How to price a 2nd hand bike for sale?

Hi, I've been asked by a mate, who is departing these shores, to assist in selling his road bike (a Fuji Gran Fondo 2.1). Does anyone know of any accurate means of pricing such a bike in SA? E.g do we have a blue-book equivalent or database here? I'm happy to give the specs if people are able to eyeball a price range that I could list it for?

Look at similar specced bikes from the same era. Look at what could be bought new.

Post specs and you'll get advice.

Challenge accepted!

Fuji Gran Fondo 2.1.

Carbon frame and fork (it's an endurance focused frame). 2013/14 model (I think). Can take upto and including 28mm wide tyres.

10 speed Shimano 105 group set. 53/39 175mm cranks.

Rim brakes (105).

Alloy wheels.

 

Any thoughts on pricing would be appreciated.

Considering that you'd likely need to replace all drive train parts on such an old bike (and there is no stock) I'd advise most to rather look at buying new. The only redeeming aspect (in the eye of most buyers) is that it's full carbon. I'd go to market for R11k and be happy with R8k. If it sits for a few weeks I'd take any offer I get.

I sold a much better specced actively raced and maintained 10-speed racing bike for R10k a year and some change ago...
