Satan Posted October 19, 2007 Share 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?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFishy Posted October 19, 2007 Share Maybe half of what he wants...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomerSimpson Posted October 19, 2007 Share 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satan Posted October 19, 2007 Share 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty Posted October 19, 2007 Share Mate struggled to sell his for 2000.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satan Posted October 19, 2007 Share 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?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclenut Posted October 19, 2007 Share 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mudsimus Posted October 19, 2007 Share OCR3's with the steel forks trade second hand for R1500. If your lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve Posted October 19, 2007 Share I recently looked at a Raleigh RC3000 with Tiagra and price was R2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Low Posted October 19, 2007 Share 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). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eugene Posted October 22, 2007 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclenut Posted October 22, 2007 Share How many couches will he include for the R5000 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
