Giant yukon value?
Hey guys. Just bought a giant yukon at pawn shop for 65 w tax. It has 200gs shifters is purple. Chromoly fork aluminum frame. Everything works fine. For its age its okay couple little scratches throughout all light though. I would think they coulf be buffed out. Any idea on value? Bought one of them wally world fixed gears and wanted a older geared bike to get more for my $. Just wondering how much its worth.

I would say that was a fair price. IIRC the Yukon was the entry level MTB from Giant. Decent bike for the money in it's day. Much better buy than anything similar from the big box stores. I have a 1989 Iguana (upscale from the Yukon) that is still chugging along today with most of the original components on it.

On my CL, I'd imagine $50-80 for the Yukon. Maybe $100 if like brand new.
Need pics to venture a halfway decent guess.

Why that's easy. A bike is worth whatever a buyer and seller can agree upon. In this case that's $65 w tax.

Tried uploading files through full site snd it failed. Any references to a simple as possible photo app for posting to forums. Will try and get pics of trek tommorow and post both at same time. Keeping giant may return walmart fixie before 90 days is up. When i got yukon it wad 59.99 plus tax i offered 50 he said he cant just marked them down. Is it really firm price or had i said if you mark it down to 50 call me he would have just sold it? Not experienced with pawn shops. And i know if word went around you could haggle they would have everyone doing it. About the small scratches on yukon. These can.be buffed out correct? Of so how. And by tires not looking like mtn bike tires i was reffering to yukon. Are they supposed to be low tread or just worn out. As of noe im planning on having yukon as a keeper. Just wondered value if financials got better & traded up or if things got bad and had to.sell
Really trying.to get into flipping bicycles. Just as a hobby. Say i make 100$ off trek with a little tunning and elbow grease. Thats 100$ i.didnt have
