Considering that there is no formal way to document used bike selling values other than for those that sell on ebay (and then does shipping cost get included?) my opinion having inspected some values in that Bluebook is that it is utterly worthless. Perhaps I simply live in an area where bikes are in demand but for the bikes I checked I'd say the real values are nearly twoce its estimates.
