What's it Worth? Appraisals and Inquiries

I'm not understanding this post. Are you trying to make a thread where people can get an estimate on the value of a bike? If so there is whole forum for that. Or are you just asking people to brag about how much their bike is worth? In that case, it is pretty stupid. You can spend as much money on a bike as you feel like, it doesn't mean that it is worth much.

I couldn't find the estimate value for track/ss bikes.

It's worth whatever I can get someone to pay. When I decide to sell it!

That's all anything is worth, is the amount someone will pay.

Value of my bike...
 
...is a funny thing. If I were willing to accept what a buyer was willing to offer, then that amount would be the value of my bike.

My wife wants me to thin my bike herd by selling off one or two. As I ride them all, I'm hesitant to do that, and I've discussed it with her. As to my fg bike - I'm not willing to part with it at this time. I like riding it. A lot.

So is the value to me higher than an informed buyer would be willing to pay?

My bike is worth more than your bike.






(and it's not dented)

See, if you had just followed the OP's rules and included pics, a parts list with the price for each component, the approximate labor cost of the time needed to install each component, factored in wear/depreciation since assembly, then we'd know how much your bike was worth. And if we all did that, then the OP could build the most expensive bike of anyone here and win the forum.

Or you could just look at his pedal room and figure it out yourself.

Well, sure, if you want to do all that work yourself...

I have a three thousand dollar state bike.

jim-bob 07-01-14 12:01 PM

My bikes are worth dozens of dollars, easy.

Phil_gretz 07-01-14 12:20 PM

...three score dozens of dollars. Slightly more than a fistfull...

^^^^^^ Ahahahahahahaha, I was about to post something similar!!!

What you spend to build a bike and what it's worth are never the same thing.

TMonk 07-03-14 03:39 PM

track bike: mebbe a grand or so
road fixed: mebbe 500 or so
road training bike: somewhere between 500-1000
road racing/nice bike: 3-4k somewhere

My bikes are worth thousands of miles of joy, hundreds of tons of sweat and various amounts of grunting. There is no dollar amount that could buy my bikes (unless said dollar amount would get me a fully handbuilt custom painted high grade stainless steel touring bike with all the parts/accessories I want, then I might get back to you)
