That is just you prospective on what a bike is worth. The sellers prospective is that is worth what he/she is asking. Do you want a great bike or a bike that you can brag to your buddies about how cheap you got it?
What do you think you would pay for a frame in your exact size that you have been searching many years to find? My answer is that maybe I would pay more than the original retail for the bike.
