Is there a market for "high end" bikes

[FootballingCyclist]

100k for a "top end" bike is a bargain these days. I view a "Top end" road bike as a Full Carbon Race bike, Dura Ace Di2/Sram Red AXS, Very good carbon wheelset, possibly PM included, Carbon bars etc. But realistically, you not getting all that for 100k(and DEFINITELY not with 12spd) and if you want your road bike "top end", You're still going to be spending money after the initial 100k. You could however get a well spec'd bike for that price yes but then again you're sitting with Ultegra di2/Force AXS most likely and a few other possible upgrades to be made. So if you can pick up a top end bike for 100k from a mate as a lucky buy, I do think there are enough, Not many, But enough guys willing to buy because I've seen a few on here last a day or 2 max, yes there are a few which have been around for a month plus, BUT, I have seen a few go very quickly.

If I were a buyer at R100k, I would rather buy new and get a warranty for my money. That's just me though. 

2 questions. 

1. How long will it take to move a bike at R100k? 

2. Do you want you R100k sitting in your garage for a couple of months when it could be earning/saving you interest. 

1. One fantastic bank HP… 

2. 100K worth of eye candy in most cases has another 100K looking right back at him or her or “it” with Bitcoin.

What about the 200K plus club?

I've ordered Mine.

You can't just go into the shop to get one.

So I have been wondering, well probably cause I can get my grease monkey fingers on a special little number . But is there a market for extremely high end bikes, I mean north of R100k? I know that this probably rules out 99% of the folks on here but still what's your thoughts? Or rather, if you had the opportunity would you take the risk? 

Used bike dealer here, personally, I very very rarely trade in anything over R100k. In that price bracket a buyer doesn't mind dropping an extra R30-50k to buy a brand new bike.

 

Under from R65-90k I've sold plenty

I see a few people saying selling 100k used.... I don't se where the post where OP says he wants to sell a used bike for 100k
