How to price bikes you're selling

I think you'll make more money by selling the parts separately than building up a "mongrel" bike - they're always difficult to advertise.

The market for bike parts on eBay is so liquid that I usually just throw an auction up starting at £1 with no reserve.  I'm rarely disappointed with the final price and often pleasantly surprised.

Look at the completed listings on Ebay

This will give you an idea of how much your stuff will go for and will show you how much the unsold stuff was priced at

Dont worry about pricing stuff too high as you can always drop prices or be open to offers

Just because you can buy something brand new from a retailer cheaper dosent mean your item wont sell

Some people are too lazy to check for the cheapest price and just dont think to check elsewhere

I suppose the 'market' will tell you. I'd say half the the prices of the used stuff to start with (at the very least) and then see what offers you get. If it's a bit slow you might have to take the price down in increments until you get a bite.

The groupset is a tricky one; CRC are selling a new Tiagra 10 speed groupset for £270 (47% off  according to them). You'll have to beat that. Winter is coming up though; good time to sell.

For the record, I've sold loads of bikes and bits via scumtree, FB etc. Quite often I've been lucky to get 30% of the original price (and that's after just 1-2 years depreciation). Ask too much and you'll wait forever to sell it. Ask for too little and you'll get burned,

It's a buyers market.
