The second hand market has gone crazy and there is no pricing guide to look to. We have no book value guide and people are unsure with their purchases. Furthermore there are people making a living off buying used bicycles and selling them overpriced a day later. This has elevated and inflated perception values of owners that are thinking of selling. Most often the year of the model of bike is not stated or known. We need something like https://www.bicyclebluebook.com/ for our local market. What are your views?
