And often there is bargaining room in left in the asking price.
My Pivot Mach 6 carbon will be up for sale shortly. It’s virtually all carbon and would retail for close to $10,000 but I shouldn’t expect to get much more than $3,000 for it.
Sellers can ask for a lot, but if they want to get their asking price they should expect to show “value” of their bike, as well as a well written ad with many, many great photos. And should always be honest about any damage to the bike.
