The bicycle is a Cygnet made by the Stoddard Manufacturing company that later produced Stoddard Dayton Automobiles. Your bicycle was made in the late 1890's and is quite valuable.
 
What's the value to sell to a collector to restore?or should I have it restored?I fell into this blindly and am just looking for direction.Thanks
 
The value of the bike is highest just as it sits. It is very rare and even cleaning it incautiously can lower its value.
 
Thanks for your info RMS37,I just looked up the Stoodard Cygnet on line,the Pryor Dodge Collection has one.Its from 1898.I may have finaly found something worth more than the gas it cost to get it.Who can I get to apraise it?or is there a bicycle aution you would recommend?Thanks Again

You might want to revise your listing...Showing that the purchase is covered by PayPal, and then saying no PayPal in the listing, is confusing and will turn off potential bidders. I'm also wondering why you won't accept PayPal...I understand it's a local pickup only item, but let's say the person who buys it can't get there for awhile, but they want to make sure they pay within the terms of the auction..You aren't allowing them to do that. Another potential turn off to bidders.
 
Im new at Ebay ,I couldnt figure out how to take the Paypal off? The reason for no Paypal is a friend of mine warned me about how he was was scammed out of a $3500 item by a Paypal chargeback,He sent his item ,The buyer did a chargeback thru his credit card,Paypal contacted him for the $3500 back or they would ruin his credit,He got back another item other than his! Total loss for him that he couldn't afford.I check the seller boards on Ebay and they confirmed the scam does happen.So I will deliver this bike in person in the lower 48 states or you can pick it up,or i will meet you half way,payment of cash due upon delivery.No scams for you or me. It don't get no more solid that .Plus the Paypal fees plus the Ebay fees are crazy.I usally sell on craiglist,But I thought the Ebay exsposer would be good for this bike and it has.Regards Bill 219-462-0420
