Need some help. Would like to get some inputs on what my Momsen Vipa frame could be sold for. Its in immaculate condition and has a new fox DPS shock. Size Mesium

If someone didn't see me riding this frame, you would think its brand new. Was wrapped in clear vinyl from beginning so its in 100% condition

Used is used. IMO the phrase "brand new" should never be used in advert for a used item, except by unscrupulous fleabags and the lazy. You'll do just fine with immaculate and other appropriate adjectives, which excellent quality photographs will support. you'll get a fair price without needing to stoop to a slimy level.

I would say around 10k, maybe a bit more. As Capricorn said, used is used. And I am assuming because you said 2014/2015 it is 2014 and not 2015? - and that is going on 4 years now. Even if you haven't used it much pivot bolts may need to be replaced or serviced, shock may need a service soon (PS every ad for a shock has the words "recently serviced, or hardly used on it - so even though it may be true in your case it means nothing to a buyer).

 

Just remember warranty from first owner does not carry over to second hand users, and with buying carbon second hand much of the risk lies therein.

 

2014, so maybe still QR? That will count against you.

 

All of that taken into consideration and the frame ends uo with a not so great 2nd hand value.

Also reckon R10k is fair considering the vintage. So much has happened in the last 4 years so your frame has got ölder" geometry, no boost, etc.

 

I concur with the above comments on the difference between new and as new or immaculate.

Also for me I relate very little use to the guys who advertise cars ridden by an old lady to the shops once a month.

Just be honest in the ad and you will find a buyer.

Good luck
