I have two bike that I am looking to sell to change for a cyclocross.

2014 Boardman Road Pro Carbon XL and a 2013 Specialized Rockhopper XL. Where is the best bet, ebay, gumtree? What sort of price would I be looking to recuperate?

eBay, List it as buy it now, for the highest price others sold for recently .
