I sure hope we aren't all making our buying decision based on "what people might want to buy used in 3 years."
WTF? People sell their bikes? Say it ain't so!
I just keep my bikes. From time to time I will go out to my bike shed with a couple of beers and just stare at my bikes. I remember all the good times on them, examine various details, fantasize about developing my dream bike of various types, imagining how I'd build my own steel, ali or carbon bikes, where I could expand my bike shed to make a bike manufacturing facility to make one off bikes for myself. Or I'll make up some bits for one of them, knowing I won't actually ever ride that bike again but it will look nicer with the new part.
At my place, I'm am the last person to buy the bikes in my shed. I can't imagine why anyone would want to sell a bike, other than the guy at the bike store that sells them for a living.
