Let me know what I should be asking for!

 

[Acadian]

you could ask in the Buy and sell forum?

Search on ebay for like speced bikes.

 

[MikeD]

With the price of some of the new bikes these days, I'd be shocked if you got more than $700 US for it. Just being realistic...

(then again, the MSRP of 05 Specializeds may work in your favor...)

 

[The Kadvang]

Yeah... its real hard to sell an old bike for what it 'should' be worth. Like MikeD said, probably around 700-800.

 

[Ciaran]

You may get more $$$ selling the parts indivdually rather than the whole bike at once. Search ebay for comperable products and prices.

 

[MikeD]

I think it's good that it's a small, though...well-used bikes have a ready market in grom-size. Then again, selling them can be a pain...you'll have 6 people begging to 'hold it for them' while they all fail to get the money together.

Take what you can and run; it's only going to lose value, and it's only worth what people will pay.

Right on the Money$$

I completely took apart my Santa Cruz Chameleon and got roughly $1000 for it. If I would have sold it as a complete bike I would have been lucky to get $700.

 

[cali4niabiker]

You'll probably get around 400 if lucky for your frame. The whole bike will be around 700 shipped. It is better to part out old bikes since most older parts tend to be more value as a replacement source for most bikers out there. Don't ever let people get you to "hold" item(s) for them b/c that way you can get screwed when the parts depreciate.

Just my $0.02.
