Re: The 2005 Giant XTC frame for $700

[bdee]

Seriously dude... where did you find the balls to enter this forum, while not being a member, and then overcharge for a 4 year old frame? After a little interweb searching it turns out that the run of the mill aluminum XTC frame from 2005 cost, at most, $500. A complete Giant XTC could've been purchased for $1,000 - $1,200. Unlike rare stamps, fine wine and MILFs regular old aluminum MTB frames do NOT appreciate in value over time. If they did you'd see a stampede of hedge fund dollars flooding the used mountain bike market.

Maybe you meant 700 AUD, I don't know. But I do know that between this site and Craigslist you're fishing for a sucker. Good luck, maybe you could make a better case as to why this frame is worth $700. Was it beechwood aged, hand made in your shed or dipped in gold? I'm sure you'll come up with something! Hell, maybe it's "vintage" and you can convert it to a fixed gear like all the overpriced 80s shitbox road bikes everyone is selling for $350 - 500.

Oh, and way to delete the first post, re-post it and then lock the new one. Don't try to rip us off and deny us the joys of screwing with you!

That's funny, I was going to post the same thing but didn't because I know the folks around here are wise enough to realize the true value of bikes and bike parts. Must be craigslist spill over. Geeze, I've got a complete SS bike with all good junk currently for sale that's more that $100 less than that snazzy vintage frame.

Hey, I see where your coming from, but in my opinion an item is worth whatever the market is willing to pay for it.

Absolutely true. But, as a pretty tightly knit community, NEMBA folk are sure to help each other on pricing. It is part of the deal when posting For Sale stuff here.

What, you don't think that thing's worth $100 more than Beausters '08 Reign?



Maybe it's "custom".
