The reason to sell instead of just give away is because when my grandfather passed I lost my job from the last 14 years as I was his sole live-in caregiver which I was only paid for 2 hrs/7 days a week but was actually on 24/7 no breaks in the last few years as he got older and less able to be on his own for any length of time when I started 14 years ago he needed his meals and medicine dibe for him as well as laundry but the last 5-6 years I could barely leave him long enough to go to Walmart a 30 min drive away but anyway taxes are due in December and I'm not having luck finding a new job even in the same feild as it's a rural area. Before I was his caregiver I was a full time college student living at home and my mom said education was most important I was volunteering at a day care as that's the feild I was studying but I never completed it and can't get a student loan because no job so I can't complete the twining I stopped to care for grampa about 2-3 semesters from completion. so right now I'm trying to earn enough to cover the taxes as I have my tax return and my mom moved in to help with the rest of the bills so... Yeah would donate or give away if I could afford to.Perhaps someone might offer to take it away for free (or any reasonable offer); kind of like the people who dropped-off bicycles for free, but in reverse?
In another post, when you suggested that the bicycles be sold as a whole-lot, it seems that the primary objective is to get rid of the stuff, rather than making profit?
What might incentivize people to even look at the bikes (and parts), might be to try to re-assemble the loose parts into complete bicycles. We understand that it will be difficult in remembering exactly where the right parts were placed. Like a mechanical jigsaw puzzle (or several mixed together), and without a picture of what the finished product should look like.
Reorganizing and just moving parts around may be a daunting task, even if there is plenty of outdoor space to separate stuff.
Seems like among those parts, one might find an interchangeable skewer (spring part) for a quick-release axle on a rear wheel?
