We Buy Bikes

We’ll Buy Your Old Bike

Our shop takes in bicycles of any condition as a donation. We also buy used bikes as well. Incoming bikes are tagged to be stripped of all reusable parts or tagged to be rebuilt and resold.

We will take any bicycle, regardless of condition as a donation. Bring it to us instead of the dump if you can.

We will take your old bike as a trade in towards a new or used one at the shop.

How Much Do We Pay?

Think lawn sale towards the end of the day.

Department Store Bikes: $5-10
Name Brand Bikes: $10-40

I have paid up to $100 for a few bikes. All subject to their condition and the economic status of the shop. If you have a functioning bicycle and want to get the most money out of it you can, you’re better off selling it directly through craigslist or an ad in the paper. If you’d like to move it out of your life because it doesn’t fit or is taking up space give me a call.You don’t need to call ahead to bring a bike over to sell, but if you do call first I will try and give you a rough idea of what I’d pay for it.

How Does It Work and What Should I Bring?

Because we’d like to avoid buying stolen bikes, there are a few procedures we may insist on before buying a used bike:

We’ll need to check some form of picture ID.
We’ll take a picture of you and the bike you are selling.
We’ll take payment by check.

Donations

We accept bicycle donations on the behalf of Freedom Machines. This non-profit provides free bicycles for people in addiction recovery. Your bicycle donation will be “bought” by Johnson and Son Bikeworks and we will “pay” Freedom Machines for it in the form of store credit that they use to buy needed new parts at cost from us.
