I won this bike about 5 years ago. I'm a little too tall for it, so I just rode it twice since winning it, and it's been in the garage ever since. There's no rust, and I filled up the tires and took it on a test ride and it rode fine, though probably needs some sort of tuneup. I'd like to sell it, though don't know what to ask. It's a Mongoose DH 2.5 from around 2004. Below is a pic, thank you for any suggestions.

Not much. This was a department-store bike and probably retailed new for $200 - $250. You could tune it up and list it on Craiglist for $100 and see what happens.

Yeah 100 is close. It actually retailed for like 129.99 for most of it's retail life.

Also, you're asking in the wrong section, this is Hybrid bicycles...that aint a hybrid bike (pretty sure, anyway.)
