There's no way this bike is worth $1600

Date: November 28th, 2025 8:29 PM Author: samoth You must be new to Ebay.
You can actually list anything you want there, for any price, at any time.
I think there's a new internet website called Amazon where you can do the same thing. |

Date: November 28th, 2025 9:15 PM Author: https://imgur.com/a/o2g8xYK The closest thing I could find to my old Specialized was listed for $3,700. The bike is over 30 years old and wasn't worth shit last I checked.
Furthermore after doing the conversions I see that the bike in the OP is small for its era, which adds a lot of value. |

Best option is to know the FMV of what you want, and wait for an agreeable transaction. |

Date: November 28th, 2025 9:30 PM Author: https://imgur.com/a/o2g8xYK Yes but eBay supply used to yuge. It's totally gone now. Parts supply is the same but fully assembled bikes are down 99% (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5803864&forum_id=2/#49469162) |

Date: November 28th, 2025 9:33 PM Author: samoth You have to be patient. Old stuff comes to market when it comes to market.
Not many people selling bikes at the beginning of winter, either. |

Date: November 29th, 2025 12:30 PM Author: https://imgur.com/a/o2g8xYK Not many are buying in winter but plenty are selling. I used to see bikes for sale from California year round.
Furthermore if your theory is correct prices should be lower in winter when no one is buying. Economics fail. |

Date: November 29th, 2025 1:17 PM Author: NSAM's Schizoid Conspiracy Advent Calendar (gunneratttt) it's just amazing who stupid you are. this has nothing to do with the truth of the bike market, which i know very little about. the point is that he said "few are selling" and you accused him of an "economics fail" because if "fewer were buying" that would mean prices would go down.
but if fewer were selling and demand remained the same (which isn't what he said), then supply would go down and prices would increase.
basically you were wrong about what he said (supply versus demand decreasing), what the economics of that would be in insolation, and both those things had nothing to do what his point was anyway (smaller market = worse price discovery).
if this wasn't bizarre and stupid enough, my one sentence has sent you spinning and creating multiple threads calling me rsf.
boy, you are truly insane and stupid! |

Date: November 29th, 2025 12:39 PM Author: https://imgur.com/a/o2g8xYK Here's my bike except this one has shittier components and I replaced the suspension fork with a stiff one. What's with the $30 brake levers and 7-speed cassette?

Date: November 29th, 2025 1:20 PM Author: https://imgur.com/a/o2g8xYK PS all the big bike swaps happen in winter. If you think no one is selling in winter you've never been to a bike swap, believe me.
November in Colorado
January in Wisconsin:

February in Maryland:

If anyone can find a bike swap that happens in summer let me know. You can't. |

Date: November 29th, 2025 1:25 PM Author: Amateur Millennial Butt Porn If it's in great condition, $1600 is probably about right.
A new decent bike is $2400. |
