I was curious as to how much you think this bike is worth now...as i am pretty much looking to get rid of it

 

[xtremedoritoes]

$50.00 ?

 

[Silenttoxic]

the rims alone are worth almost 3x that... i was hoping for an opinion of someone who knows bikes

 

[brycexlighthall]

Recycle the metal. Or sell it on craigslist for under $100.

 

[grom-dom]

$75 if you're lucky. it's really outdated.

throw it on craigslist

 

[xtremedoritoes]

6 years old dude. Given the depreciation and the fact that Nirve doesn't make BMX bikes anymore, i doubt you'll get more than 75 like grom-dom stated.

the bike itself is very very outdated. But look at where you're asking the question. I bet all of us here are way more tuned to the new hot bikes and what they are going for. You can probably get a better deal if you sell this to someone who knows nothing about bikes, which is the obvious thing to do.

 

[Silenttoxic]

so what ur basicly saying is im gonna get the same amount of money as it costs for a new wal-mart bike...that dosnt sound right

 

[.Pit Steelers.]

Yep that's what everyones saying, it's 6 years old who cares if you never used it that doesn't take away from the fact that it's 6 years old and like stated above this compnay is no longer in the bike biz.

 

[ServeEm]

yea the direction bmx is at, the weight would scare the avg rider. Keep the bike and give it to your kid if you have one or save it till you have one.

I see you have worked in sales.

 

[jonKranked]

Unfortunately, everyone is pretty much right. You'll be lucky to get 20% of what you invested in it.

Bikes depreciate in value just like cars.

 

[Silenttoxic]

lol alright guys thanks, i probably will just end up keeping it...its not like its a horrible bike or anything, its real good for down hilling and all that but i was just curious what i would be able to get for it...

maybe i would get more if i tried to sell it in pieces?

maybe i would get more if i tried to sell it in pieces?

nope. there is not any part on there that you could sell for decent cash. it's completely outdated. everything in bmx right now is light light light and you caught the tail end of the 'heavy duty' trend. plus nirve was never even a remotely cool brand. a heavy ass next generation s&m holmes MIGHT catch some money on craigslist for a collector. like this one http://austin.craigslist.org/bik/712904330.html . . . . but still that guy is NEVER gonna get $600 for it.

SOLUTION: just ride it and have fun. OR buy a new school frame and switch all the parts. it'll still be heavy, and you still can't sell it, but you'd shave off about 4 pounds.
