Longdrop Posted June 29, 2010 Posted June 29, 2010 Have you ever seen the face of you local dealer when you ask how much your one or two year old bike is worth if traded on a new bike?Gone are the million reasons why you should buy the bike!!!!The funny thing is that we all know that there is a market for pre-owned bikes at reasonable prices.
AndreZA Posted June 29, 2010 Posted June 29, 2010 A lady here at work traded her stuffed up Silverback in for R500 less then what she payed for it when she bought a R10 000 Merida.
gummibear Posted June 29, 2010 Posted June 29, 2010 The bike shops here in Lux have a used sale at the end of the month and you can sell your bike or parts in the parking lots.Some of the bikes are almost given away.

Â we really need car boot sales days. cycle Lab tried it once but I don't know if was an success. But like all markets in this country the host will kill the business with high stand prices and ridiculous entry fees for the public.

It would be good if they managed to start them up again.
