Value of Counterpoint Presto?

Howdy,
My neighbor has a '93 or '94 Counterpoint Presto he is interested in
selling. It has about 5000 commuting miles on it. Elastomer rear suspension
and what appears to be an early RST front shock. The bike sports a folding
boom and a "flip it" type stem. It has a vintage Sachs 3x7 drive train with
Suntour X1 cranks. Not sure about the brakes, long reach sidepulls of some
sort. Aside from the dust, its in pretty good shape. It also has an old
avocet computer and panniers and the custom counterpoint seat bag. I told
him I would help him sell it, we are trying to figure out what its worth.
Any ideas? He paid about $2400 with all the assorted accessories and
whatnot.

Thanks

Thanks Phil, we were thinking around the same figure. Possibly $900-$1100 or
so. Anyone else have any thoughts?

I write from UK, and have the Pashley version of this called the PDQ.
I bought it end of '97, and with things like mudguards, why sew? bag,
luggage rack etc cost about UK pounds 1200 or currently about $2140.
The 'bent scene here is pretty dead at the moment and I reckon I will
be lucky to get the equivalent of $900 for it - about 40 per cent of
the orginal purchase cost. Which is why I put off a planned upgrade
for another season to squeeze a bit more value out of it.
