Howdee,

 

It's that time of the year. I'm itching to upgrade. I decided I'm not upgrading parts, but selling my current bicycle and buying something new. I'm planning on selling a Scott Aspect 30. What would be a realistic asking price for it? It's stock standard, so it's entry-level everything. Suntour Fork/Alivio RD/Acera FD/Acera Shifters/Alex Rims/Tektro Draco Brakes. Some normal use scratches. I think it's a 2012 model, but bought it this year March. About 650km (100km dirt roads / 550km tar and commuting). I'm having a hard time getting realistic second hand prices... I saw two prices (R4k and R5k). That's a bit high right? That's about what I paid for mine new.

As a seller you always want as much as you can get, but put yourself in the buyers shoes, would you pay R5k for a secondhand bike that is 18months old when the bike cost that much when it was released?

 

I would say a realistic price would be R3k and then you would sell it quickly enough and be able to sleep at night knowing you didn't shaft someone.

 

Just my 2c, use it , dont use it.
