- mechanical condition
- location
- time of year
- local market comparables
Those GREATLY affect price and BB only takes 'condition' into account. Its absurd to rely on such a simple and inaccurate website at this point in time. Its 2017- time for archaic and inaccurate website like this to die off.
Another thing that is tough to add in is what is hot and what is not... also relative scarcity of the bike.
So, Bike Friday bicycles tend to hold their values pretty well as their aren't a lot of them around, and changes from one year to another are minimal.
Titanium still has a following, so I'd presume your Litespeed falls in the same category, although as mentioned, 9s and 10s Ultegra is a bit passe.
