Subject: [CR]Selling on Ebay?

I'm thinking of selling my PX-10 on Ebay. The frame is a touch smaller than I like, and it seems that every bike I take on I end up spending money on. If I could only persuade myself to own only one bike! The savings in tires alone would be worth it.

I've never sold a bike on Ebay, nor have I ever shipped a bike. Have people generally had good experiences? Should I have a bike shop box the bike, or should I just buy a bike box from the UPS store and box it myself? Are the chances good that I'll get a good price for it on Ebay, or am I going to end up with a winning bid of $25?

Any Ebaying advice would be apprecitated.
