Bike Prices in General

[looey]

Am I just tight or is the country just full of optimists/jokers who seem to think everything they're selling is worth double what it really is ?.

Everything I'm interested in (particularly bikes on a certain auction site) seem to have sellers who want double what they're worth. It's no coincidence I don't think that they seem to remain for sale forever and a day

Now I recently sold quite a nice bike on said site that I thought was worth £1,295 or thereabouts and within a day or so accepted an offer of £1,200. Since selling I've been inundated with offers of the asking price, so with hindsight might've sold it too cheap ;D ;D.

WTF .

Prices are all over the shop at the moment, I don't get it either there is no consistancy.

I put my mk1 on the site starting bid of 1200 and I didn't get a bid but lots of emails ,yesterday a guy from Surrey emails me after the mk1 just sold it for over2k also had it on gumt** now the weather has got hotter I think you might get your prices

A bike is worth what people are happy to pay for it so if you put it up and let it run with no reserve the price it gets is what its worth . No more you can put it up again and again I’ve seen it happen and they get to the same price . just because you think its worth a grand more doesn’t mean its so .

Just like this (not that I'm interested in it in the slightest)

Just when did Brazilian R models start being worth the best part of £4k

They aren't and won't be for years, it won't sell for anywhere near that price for sure.
