Hi,
I'm trying to sell my whyte 46 bike: http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/fs-whyte-46-49
Am I charging too much? What price should I be charging?
Cheers,
Lawrence
Less.
How much less?
Looks like its built from a random assortment of bits that might have suited you very well, but not many other people will be interested in. I'd suggest splitting it. Do an ebay "completed items" search for prices.
Worth more sold as parts. I expect you would get around £600 on ebay but then they get 10% so you may as well sell here for £550.
Standard original looking bike on ebay £550 with no bids yet

This one went for £850 but only 1 bid so a bit lucky!
Another here for only £500 but with RS Pike forks.
I'd rather sell the bike, as a whole, for less than split because the frame wasn't selling for I thought I might as well build it up and sell it but it seems no one wants that either. If I priced it at 650 do you think it'd sell?

Just split it and ebay the lot starting at 99p, but ensure you get an extra quid per item on postage.
Difficult one that, I know it's not what you want to read, but splitting it is probably the best option. The frame is nearing it's fifth birthday but on the other hand the Alpine Link is a selling point. The shock is in need of a service, which marks it down.
Those originally shipped with either a Fox 36 or a Maverick DUC32, presumably you've bought it as a frame only?
I bought it frame only originally for 250 but after installing a new headset, bearings and shock seals, it's taken me to nearly 400 just for the frame. Maybe I should ebay it...
Thanks for your replies,
Lawrence
