Default Best way to advertise a bike for sale?

I'm trying to sell a brand new Surly Long Haul Trucker Touring bike and was wondering if you guys could point me in the direction of some decent bike forums. I've got it on Craigslist and a local forum, but that's it so far.

Any other suggestions for selling the touring bike? It's a great bike, it just doesn't fit my needs. Like I said, it's a brand new, never ridden Surly Long Haul Trucker touring bike.

Thanks.
S.

eBay with only "local pickup" as a delivery option?

One thing I noticed on craigslist, it tends to work better to delete after a bit and re-put up. For people who do CL on rss feeds and stuff, there's times it won't be seen when it goes up, be it either people only skim or aren't looking for your particular thing, and will notice it later. We've usually put things up and taken them down like a week later to put them up again.
But no, don't know of much else that hasn't been mentioned. *shrug* If you live near a campus, old fashioned paper signs might work.

does your LBS do anything with consignments or a bulletin board "for sale"?

I would use CraigList, in the closest metro area that works for you.
