Truthfully, the $3,500 asking price was my going in, Craigslist starting price. A bit on the high side but not so high as to turn off interested parties. I'm also realistic and know that I'm not going to get back everything I've invested in farkles. I expected to be negotiated down but had a reasonable floor I would not go below. Overall, I'm pleased with the outcome. I took less than a 10% haircut off the asking price and the bike sold quickly to someone who will hopefully enjoy it as much or more than me.

Heck, I didn't even wash the bike before I sold it.

Well there you go, that wasn't so hard. Virtually your asking price, and if in any good negotiation you probably increased it by 500 to begin with.
