Estate sales are terrible. My childhood friend died a few years back and several of us went to his estate sale, hoping to contribute and buy one of his bikes or guitars. We all left after seeing what the agency was asking for everything. A huge premium on everything.

Even dropping the zero on those won’t do it for me

Estate sale prices are often negotiable.

Stop back in a couple days and just take them out of the dumpster

Wait until the last day and buy them all for 100. The prices start high but drop rapidly, they ultimately don’t want to be on the hook holding all that stuff

I’d give them a hundred bucks for both the 930 & Y-22…

Yeah they’ll still be there at the sale close with those prices. Maybe swoop in and offer your price on the last day.

Perfect example of people thinking old= value.
These are all $10 junkers.

I initially thought it was denominated in pesos or something.

$200 for the 930 (lugged steel MUSA) in the back isn’t outlandish in my town.
How are the old non-Brooks leather saddles like the one in front on the Schwinn?

wow – the filth on these had to take a decade or more to build up. Enlarging the photo is ugly. I wonder if one man rode all of them in better days

Over the past decade, it has become more common for estate sale companies to take ownership of the remaining contents of any sale. Your more unscrupulous people will overprice items with the specific intention of not selling them…

Those people are greedy or stupid both mostly likely both

lol.. I’ll give them $100 for the 930 that… checks notes.. is from 1970?!? lmfao
and $20 for everything else.
This is the one scenario where I don’t mind haggling because I’d very bluntly tell them they are an idiot to their face.

Those are I don’t want to sell them prices.

I’d slightly overpay for the Chicago Schwinn. $40? I’d just turn it into a solid townie bike.

Love the green Continental. 75$ tops.
