This activity may not be kosher for 501c3 orgs. We had to take down a simple "for sale/wanted" webpage when we applied for IRS nonprofit determination because "the assets or income of the 501c3 cannot accrue to any individual."
On the other hand (and why I opened this post) we are VERY interested in others' experiences selling OUR bikes at for-profit bike shops that we partner with (they give us their useful take-off parts, and bikes donated by their customers)...

Has anyone looked into selling bicycles consignment at their shops? Or looked into it?
I'd love to hear what successes, issues, pitfalls, and/or barriers people have ran into.
We're brainstorming some ideas that would allow members (BBP has a yearly membership program that gives folks unlimited shop time for a year) to sell bicycles consignment through BBP.
Ride On!
