So, been thinking about freeing up some cash for other bike goodies.

And been thinking about selling my medium TR450. Has had fairly light use over the years.

Genuinely curious as to what you guys reckon it is worth/what I could sell for it for.

Have seen some similar aged 26" DH bikes listed for $1200 - 2500. My thoughts were maybe somewhere around $1500....

Discuss.


Cheers,

JB.

Spec and pics dude...


...outside of covid, is say you're over the top by about 500-650. A 10 year old she bike doesn't have a strong sales pitch. That is 10 years of being belted down complicated and difficult trails.

Agreed outside of covid the price would be lots lower.

TBH probably only 5 years of use. A few times a year. Seemed like a good thing to spend money on at the time.

Exactly - I doubt anyone in the real world could tell the difference in stiction between K and standard anodising

Should be called Corn Flakes the way that stuff comes off the legs on some (not so old) Fox forks

They can tell he difference in how it looks...and looks is the important bit.

I’d reckon $1000-1100 complete. Could get a bit more split.
I’m basing that without a covid tax. All bets are off currently.
Could get ignored at $1000, or snapped up immediately at $1500.

That was my kind of thinking sans covid tax.

Strange times with covid. Would never think it was worth $1500,but you never know at the moment.

No, you sure don’t. If you’re selling though, might as well try now. Ask what you want, sans covid, and hopefully you’ll get what you want, without being lowballed and screwed around.

I recently sold my 2011 Glory, in pretty good condition, for $900, but it took a couple of weeks to go.

I then saw it relisted on Gumtree and Facebook a couple of weeks later for $2500, was quickly reduced to $2100 and then disappeared. Can only assume it got sold with a good profit in there for someone!

So if you're not in a hurry, why not advertise it for $2k and see who bites.
