half price sounds about right, but be prepared to be haggled down to a third of what you paid.

Inland Revenue values them at 25% of retail after one year. Anything above that is a bonus.
That said, it's a good spec and looks in beautiful condition...I'd aim for 40-50%

Its tidy..I got 600 for a mint marin wolf ridge 6.8 which I bought in 2012 and sold in 2013...
value rrp was 2300 I paid 1399..yes it was new 09 bike in 2012 , I could have got more if I sold it for parts etc but I couldn't be arsed with shitty ebay fees and papal legging..
so 50% would be a good price guide but its old in mtb terms as 12mth is old hat for the must have crowed..
Qr fork omg my mate wont talk to me if I have that..lol so its worth what someone will pay ,oh and be prepared for complete numpties offering you an amazing part ex deals for their heap of poo or just iritating offers of 100quid ..

Yes - if you look, you can find an option which displays past sale prices. I used that when researching smartphone prices and realised that the ones I was looking at were overpriced. I waited a week and got the same model £40 cheaper!

IIRC the list price of that in 2010 was just over £700. It looks like it's in good original condition, and I reckon half price would be about right.... you may get more on eBay, but by the time you've paid seller fees and Paypal have bent you over for their fees, you'll clear the same amount.
