Maybe not the right place but hopefully someone can help.
I have a 56cm Leader 736 frame with probably 150 miles on it. Any thought on how much I should sell it for?
Thanks

So is 350 unreasonable for frame/fork/seatpost/seat and handlebars (I am keeping the stem)

I don't know Leader frames... I see a new leader 735 frame on Ebay for a Buy it Now of $100 How does the 736 compare? Is it worth twice as much, or about the same quality of frame with a different geometry?

You mention an additional fork, seat post, seat and handlebar... and for that the answer is "It depends."

If high end, a nice fork, seat post, seat and handlebar will be worth more than $350 by themselves... If they are very low end items, then they are probably not worth the extra shipping if the purchase isn't local.

Thanks for the advice. I think I will start at 400 and go from there cause the frame cost me 220 and you can't find it in a 56cm. Fork was 170, headset was 20, bars were 25, seat post was 30 so that makes..465.

So you're asking almost new price for used items , you should really aim lower especially since its an alu frame.

I probably will if I don't get any bites on it.
