Ive been going back and forth about trying to sell some higher quality custom bikes. And I guess Ill never know until I give it a try. I can always build another. I know this forum is mainly for the DIYer but possibly someone might be lurking about looking for a bike or might ask a member where they could get a great bike. Both of these bikes are slightly used.... If interested PM me. Any questions besides price please feel free to ask. I can deliver these within MA , RI , CT , Both have Ma. Registration.. Do not want to ship as these have been run and have fuel throught system...So up for sale are

Those Are very nice bikes. You might want to also list them on craigslist. I am sitting on four bikes right now and trying to sell at least 2 so I can build another.

Its a hard game when you have quality bikes, most people want cheap junk...I dont get it...
 
Chain your Panther is a very nice bike as well as the dx.We all know you have alot of money into these just by what we see....why no price? I think you would get a feel for what people would actualy pay.Custom bikes are hard to sell and I wish you good luck.How much for the beast(s)!
 
I concur with CCC... List 'em on Craigslist & list the price high! This way you can knock a couple hundred off for the customer & make him happy & still make good money! ;)
There are two types of buyers for these; 99% are the ones who have no money, & 1% are the ones who can afford a real nice toy... You're gonna sit back & wait for that 1% to find you!! ;)

The bikes look great but the economy is just killing most people out there. I collect and sell bicycles from the late 1800s to the 1940s and done good one some and been killed on others. You will have to be patient or may have to flex on them a bit. I agree with VMB on pricing them high so someone can feel they were able to deal but don't go too high and scare people away. Also, you have to list a price, I don't even call if they don't list a price. Good luck and I really like the bikes!
 
Both are beauties for sure ChainMan.

Will show your link to a buddy later today. He has been looking for some thing like your 1953 Schwinn Spitfire DX.
