There actually nothing on eBay that I can see. It’s a Marin Lucas Valley hybrid

Post some details. how old is it, where is it located? Would you be prepared to courier etc
Probably £200-250 if older maybe?m
Google brings up a gumtree ad in Wales for £250 and an old Schpock ad at £200
Marin isn’t a very well known brand so won’t carry such a premium like the biggies

Bikes are selling really well at the moment and in my opinion fetching well in excess of pre-Covid prices.
Marin have been around since 1986 and are well regarded, it should sell quickly. My Marin Muirwoods is 20 years old and still going strong, great bike.
Post some pics and info and we can all advise.

Not a well known brand? In the late 80s and early 90s all the boys wanted a Marin, or perhaps an Orange or a Diamond Back, those were the more exotic and iconic brands of that time for those brought up on Raleigh bikes.

The millennials buying bikes for hundreds at the moment weren’t born in the 80s though and the old blokes who were won’t spend more than £50 on a bike
My point is look at how many Specialized, Trek, Giant, Cannondale, Boardman hybrids are for sale and sold nationally on eBay...and how many Marins...and how many Marin dealers there are in the UK vs those selling the above brands...

MArin is very well respected in my opinion. I sold a Marin hybrid a few years back on Ebay and it was snapped up

R to hanks for the replies so far.
So it’s a Marin Lucas Valley as above. Bought in 2016 brand new from Broadrib cycles. Used for the London to Brighton a month later then put away pretty much until Covid. It’s now done about 1k mikes and just had it’s first service. Alloy frame carbon forks and stays. Size is 20.5, all Sora.
Some pics to follow

Marins are certainly well known and well regarded by MTB'ers, being one of the original makes that brought them to the masses. I wouldn't turn down an 80's/90's 26" rigid one if it turned up at the right money, but they were always uncommon compared to the home-grown stuff.
