I need help

[AllyD831]

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.

Thank you

This place is becoming less friendlier by the day.

I'm finding this too. Maybe people are getting tetchy with lockdown issues or something, but it seems no matter what anyone posts, someone wants to take issue with it. The only safe place is "My ride today" .

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?

three seemed to in double quick time, so it all seems to have worked out ok I guess

No we're not, how dare you, do you want some?

In the spirit of being helpful, I had a quick look for similar bikes on US Ebay for you - they seem to be advertised between about $90 and $200. I'd pitch it somewhere in the middle to start with and take offers maybe?

Hard enough to figure out in The States. Like I say, I'm in the Midwest, and have little idea what such a bicycle would fetch in Spokane, but a quick scan of the local Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace would yield some results on the value of an Open Road bicycle of similar vintage and specifications.

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.

Thank you very much

Thank you, I will try that
