Sorry, it s a 'What's it worth?' question! Yeti Lawwill...

Now, aside from the final price and one bid (and I've already made my mind up about the latter!) what do people think this is really worth, please?
The original rear wheel isn't with it, and I spotted a pair for £250!) which I would think chips the value down, but the question is: where does it really sit, price wise?

Any advice gratefully received, thanks in advance.

It would appear to have been worth £1,000.

 

[Cavauxhall]

Yes, but that £1,000 bid appears to be, ahem, 'perhaps not too believable' hence me mentioning it.

 

[fjpshaw]

Why is it not believable? Plenty of stuff sells on a single bid.

:? (if fagin did smilies)

 

[Cavauxhall]

It's entirely possible it wasn't a schill bid of course, I just decided that it might be and hoped that someone would know whether that price is fair, or it's not actually worth that much.
I realise it's all subjective (the value, I mean) but it'd be interesting to get some 'in the know' suggestions as to value.

Looks like a NOS sold last year on eBay for $1800, and there have been a couple of frame only adverts on here in the last year i.r.o. £300 (but not sure whether they sold or not - certainly they didn't on here). Perhaps the fact that they appear to be relatively rare makes the price a bit variable, and hard to predict. Just ask phatmar...!

Many thanks, I've been offered it (complete bike) in a deal and have no idea what to value it, or what it's likely to fetch as I wouldn't keep it.
Thanks once again and best regards

Do you mean you have been offered THIS bike, or a bike just like it? Either way, it is only worth what you are comfortable to pay. Personally I would have said ~1000 would be fair as usually for this sort of thing the person who want to buy it really want to buy it, it is worth that to them, and anyone else its worth 100 if that. So if you are wanting to buy to shift on, then you really need to know your market and accept that you may take a hit.

I would think your best bet would be to ask your question here....http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewforum.php?f=78

Apologies, hadn't seen that. The vendor has changed his mind anyhow, so it's now irrelevant, but thanks once again for the advice.
