What's My Bike Worth?

Hey there, fellow cyclists! I'm trying to figure out how much my trusty bike is worth, and I need your help!

I've had my bike for a few years now, but unfortunately it has been stationary for the majority of it. But now that I'm considering selling it given that I don't have time to use it anymore, I'm not sure what price to put on it or if I should sell it. The original purchase price was R45 000.00

Here are the details:

•⁠  ⁠Merida, Big nine 7000, 2017
•⁠  ⁠Upgraded XTR brake calipers, carbon handle bars and seat post, hope pro 4 hubs, etc.
•⁠  ⁠Still in a good condition

So, fellow cyclists, what do you think? What's my bike worth? Please share your expertise and help me out!

Thanks for your input!

Lots of factors but there's two things here: 

1) What it's worth

2) What someone is willing to pay for it due to condition and componentry. 

1) I believe it to be worth between 18-22k

2) Someone may be keen to pay closer to 25k depending on:

Wheelsize (by the code 7000 - it appears to be a 27.5)

Groupset, if it still has a 2 or 3x it will sit

Big nine is the size as in 29er 7000 is carbon hundreds are Alloy and thousands are carbon.

Big nine 700 alloy.
