Help with age/sell price of Campagnolo Centaur groupset
Hi all.
I was using this group on an older bike, but decided it's not for me (going back to a friction shifting 12 speed set up). I bought the group for AUD100 about a year ago. As you can probably tell, the parts haven't had much use. With a bit of cleaning they would look near new. I am now considering selling the group on ebay and have a few questions that hopefully somebody can help me with. Firstly, should i sell as a bundle or separate? secondly, how old do you think these parts are (i'm thinking about 06-07)? Finally, and most importantly, what is the value? I think i got quite a good deal at $100.
Here are some photos:
Shifters
BB
Rear derailleur
Front
Crankset

Brakes
I apologise for the poor photography. I also have the cassette; but not the hubs, chain, headset or pedals from the original group.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Cheers

That looks like a Centaur group from 2001 or 2002 if that's any help. It might be a bit later, but I'm pretty certain it's not nearly as recent as you indicate. I don't get involved with pricing.

Wow that old? I guess you might be right, centaur was introduced in 2001 I believe, and they started selling 10 speed groups in 2000.Thanks for the info

I don't know if the group was introduced in 2001 or just received it's name that year. It's immediate predecessor was named "Daytona" but Chrysler had copywrited that name and Campy chose not to contest their complaint. So the first "Centaur" group was just a renaming of the previous Daytona.

Centaur came out in Campy's 2002 model year...prior to that it was known as Daytona.
Your bottom bracket if it is from the years you state would be a Veloce/Mirage model or else it is a pre-2006 ACH/Centaur model.
The brake calipers do not have the original pads as Centaur had cartridge pads and holders since its debut.
The rest of your stuff is hard to date from the pictures shown and for many of the years there were not many big changes for Centaur from year to year.

Ok, yeah I've been looking through a f few catalogues and i'm surprised by how similar they are from year to year. Any suggestion on a price? I have no idea... Maybe i should repost in C&V appraisals?

Not bicycle mechanics shuold be re classed. Just like Campy changed the original name on this less groupe frome Daytonna to Centouar. Really only $150 if everyting is solid and works nice. Me I would pay half that.

Price will depend on what the market will bear where you are selling them. You may find someone that is willing to pay 200AUD for them or you may find someone who is only willing to pay 75AUD for them. I think, if the parts are in the condition you stated, that you could at least make your 100AUD back. Check places like ebay and craigslist to get an idea for what similar age parts are selling for....on ebay you can pull up completed listings to help you zero in on a target price.
