[Closed] 08 Trek Fuel EX8 (whats it worth)

Ok, I'll have a crack at this...few upgrades (Wheels, brakes, stem, saddle...not sure of age or value), bit of heel rub but looks goodish condition, not sure on when if forks/shock/bearings have been serviced, colour might not be to everyone's taste...I'll put in a value of around £800

id give ya that

wheels stem and saddle was all bought new in april 2010 the bike had a full service all bearings new xtr cables in april 2011 the wheels cost £600 new if this helps

i take it you think 800 was unreasonable?

no each to there own .....just trying to be honist

ok i would not let it go for 800 do you think im being unreasonable

not at all, i actually think nuke is spot on with his valuation it would fetch that kind of money as a full bike on st, splitting is the way to go on here if you can be bothered ive split a few bikes on here so have a rough idea on what the kit here is likely to fetch so if this is any help

frame £350
fork 200 - 225
brakes £100
xt crank £60
xt shifters £40
front and rear mech together £30
wheels 200 ish not seen a set of these on here so purely a guess
bars stem seatpost £30
cassette £10-15

of course these are only estimates i tend to sell slightly cheaper so things move quicker always something new to buy lol, to the right person the frame could fetch £500 if someone just so happens to be looking for an ex8 at the time you sell, out of interest if you do decide to split those havens would suit me as ive just ordered haven bar and stem combo so give me a shout if thats the way you go, good luck

not thought about spliting ... its all good feedback

will let you know if i diside to split

Sold mine end of last year on Fleabay, similar spec,(but not as Un-used looking as yours) for £850.. so think £800ish would be about right.
Put it in the auction and let it run... you might be "surprised" 😉

What it is worth is normally in the envelope between these two figures, dependant on condition and whether the item is in demand:

original cost * 0.5 * 0.9^(n-1) where n is its age

original cost * (2/3)^n

The main parts you've upgraded are brakes and wheels, the rest probably didn't add significant value. You also need to factor in what the replaced parts are worth. Brakes 150 minus 80, and wheels 300 or 400 (max on a lucky day) minus 120ish.

So your bike in original spec is worth between 505 and 690 depending on condition plus 250. So overall around 755 to 940. Might stretch to 1000 if you have a lot of interest (eg drunken ebay war)

HTH

Yes id say between 800-1000 on eBay depending on how much interest you get... Bikes do seem to be going for well over the odds on there at the moment, bought my 2nd bike on there for 650 a year ago rode the shit out of it and sold it on for 590 a year later!!!

I bought mine for 900 when it was 9 months old. Cost was 1600 new then.

£1,100 if all in VGC and to right buyer. They do hold their value quite well.

But you may do better to get a cheaper pair of wheels on it and flog the blingy wheels separately.

i guess it's worth what anyone will pay for it (not that that helps you much)

If selling as full bike I agree with chakaping put a cheaper wheelset on and sell the Eastons separate.

Any chance of some high quality pictures to the email in my profile. I could be very interested

so what would you take realistically ?

nice bike, shame about the hideous rims.

I will buy the wheels for £200
