Hi Sheldon, Put it up before Christmas with a reserve. Ebay can be pretty slow between Christmas an New Years, and most people are in financial recovery mode in January. Before Christmas is probably your best bet until spring. I would suggest including the original broken rear derailleur, as it's dated.
