Some people lowballed me on a bicycle?

Either they don't know these bikes or they will most likely fix & flip it for cash somewhere else if it needs fixing but even if it's not in good shape but rideable it's worth a little more than the price your asking too.

If you don't know these sites already then please check them out and at two of them you can sell it in their for sale sections at The Classic and Antique Bicycle Exchange, Ratrodbikes & Old Roads and some of the members actually have Firestone bikes.

Any sale of a second hand item requires bargaining. You don't seem prepared to do that. Any person coming to look at your old bike is going to make a lower offer than the asking price.

it;s not worth $50 unless PRISTINE condition

not repainted

not rusty

not ANYTHING but sat in a vacuum for 60 years

i;d just tell them before they come, you aren;t coming down on price, they can come anywaya

and if you never sell it, i guess you want the bike more than the money

it;s not rude to say no, especially if you warned them

what would be rude would be to have someone say 'ok i am coming 250 miles to see this thing, i hope you will bargain' and you say 'yes', and then they come, and then you don;t bargain

be explicit before anyone makes long trips

that isn;t rude

wle

If they offer anything more than $10, take the money & run. Unless that bike is in showroom new condition, it's not worth $50. Sorry dude.

You would be lucky to get $50 it's not worth that much.
