My fiance finally got a new HardRock and now we have the old bike sitting in the garage taking up space. I'd like to sell it for some new suspension fork money.
My question is what is it worth? Its a 97 Rockhopper, it is fully rigid, Alivio Components, gripshifts. We have replaced the seat and handle bars with more plush ones, so she didnt have to lean as far, though I have the original ones still. The bike is in good mechanical condition, though not *perfect*. It has quit a few scratches and one dent (not severe, maybe an inch long) on the frame.
I would like to get around 150 for it, but I am not sure how much it is worth. Its a good solid bike, runs very well, its pretty light (croMo frame), but has had some scratches in the past... any ideas?
Should I try and sell on ebay or locally? I plan to try local first then ebay if no luck. Thanks for any help yall.

Well.. not THAT good 😉 ... I also have to save money for a wedding and if its worth something, I'd like to sell it. If its not worth a significant amount though, I would probably find a friend who could use it and give it to them.

Like what 25 bucks? I have no clue where to start on this one... should I give it to charity?

that would feel good now wouldn't it? ;-)
But a little money would feel nicer, wouldn't it. $150 doesn't sound like an unreasonable starting point. Why not run an ad and see what happens. I wouldn't bother with eBay, personally I think the trouble of boxing it up and shipping it wouldn't be worth it. It might be a good place to see what similar bikes have sold for, though.

ISTR someone posted here a month or so ago saying they wanted a bike just like that one. You might want to try a google search - you might get an address and indeed lucky.

Now weddings, that's one place where way too much money is thrown away. A million people willing to take yer money.
