Good price for my ride?

Im going to sell my bike in a few. I was gonna upgrade components and paint frame, but I've decided to just sell and buy new frame and start from scratch.What is the most you think I'll get for it?
-04 Gary Fisher Wahoo
-LS shift/brake levers(also selling stock levers,brand new)
-Cateye Mity 8
-Bontrager Jones acx-b 26x2.2(also stock tires,still brand new Bontrager Connection Trail B 26x2.o)
-pump and Pedros saddle bag w/ tools
Bike has less than 100 miles, just minor paint chips under chain.Still in great condition. What do you think?
Ill post later to let you know what happened.Saying by to my daily driver Now i must drive my car everywhere for now.

Bikes: Lots

I'm guessing you paid right around $500 for it. MSRP is around $450 - $475.

Figure about half, maybe half + $50.00

I wouldn't expect more than $100 for it...maybe less. Used bikes without solid componentry aren't exactly an easy sell.

Do you know how racist that is. It amazes me sometimes how much people say without even thinking how racist they sound.

not you man....the crank guy who says a bike is worth 25% give or take so I'm ready to buy what he's got to sell. Anyways...as far as cars, I don't drive, but own a GMC Yukon 5.7L V8 4x4 that will most likely come out of hiding when I start going back to school. 12mpg in the city.

Still racist. All 5 terms.

I don't disagree about the cars...just the terms. (I hate modified honda civics...ugliest things around besides lowered pickups)

Actually, given the components that are on there, you're about 50% off.

he basically said a 400 dollar bike lightly used was worth 25% of the...or 100 bucks, so I made a joke saying whenever he is ready to sell his stuff let me know....hence I could get a 4000 dollar bike for 1000 bucks and be on my merry way...that was all...notice how with his stuff it's worth more money?

I sold my '04 Trek 4500 that I bought for $400, for $300. I had about $100 of upgrades into it. Not bad for a resale though.

one thing i dont think i will ever understand is people lowering trucks. if they wanted somethin low why not buy a car?? a truck is meant to haul things(like bikes) up big dirt roads where cars cant get too..


(i know theres more too it then that but i think ive mede my point...)
