If its a marsbar  colour scheme, remember it needs £400 to £500 for a re-spray to an acceptable colour. Peoples opinions differ on the value of these bikes, but when your riding one, its a priceless experience! What does amaze me, there is a urinal with a signature on, on its back, and that piss stone is "valued" at £4m. So, one mans toilet is another mans treasure, just like Harleys. "What its worth" is personal  |

If the LC is as good as you say it is, I would be thinking round about £5 grand.  I have seen heaps with 3.5k price tags. (Not heaps as in lots, but heaps as in sheds  And I've seen heaps in sheds too! |

Prices seem to be all over the place the last 6 months.
Yes there are bikes advertised for 6k but they've been advertised for 6 months and they're still sitting there, I could advertise mine for 9k but its not worth it.
I've been watching the market since summer last year and I viewed half a dozen bikes, all of them were overpriced in my opinion, the owners valued them at 3.5k but the buyers obviously didn't because I watched the price drop and drop. In the end I saw a fair few bikes at <2k and still not moving. There were a few on ebay in April/May at less than 2k for reasonable, original-ish non-matching numbers LC's, not dogs either, and they still didn't appear to be selling, I saw them relisted at least once.
Bikes with 3L1 frames weren't moving at all, you couldn't give them away, I saw a really tidy one at £1750 and the bloke told me he had recent receipts for over 2k's worth of work, but he hadn't had a single serious offer in 2 months.
My bike is worth 3k to me, thats probably what it owes me now, but if I wanted to sell it quickly I reckon I'd have to advertise it at less than 2k to shift it in a reasonable time, people just don't seem to be spending the money.
