What's my bike worth?

[smokeysmoo]

I know this is a how long is a piece of string type question, but circumstances could dictate that I might sadly have to sell my beloved CAAD10

Now I am a realist, so as such you won't offend me with your opinion as I do realise my emotional attachment isn't worth a flip to anyone else.

So on it's own merit what do folk reckon?

Cannondale CAAD10 DA
Dura Ace mechs
Dura Ace shifters
Dura Ace calipers
Halo Aerorage wheelset (almost new)
Ultegra grey double chainset (almost new)
Ritchey WCS bars, stem and seatpost
KMC chain
Carbon cages
Spesh Romin saddle
Gatorskins

This pic is out of date as far as the chainset, wheelset and saddle goes TBH, but you get the idea.

After selling everything bike related i found people to be quite un realistic about what things are worth. I was lucky to get half the amount i paid for everything i sold.

Breaking the bike was alot more cost effective than selling the whole thing in one go. It may have cost a bit more in postage but people seemed to be willing to pay more for single items than the whole set. Someone always wants one thing or another to up grade or replace what they have. Hate to diss the fine CC community but them people over on Bike Radar are animals and will buy the rug from under your feet. Unfortunately you will also get some muppett offers that you have to laugh off ! Flea Bay as you know comes with its pit falls seller fees paypal fees idiot mails with insulting offers if they pay cash blah blah blah .

Can i ask why your selling mate i know you love your ride ? If its a private reason then fair enough.

Gorgeous bike though no doubt about that.

Funny that, others have had problems in the past but I thought it was sorted.

I'll have a look.

Yeah I've done this before but while saying goodbye to this bike would be heartbreaking, taking her apart would be a killer, (but may be a necessary evil)

It is ATM pal

[QUOTE 2482604, member: 30090"]I'd say around £1000 - £1200. But realisticly would someone be willing fork out that much money for a second hand bike?[/quote]


Yes! The absolute amount is not relevant, what is relevant is the price relative to what it would cost to acquire the same bike brand new.

The plot thickens, especially as we've 'spoken' many times.

I tweaked some settings earlier that I thought would have cracked it, I'll have another look.
