I need help

I need to figure out how much my bike is worth

 

[Cycleops]

Because of the poor availability of new bike secondhand prices have gone a bit crazy. Normally s bike like yours in reasonable condition and ready to ride might have been around $130 but now who knows.

Why are you asking a UK cycle forum when you're in Spokane in the north-west of the US?

Because they not what a helpful bunch we are

@AllyD831 without knowing your local area and market I would suggest around the 100 dollar mark

Why?

Why?

Bit less over here as it’s left hand drive ........

This bicycle appears to be an old Huffy or Murray or Columbia, basic hardware, department store or supermarket offering, maybe a bicycle dealer, but the BMA sticker on the seat tube is a dead giveaway of the mass-market nature of the bicycle. Knowing how much the cost of living is in Washington State, I still wouldn't go over $100 dollars on a good day, with the wind behind me. In the Midwest, about half that.

UK cycling forum? I thought this was the worldwide web? And the address is .net, not .co.uk... so anyone could be forgiven for thinking it might be international. Which I thought it was, even if it has been hijacked by mainly UK members?

Yes, it's the worldwide web. And whatever its address, this is a UK cycling forum, as could be noted by anyone who did even the most cursory scan. So how are the 99-point-something% of CC posters who are in the UK (or even the few who are in Germany, Denmark or Ghana) to price a second hand bike on the American market?

Why?

Cuz I'm trying to sell it

With great difficulty or near zero accuracy.
A point that could be made in friendlier terms.
And could certainly be done without mocking.

This place is becoming less friendlier by the day.

I didnt know this wasnt a local forum, nor do I care. I'm struggling in life and recently lost my life partner and need some money, so i thought i would try to sell the bike. Dont need a bunch of snarky smart remarks. Sorry I asked!!

Thank you for your response. It says it's a JC Penny bike and has huffy on the seat.

The simple answer - if you can't help the OP, just ignore the question. There are a few US based members who could maybe help with the request for information. If not, the thread just falls to the bottom of the page and disappears like all the rest, eventually. No big deal.....
