[Closed] Is it just me, or is he being a little optimistic with the asking price?
and a little liberal with the description...
Almost as optimistic as some of the prices on here lately.
Maybe a little over priced in this example but from what I've seen and had experience of in the classifieds is that most buyers want top end parts for peanuts, its nothing short of a car boot sale.
More often than not you turn to the wanted section and see posts starting with 'WTD cheap' and I've never seen one that started with 'buyer happy to pay a reasonable price for someone's cherished but no longer required parts'.
Wow, you could almost get a second hand fox fork for that.
But yes, very much doubt the seller paid anything like that for it when it was new.
He's 8 offers on it though, I wonder how much the highest is?
He'll probably get the price he wants. I recently tried to buy an XT Shadow 9 sp rear mech - they all went for more than a new one from CRC! Mad.

I bet you an Apollo Slant that it doesn't sell at all.
He's been trying to sell it a while it would seem, apparently he was asking £720 at one point. Some comment about it on [url= http://www.pinkbike.com/u/Daniel-newby96/album/enforce-xcr/ ]Pink bike[/url]
Judging by the classifieds on here that's a fair price
It may sell, never ceases to amaze me what people will buy on fleabay for silly prices, I sold a top-cap off a RaceFace Deus headset for £16, the whole headset only cost me £20! Why would someone pay that for it? Or two people actually, someone must have bid £15...
Bought a frame in 2006 for £40, rode it for 5 years until I stripped the thread out of the BB shell, put it in the garage for a year, then sold it on fleabay for £45. Quite mad.
I always list my stuff on the free listings weekends with optimistic prices, some sells, most doesn't. Then I relist with a slightly lower price, and keep repeating until it's all gone. However, often I will list something at a price, it won't sell, I reduce the price and relist, it doesn't sell again so I reduce the price again and relist and then the bidding goes way over the first price, I'll never explain that.
