The simple fact that its just a hardtail drops the value considerably. Yes, for that period in time it was a quality level C-Dale. But dang, I bet that bike is 15-18 yrs old. The best part about this bike is that the front fork has been gone through by Mendon Cyclesmith. That guy is a wiz with Leftys and HeadShox. Have you considered trying to locate something around here and shipping it to him? I wonder if a better solution could be had that way? But here's another philosophical point I like to tell "new riders": By being the family-neighborhood-friend's "bike guy" people always ask me what I think about the price of this bike or that bike. Of course, I'll give them feedback and my opinion, however, I also tell them another way to think about it. Example: if your bro talks this C-Dale guy down to $400, buys it and then it sits in your bro's garage un-ridden for a year....then he paid WAY TOO much for that bike. But if he went over there and paid $750 for that bike ($50 over asking price), and he spent the next year or so riding the wheels off of it. Then he got a GREAT deal on the bike! Matt, I know you understand these things, so this isn't really directed towards you. But I do think about it when I end up giving people my opinions of bike values. Especially those people who are sorta getting started in the 'good bike' realm. Cheers -CJB I price bikes as 20% off MSRP than 15%/year. A 15 year old bike is worth about 9% of the original MSRP Edited October 24, 2018 by crazyt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridenfool Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 (edited) Shouldn't they be looking for applicants with a non-criminal background? Though I suppose that clean criminals deserve a chance to make it in the honest world, why go looking for them specifically as potential employees? If they are hiring them to deliver pizza at least they are looking for those criminals with good hygiene, and the ability to ride that E-bike like they stole it.

mack_turtle Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 I can't sell anything on Craigslist because Bike Farm and a few other "dealers" keep posting all of their bikes on the "for sale by owner" page. Or I am trying to sell stuff that no one wants. You be the judge! Seriously though, when I see 30 different listings with photos of bikes taken on the exact same background, that's not "for sale by owner." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
