ticket2ride Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 Chaps, Looking for some advice on what my bike is worth? It's done nothing as is effectively like a new bike! I need to sell it on as we're moving house and it's never getting used. Any ideas on fair rate for it? I've tried £2600ish which, for what is effectively a new bike, I thought was quite fair! (knowing how hard it is to find untrialed secondhand trials bikes!!)....not much interest though? Where should I be with it? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pindie Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 I'd say it's worth as much as a buyer will pay. Even unused bikes age and people are wary of claims of "little use". You need to get people to see it. Try taking it to a local trial to show it off with a for sale sign on. Park it up by the organisers location and see if that helps. Another option is ask a trials bike shop to sell it and give them some commission. This way it is not in the way while you move? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ticket2ride Posted June 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 Yes, I'm with you on the 'see it' aspect. Taking down to BVM is an option - time permitting. Quite a trek though for us. For £2k, I'll probably leave it in the garage as that will work out at something like £300 per ride!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ticket2ride Posted June 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 That's your problem, not the buyers £1800-£2000 Not a problem, a position! As it's so clean probably worth hanging on to it and trying to get a ride out on it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pindie Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 I'd keep it if I only used 4 times a year for the next 10 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrensn Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 If its mint, I would say you should get more than £2k, there are shed loads of battered bikes out there and in my experience people will pay more for an as new bike regardless of its year. I would wait for the right buyer rather than give it away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bikespace Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 In 3 years it will still be worth about 1500 I suppose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
