    Hi all,


    I'm going to sell one of my bikes. It was 650euro when I bought it and 3 years old. My problem is I've no clue what its worth now. Is there any rule of thumb for calculating the value of an old bike? Depreciation value etc?


    Thanks

    What year is the bike ? Is it 2005 ? Depends on the condition of the bike as well. No cracks, scrapes etc.

    I'd hazard a 350-400 range, probably a bit lower depending on what year.
