It's not a screaming deal, but I think it is a fair price for a frame that is still a proven performer. For perspective, this year I sold my '00 Big Hit frame with:
'Shark fin' disk adapter...
FSA ISIS bottom bracket...
E-type XT front derailleur...
RST Alfalfa 6" dual crown fork w/integrated stem & Bontrager Crowbar XXX bars...
FSA headset...
30.9 Titec 'Big Al' seatpost...
for$300 on e-bay. Basically, I let it go with all the stuff that would not go on my new frame. And I felt good about getting that much.
Don't feel taken. It is still (IMHO) a good design that makes an excellent first FS ride.
