Selling huge pile of bikes

I'm going to be moving it seems and I have a huge pile of bicycles. I'm planning on taking some with me as I need them for my shop but the majority are up for grabs.
I figure I'll sell them off for 20-40 bucks for a truck load, what ever you can cram in your truck/van.
I know bikes very well and I'm going to be cherry picking the 25% or so that I'm taking for my business. The rest is mostly low end stuff, great for parts or building customs, tall bikes etc.
Don't contact me asking if I have this kind of bike or that one, I don't have time for individual requests.
Most of the road bikes are gone, no vintage bmx, no sting-rays, schwinns etc, I'm taking those with me.
You'll have to make an appointment in the MORNING to come look at this stuff, night time is no good. Don't flake out on me or come to tire kick or pull out one or two frames, I'd rather just push it all to the curb than be bothered then. I work 11-6 every day but Monday, you'll need to be here and be done with your load by 10:30 am. This means you should be here by 8 am at the latest.
Here's my e-mail rev106@yahoo.com
Here's my phone (leave a message, it's not a cell phone) 818 881-6669
thanks

Don't know. But some theif has got my comings and goings down and I've been getting robbed every week for the last month. My landlord needs to sell the house so I was going to have to look for new digs soon anyway. Best come early and get the best stuff. Loads of tires, rims, and parts as well.

Ha, what a pile!
If you can't give them all to someone who's interested, we should get a U-Haul and go dump the remainder on the lawn of the LA City Transportation Chief guy who drives the Hummer.

Sorry about the thefts Paul.
Is there something we can do?
Make Atomic Cycles a stop/starting point for valley rides?
I bet someone with a trailer/motorhome would be willing to stay in your parking lot in exchange for utilities.
When you move your business takes a hit .

I'm moving from my home, that mess is my backyard. The shop will stay right where it is.
Thanks for the concern though.
I have way more crap than I need, best to get it in the hands of other bike people that want some fodder to build stuff.

I've seen smaller piles of bikes in campus police impound lots! Your landlord must hate you! I know I'd come get frames and then never do anything with 'em or else I'd be all over this offer.
Franz, didn't I see you driving a truck once? If you'll go pick up a truckload, I'll pay for it. Assuming we can keep stuff at bikerowave for building tall bikes and sidecar bikes and such, this seems like a treasure trove we can't pass up. But my schedule doesn't sync up with rev106's schedule at all, so I can't be there in person.

In other words, I've been collecting all kinds of bicycles since the 90's. Long before I had the shop and long before road bikes were hip. One time I threw out a 12x12x5 foot high pile of just road bikes. I did not need them, I still worked for LAUSD. It was about 50 bikes...So the pile is years, over a decade of bicycle love. It's time to share that love.

I think this done. I read somewhere that the unsold bikes were sold as scrap metal. Call Atomic Cycles in the valley to be certain.
