Need cheap pedals

Mike Rocket J Squirrel said:

I have a couple of bicycles that I want to sell locally. I tossed the
pedals they came with years ago and don't want to sell them with my good
pedals. The local shops don't have any throwaway platform pedals to sell
or give to me and the pair of inexpensive platform pedals that I bought
on eBay have a smaller spindle than the standard 9/16x20 thread the
cranks sport. Who's got a lead on two pair of throwaway platforms that
fit standard cranks?

Thanks!

The Xmarts usually have some resin pedals for under a tenner. Make
sure they're not 1/2" thread.

Your LBS does not have a case of $15 ~$20 pedals?
WTF?? Try an LBS which commonly services bicycles. These are a commodity.

My resin pedals lasted less than 6 months on my Schwinn Moab II
bicycle. I'd ratyher have NO pedals than a set of resin pedals, if
buying a used bicycle on craiglist ... They are worse than nothing,
imho.

A better choice is Performance which often has MTB "flat" rattrap
pedals in the $12.95 to $15.95 range, and the only plastic is the
dustcaps ... Some (wellgo) even come with removable face plates ...

Irrelevent! The last time I needed replacement cages, I simply got
cages from another pedal and widened / moved the hole to make my
replacement cages ...

Nashbar item NS-CGP, now $12.99 (before the "20% off any order"
promotion is factored in), is often $9.99 when there is no such
promotion (and, if you have a 10% code from a catalog, etc., it would
apply). IOW, beware Nashbar's pricing. policies.

I would have thought most LBS's would have a box of "take-off"
platform pedals that were removed when the customer upgraded pedals at
the time of purchase?

You can buy whole new pedal sets for $13. How long did it take you to take
cages from another pedal, widen/move the hole and assemble the parts (plus
the loss of value of the other, now cageless pedal).

What's the value of your time?

Exactly what I was hoping to find. Alas . . .

That's not too much less that I expect these bikes will sell for.
"Throwaway pedals" is the key word here. I don't want to throw the bikes
away. I regret having thrown away the pedals the bikes came with.

Do you have a hippie bike collective near you? Those places have bike
parts essentially free to good homes (even if there is a nominal
price).

Here are some $3/pr nylon pedals from an eBay store I've done quite a
bit of business with:
