I have no idea what the used bike market will bear in your area. I do know that you
would have trouble selling that bike here for that price, and in general, you do get
more money selling individual parts than complete bikes....a curious phenomenon that
has held true for many years around here. It is also a lot more complex and painful
process, dealing with many sales and buyers.
If you can get someone to pay you 600 bucks plus for it, more power to you, but like
I said, 600 bucks buys a lot of bike around the SF Bay area.
This one sold for 600 dollars even about a month ago. I know this because I bought it.
Again, as I have now stated at least twice, pricing is relative to the area in which
you are selling, and your ability to present to an audience of buyers. It is entirely
probable you know what's going on in Seattle better than do I.
