[Closed] Whats this worth?

Something is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. Somebody might think this worth it, you don't.

I agree with you though, over priced.

Okay thanks I'll stick to my price.

does seem a little steep. what do YOU think its worth?

I found this on ebay yesterday and really like the look of it but have the same reservations. It's gutting when you have to take a hit on the value of your new sh kit. He's dropped the reserve on ebay and is on a second attempt auction so we shall see.

Comparison (kinda). I paid £900 for this a few years back, all in excellent condition and/or new parts:

Cotic Soul
All Mountain3 forks
Hope/Mavic 717 wheelset/Fire XCs
Saint brakes
XT/X9 running gear
Thomson post and stem
Easton bars

The Simple does sound nice and remember its a £450 frame but stuff like the Deore cranks and Recon forks do kinda give it a lower rent image.

That's what i thought but didn't want to say. Put some Thomson, Easton and XT and it would have shifted for sure.

Lets break it down -

Cotic Simple - £420-ish?
Hope Pro2 Trials rear hub
Hope Headset £60
Hope XC front hub
Mavic XC717 rims - £260 wheels and tyres
Panaracer Fire XC Pro tyres
Rockshox recon Air forks (lockout and motion control) - £250
Deore Cranks and BB - £50
Raceface Evolve AM stem - £30
Raceface Evolve XC Seatpost - £30
Shimano SLX brakes with Ashima Air rotors £150-ish
Scott saddle - £10
No name grips

Is a total of abouy £1260. Let's say £1300.

If it's under a year old, I'd say 60% of the new price (Older = Cheaper)
as it's a nice frame that's in demand.

So around £750.

£700 I'd say, £750 tops.

Take away the frame and there's not much left that's worth a lot.

I bid £760 and did feel that was pushing it selling the kit on afterwards I need to sell it at a price that makes the frame £300, don't think I'll bother bidding this time.
