There is no "blue book" of used bike values. I know some of you gents are patient and willing to wait for minty specimens offered for <50% of retail. Others are willing to pay a bit more to avoid weeks or months of bargain shopping and haggling. I've sold many used Rivs and other desirable pre-owned bicycles, and had people on this list email me lowball offers or otherwise suggest that my price was too high, only to sell the thing at my asking price a few hours or a few days later.
There are a lot of factors that go into it, but in Riv's case MSRP has sometimes risen steeply, and availability of some models in some sizes has been spotty. I always say, if the right buyer comes along, price doesn't matter much, but if the right buyer doesn't come along, price doesn't matter much. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
