I've bought and sold 2 complete running bikes, both wrecked and in need of maintenance(only made a couple hundred on each) 1 complete basket case to member "chief of smoke" (broke even) and the remaining huge pile/crate of parts that cheif's bike came from and made about $400.... so, don't plan on profiting much on one, but if you want something to tinker with and beat on a bit then sell for what you've got in it that seems doable in my experience. I kept buying them thinking maybe I could get the wife to ride them and then she never would and or I needed cash so I'd sell them. Fun little bikes though!
