wolfie Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 Don't think it will be as much as that. £600 at the most i would of said. Is there any chance of a larger picture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigjames Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 its probably worth about £600, the frames are great but jump bikes genreally dont get great money second hand no matter what condition really :turned: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayneone Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 A trick someone at work told me is to put your item on ebay with a stupid reseve(or what you want for it) in your case lets say £2000 then put it on tell EVERYONE about it and let the bidding begin, If you get the reseve price your laughing becuase you sold it for what you wanted, but if you dont get the reseve price then you get a rough idea on how much its worth but they joy is you dont have to sell it.

Zoo_Monkey Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 ok here we go its in very good condition and has had little use i want to put it on ebay and want to put a fair reserve on it but thats the problem ive no idea what its worth! someone must no please help rule of thumb with mountain bikes of all sorts add up all the components costs, (eg £1000) halve it (eg. £500) and minus £10 for every month it its old (eg minis 6months = minus £60) which would be £440. nb: reserves on eBay suck, to sell put it as a "fixed price" auction with a "buy it now" of whatever you want for the bike. then set a starting bid of £50-£100-£150 cheaper to generate interest, then hopefully people will bid and somebody will use the buy it now to beat the bids etc...... but its really up to you - also where are you from im sure iv seen that bike around Barry (wales) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monty-adam Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 why not just put it on ebay for how much you would like for it e.g £500,£600,£700 then get your mate or someone to bid on it for you to get some interest the if it sells it sells if it dont youy want have lost much putting it on ebay (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
