Suggested Price Please

[Richard Bates]

I have decided to sell one of my three bikes. It has been hanging up in the garage, untouched
(blush) for more than a year.

It is a Peugeout Performance 2000 CrMo frame Noname wheels Ofmega 52/42 chainset Shimano 7spd 14-28
freewheel Noname brakes Noname saddle Noname bars Noname stem Sachs mechs Downtube shifters

What would be a sensible asking price?

Love and 20 quid from Rich xx

So you don't rate the NoName groupset highly?

Perhaps my best bet is to fit a NoName luggage rack and flog it to a student next September?

Seriously, the problem you've got nowadays is that you can buy a nice bike with Shimano bits and
named other bits for bugger all. Your bike will undoubtably be worth something and your best bet is
to perhaps sell it to a student. The price will be what somebody is willing to pay. Top tip is to
sell it with lights, mudguards and a rack - ready to roll.

Assuming that means year 2000 and bike cost less than £300 new........

> What would be a sensible asking price?

After getting it in full working order* and polishing to a brilliant sheen, I would advertise it in
the local paper for £95 and expect to be haggled down. If no takers, then try re-advertising at £65.
But if bike is in less than good condition, just flog any good bits on eBay/u.r.c and bin the rest,
or "give it away" for £30.

If these prices seem high, then note that I sold several bottom of the range steel-wheeled
1980's "racers" for £60 each over ten years ago. A tube of metal polish and a can of Halfords
spray paint does the trick If these prices seem low, then welcome to the sad world of
Bicycle Depreciation :-(

* Gears and brakes nicely adjusted is usually all that's required. But replace any parts (with
second-hand ones) that are completely worn out or look very tatty.

Stakes are too high for me.
