Hack that's a great website, in the class with Sheldons. Yet I am looking for something more than ebay ads or a search of craigslist. Why?? because I am looking for something that is consistent. I see a lot of great information on Velobase, but nothing on values or rarity of the bike. There is usually quite a bit about the mechanical workings of the bike, which is a big help and good to know. Unless I missed it somewhere, it doesn't solve my problem.
I tried the oldroads.com search on their used and vintage bikes. I used my Fuji Newest 3.0 since its used and I was thinking of selling it. I don't ride it much anymore thanks to knees, and the Sunray but its a nice bike thats only a couple of years old. What I found was that it searched online ads with a lot of craigslist ads. Most of the ads were wanting $400 to $450 when I paid just under $500 when I bought it. (model year clearance) Will they get someone to pay that?? Maybe if they wait long enough. The other ad that was posted at $300 might be a bit low. That's the problem. Any book will be an estimate, but ads just do not seem to be working for me for a lot of reasons.
Compounding the problem is that if its truly a rare bike there are few of them out for sale. That usually makes pricing harder. Has to be something out there.
