Give it a couple of years, it'll be the next big thing in MTB.

It's sat gathering dust in garage, lovely frame but haven't ridden any off road for about 18 months.

Would reluctantly let it go to help fund a cross build but sounds like it's probably not going to be worth it....

Depends what it is. If it's at the more retro end of the scale (like the rather nice 98 Indy Fab SS Deluxe I own) then it'll probably retain it's value. If it's a more modern SS frame then it'll be worth less due to the advent of bigger wheels.
However, have you tried 650b wheels in it? As quite a few SS frames will accommodate them due to slidey or horizontal drop-outs.

Look on eBay for a market value of what has sold. A frame sold in June for around £250 so you may get a similar amount.

More than I would spend as I got a Ti SS frame with Lightweight Bushnell EBB for less than that.

Not worth that much. Struggled to get 200 for mine a few months ago.

There was someone on here who was after a medium who nearly bought mine. He could be interested it. Search my history for a lead.
