Selling a road bike in San Antonio
Permanent-change-of-station moves put entire households onto the market at once, usually in summer, and a family posted elsewhere will normally sell rather than pay to ship. That is where the best-value furniture and appliances come from.
The city is spread out and everything is collected by car, with easy parking almost everywhere. Distances are long but traffic is manageable compared with the other big Texas cities, so cross-town collection is realistic.
On household goods from a military move, ask when the family is leaving. A seller with a fixed departure date will usually take a sensible offer close to it, and both sides do better for the question being asked.
San Antonio, in Texas, has around 1.5 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Houston, Dallas and Austin are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in San Antonio
Peer-to-peer payment apps dominate private sales, and buyers will usually offer one before they offer cash. Sales tax does not apply to a private sale between individuals.

Working out what yours is worth

- Inspect the frame carefully around the bottom bracket and dropouts
Getting it ready
- Identify the groupset and its tier, which is printed on the derailleurs and shifters, and check the chain for stretch.
- Check the frame carefully for cracks, especially if carbon, and confirm both brakes and all gears work through their range.
