I know, but you don't need to read this if you don't want to 🙂

I've had a brand spanking new Whyte E-120 frame, shock & bits delivered over the weekend as a warranty replacement (Can't fault ATB-Sales service, once again). I hate to sell it as I love the ride but, having broken one, I feel I need something stronger so it's got to go.

My question is, what do people think I should ask for it? RRP is £1500 btw

Any constructive comment are greatly appreciated 🙂

My view would be if you [i]really[/i] want to sell the frame .....

Scour the internet for the best price you can find for the frame then advertise it for that price less 10 - 15%.

After all whilst the buyer would be getting a new frame I doubt they would be getting any warranty 😕

Any help?

minimum 30% off I'd say and more for nicheness.

Put it on scum-bay with "best offer" for a month and see what happens.

£1200 Quid Winstanleys - without warranty = say £900 ONO 🙂

I reckon the £1k mark too

I take it any subsequent buyer will be without a warranty?

Thanks very much for the comments - I was expecting more of a flaming than that! And thanks Rich - you saw my ad then 🙂

I was thinking £900 was a pretty good price so I'll stick with that I guess. Yes, it's a £1500 frame but the lack of subsequent warranty makes a difference (although ATB-Sales seemed genuinely surprised I'd snapped the last one 🙂 )

I guess eBay's the best option. I just resent giving them 10% of any sale!
