bit of knowledge, you can get some great deals if you're willing to do some work. I've also bought some just for the parts.

New auction this week: http://www.auctionadvantagemn.com/Blank.htmlA couple of decent finds amidst the usual collection of kids bikes and beaters. ETA: over 100 bikes shown, with lots of kids bikes, at least a couple of single speeds (fixies?), and what looks like a 2008 Bianchi Torino set up as a commuter at the very end.
