Advice on value of 2nd hand bike

[Jason.T]

My girlfriend wants to sell her bike as she no longer has the time to ride it plus she's not as keen on cycling as I am

It's a 2011 scott speedster s35

Any idea what sort of prise I should be looking for

(Apologies if I've posted this in the wrong place wasn't sure where to post)

Depends on where you advertise it ... £300 -£400 ... depending on condition.

Just had a quick look ... £499 new 2011 version

Thanks that's around what I was thinking

Apart from 2 very minor marks (you would have to look very hard to see them) the bike is mint

Needs new bar tape as it's a little dirty so will probably change that before selling just to make it look that much better

What someone looking to buy is looking to pay, £300-350 seems about right. Ebay will give you the largest audience but 10% seller fees. Only take cash for the bike, not Paypal

The size of the bike will of course determine the size of the potential audience

Pretty bike

I don't really want to sell it cos I really like it and would use it myself to commute to work and keep my carbon in front of the heater out of the rain

But she's having none of it, she wants it sold

 

[vickster]

Buy it off her?

Shared bank account so that won't work but I like your thinking

It's a nice looking bike. Why do you want to keep your carbon bike out of the rain may i ask?

Ha ha Just being a little sarcastic

My bike is worth a lot more so would of used hers through the winter months

I like my bike pristinely clean, I did ride it through the winter of course but washed it after every ride

Friend of our got the same for £250 last year, a nice little bike it is as well.

Tell her from me no time is a very poor excuse.
