Satan Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 Ok, this is for real. My neighbour wants to sell his bike, its a Giant OCR 1 I think...heavy frame, steel fork Sora groupset. He wants R5000 for it...and when I told him that he was insane, he was a little upset. Please help me...what is a reasonable price?!?!
HomerSimpson Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 If it's a Sora groupset, then it's probably an OCR 3. I sold my OCR 3 a few months ago for R 2 200 (nclusive of Look pedals and computer and two fairly new rims)
Satan Posted October 19, 2007 Author Posted October 19, 2007 Look, dont get me wrong here...the bike is in good condition, and I'm not taking the piss outta him... I just dont think its worth R5k. So you guy's reckon around R2200 or R2500? Thanks for the info...
Satan Posted October 19, 2007 Author Posted October 19, 2007 Aaarggh...why is it that when people buy bikes from mates who tell them a bike is worth SO much more, they actually think they can get that higher price?! Especially when he only paid R2000 for it himself??
cyclenut Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 3yrs ago a new one was this was $1500 / gpb400.Today's price R2000 max. Better to strip the bike and sell the parts. Better still: Donate it to BEN (www.benbikes.org.za)
Satan Posted October 19, 2007 Author Posted October 19, 2007 All points taken...thanks again for the info...
Mudsimus Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 OCR3's with the steel forks trade second hand for R1500. If your lucky.
steve Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 I recently looked at a Raleigh RC3000 with Tiagra and price was R2000
Joe Low Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 My friend sold 2 of these six months back. I bought one for my son, didn't haggle cos I liked her and paid R2,000. Put my friend on to her and she got the other for R1,700 (obviously no spark there).
Eugene Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 If the bike has a steel fork, then it must be pretty old. I would say that it is only worth about R1 500.00
cyclenut Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 How many couches will he include for the R5000 ?
