Don't speak about my man Craig like that! Craigslist has come through for me so many times on good deals - my car, motorcycle, a job, a Spot single speed bicycle, my Lambretta (TV175 - holy grail of scooters).
You need a full list of bike parts to get your price. You need to have the size listed there. I think Clems and most Rivendells have a high resale value. Also do contact The Pro's Closet. Their office is like a mountain bike museum. They have the most amazing collection of vintage mountain bikes and have sold Rivendells before. I think they'd be into it. I am passively looking for a Clem Smith Jr. in the 45 cm / 26 inch size for my S.O. on the East Coast. Good luck! Your bike is nice and it will sell.
