BMX - Redline- New Old Stock

I was talking to an aquaintance today (actually he's from Ireland and he speaks with a Brougue accent) and he said he found a new bike, still in it's original carton and plastic packaging. It was out by a dumpster.
He said he was trying to sell it or at least give it away.

I asked him what does the sticker on it say and he said "Redline".

I told him that if it's a Redline, it's probably a four hundred dollar ($400) bike.

Am I right? I recall Redline as being a high-end BMX. I don't think Redline made any cheap bikes.

So this is a question of age/value, I'm not offering this bike for sale, I just want to know if you all agree with me that it's a $400 bike.

All I know is that when I was a teenager, I wanted a Redline but couldn't afford one.

It depends what it is.

I'd check for similar bikes on Ebay.

bike isn't worth anything...if your friend sends it to me, i'll make sure it gets disposed of properly

It matters the model...There are some bad redlines..

redline started makeing cheap bikes but still makes some higher ends.

Yeah, I get the picture. The name "Redline" was bought out (sold out) a few years ago.
You're right , Mude, there are cheap bikes being sold under the name Redline.

I originally told the guy it's worth $400, but I was thinking of the old redline, which only made quality race bikes.

I honestly haven't seen the bike, all I know is the frame says Redline on it.

Post pics.

I'll have to ask the man if I can see it, next time I see him. He said it was in the box when he found it, and it's still in plastic.

I'm thinking I should ask him if I can see it. If it is a high end model, I might offer him $75 bucks for it.
