best way to find out is ebay it and see how much it gathers....
meaning there is no value. the less value financial but more emotional, fun, soulfull value the better.

What is going on with the market right now? A friend of mine just bought that small 91 Yo! that was on eBay. Cook E cranks, M900 XTR driveline, White front hub Judy Ti fork and really, really clean for like 1200. It seems like a good price to me but he didn't even have to fight to get it, no other bids. Heck that was nearly the price new of just the frame back when we were selling them. And bushpig's 10th Anniversarywent lower than I expected too. Is the economy nose dive killing interest in all things bikes and specifically Fats right now? I don't think I've gotten into a bidding battle on anything in months.

Well, that's not what I've seen. I recently tried to bid on a 1992 catalog and was outbid in the last few seconds. Winning bid was $82.00! I was also outbid on a Ti Ibis frame. I didn't see that 1991 small Yo.

Yeah, I guess it is weird that way. That small Yo! was actually listed 2 weeks ago, and nobody bid on it, then it was listed again with a lower opening bid and my friend put in the only bid and got it for the opening price. http://cgi.ebay.com/Fat-City-Cycles-...QQcmdZViewItem But then you see goofy stuff like Jamis Dragons or oddball brake sets going into bidding battles. What's that all about.

When the seller states that he will not ship outside the US I believe he rules out quite a few potential buyers. BTW: Can anyone tell me why so many people on the bay don't ship internationally? I really don't see the problem as long as the buyer pays for shipping.

Another time before that I shipped a small box, maybe the size of a fork box, to Latvia and it was like $50.00 to ship it there. It would have been maybe 8 or 10 dollars to ship it anyplace in the US. That keeps some international bidders from bidding. Also, depending on how you send packages or more specifically if you send them as cheaply as possible, you can't track them once they leave the US. Last thing I want is for some A hole to claim he never got the package and start asking for his money back.

Those of you that have shipped internationally, what is the best way? I am going to put my Yo Eddie on the selling block. I don't care what country the person lives in as long it goes to a good home.

When I worked at the shop we would send bicycle to Europe or Australia on airlines as freight, but that was 10 or 15 years ago and I am not sure how that works now and how much it would cost today. DHL or Fedex might be an option. I think DHL is the largest shipper in the RoW and their pricing may be better than UPS.
