I'll usually give them a range for different types of bikes and if they are really interested then, I will tell them what I paid for mine

I get a laugh right now - cause I have a scooter (chinese, used, 50cc) with a motor and everything that I paid $500 for and this is just a drop in the bucket when I compare it to the non-motorized road bikes/mountain bikes/ and even cross bike sitting in my garage!
