price for a used frame?
I'm looking at an 03 Giant OCR frame on eBay. It looks good in the pic, is my size and the description says "only a few superficial scratches." It comes with a headset and FD but no fork. Any idea what a decent price would be? It's currently at $41 shipped.

I paid $117 for an aluminum OCR 3 frame this past fall. It came with the fork and a headset but no derailer. Without a fork I'd say no more than $100 if its less than 2 years old. You'll have to buy a fork and that would be $50 on eBay so take than into consideration. Personally, I wouldn't go more than $75 plus shipping if its aluminum, but I'm cheap.

less than $100. To put it in perspective, I got my 05 TCR carbon frame with a fork and headset in nearly new shape for $550 shipped. Not in the same ballpark exactly, but if you pay more than $100, and then buy a fork, you should have just bought a CAAD
