And boxing and sending them is a definite pain in the butt and now VERY EXPENSIVE. Especially compared to just a couple of years ago. Offers are mostly less than FRAMESETS are selling for on a Di2 equipped bike. To send a bike by ground transportation from Oakland to Washington DC is $400 with packing and shipping. This is WITHOUT insurance. Not to mention that absolute pain-in-the ass of having to move around a package that side by yourself. Yeah, it only weighs 26 lbs. but it is 56" long and 36" tall and 7" wide. I can just barely get it in the trunk of my car leaving the trunk lid open. Dumbass eBay wouldn't print the label for UPS on my last bike so I had to do everything myself. I wasted half a tank of gas doing everything this way. With a label I could have had it picked up at the dealer that packed the bike. So why are you doing this?? - Frank Krygowski I'm doing it so that other people not as stupid as you can have a bike that they are proud of. One would think that as a supposed mechanical engineer that such things would be obvious to you. But as we can see from everyone of your postings, you are afraid of advanced technology and probably are still using downtube shifter. Pure bull**** silly little tommy. the average punter would be far better to buy a down-shifter than some complex piece of modern fashion. |

At a minimum, you should be proud to display the results of your skill and efforts. Instead, you require those who had assisted to laboriously dig through the eBay listings to find a photo and description. Aren't you proud of your work? Don't you want others to see your handiwork? If so, why are you don't your best to hide the listing? Or, are we just pawns in your game of chess interested only in maximizing your profits?

At $3500 for a used one with no warranty presumably it's the Émonda SLR ($6500 new), but the listing doesn't say. A rule of thumb for used bicycles in person to person sales isthat it's worth 60% of the new MSRP at the time (if the used bike is in pristine condition) and upgrades do not improve the value. So $6500 * 0.60 = $3900, so $3650 is not unreasonable considering the cosmetic damage that is noted. But if it's a lower-end model then the price is high. |

We want to know. Sorting the available Emonda bicycles by price: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=emonda We find that there are 24 out of 53 bicycles selling for less than your $3,500 asking price. There are two machines offered for $10,000 each. One is also asking $1,000 for shipping: https://www.ebay.com/itm/164545474696 We suggest you raise your asking price. -- Jeff Liebermann PO Box 272 http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Ben Lomond CA 95005-0272 Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558 |

Perhaps you could present to us any sort of information that you are any sort of an expert concerning about the prices of anything new or used? Where did you get your license to identify condition and value? You must have an ego the size of the White House and a mind with similar values. Unlike you or this dumb**** Jeff, i don't brag, what I say I did, I did. The numbers of lives that were saved because of my work, if anything is greatly understated. |
