Bike price?

[tricycling]

Ok... I just want to ask for some opinions...
My bike is not for sale so I didnt put it under that topic and I didnt know where else to put it...

Ok, I would appreciate if you took some time to give me your opinion. I was thinking about selling my Road bike but I am not sure for how much.... can you give me your opinion on the price?

Ok, I bought my Giant OCR3 in July of 04. I bought it for $599.99.
I put profile areo-stryke areobars ($115.99) and SPD pedals (About $45). about 450-500 miles on it. Great condition. Everything works fine, no creaks. Shifter/breaks everything, great condition. Never had any problems. Minor scratch on top tube from leaning it on a wall (Stupid me!) but overall, wonderful bike, works great.

What price do you think I could set it at that someone will by it? I want to sell it as close to what I bought it for.... I am also including the SPD pedals and aerobars.

I want to sell it so I can get a nice tri bike.

What do you think?

THANK YOU!

$500 would be very decent, maybe a bit more. If I had cash I would take it myself at that price.

Well I will try about 400.. inbetween.
Thinking about selling it to get a specialized transition elite :) :) :) I work at a bike shop, we were tlaking about it. plus can get a decent price. Thanks for all the opinons... anymore?

heck for $400 I'd try like heck to buy it - depending on the size! I'm only 5'2"

5'2 perfect... small frame.
I figured that i would put it on the floor that the bike shop I work at.... without a price tag. Who ever is interested, ill ask what their offer is and judge...
Considering that what i paid for it and what i put into it is about $800 so I think 400-450 should be ok.

I sold it! Yesterday! $450. Not that bad considering how much I thought it was going to sell for at the beginning. Now I am a lot closer to my 2005 Specialized Transition Elite. :)
