Here are some pictures of the ad. What do you think about the pricing? I aimed for 1000€ less than new. The bike is basically new and has only been ridden 4 times, 2 bike park days and two enduro tours.
Would appreciate some guidance.
Location is Germany.

It’s a horrible time to sell a MTB as manufacturers are closing out new inventory for higher discounts than you are offering on a used bike.
No one will buy a bike like that for that price when you can buy something similar new for a couple hundred more. It’s just a really unfortunate time to sell right now.
~50% off from new price tends be where it’s at in Australia at least. There’s some variance to that obviously, occassionally you might be able to sell it for 60% of the new price or if its a few models old less than 50% (as cheap as 20-30% of new price).
The COVID boom is over, prices are falling everywhere and money is tight.
It’s a used bike with no warranty. 50% is the usual discount for used.
I have a great condition bike priced about half of new right now and it’s getting no interest.
It’s an awful time to sell. Winter and huge discounts on new. May be better off waiting till it warms up.
Uff ok looks a bit sad…
Well I guess I’ll need to drop the price then. I was just confused since most bikes (like Capra, Torque, Meta) on offer in Germany are like similarly priced to mine with Fox Factory Suspension . But not sure if just none of them sell 😅
How should I best drop the price? Once every two days 200€ off and see if someone bites or directly put it in for 2600-2800€
4k for used alloy 🤣
I give you 2000, you are not gonna get more for that used thing
It is not priced right. It’s WAY too high.
Kona has a buy one get one free sale. For new bikes. That is what you are competing with. I can get two brand new Konas for what you are selling that for.
If you really want to sell it. Cut that price in half. At least.
I know, you paid a lot and it’s worth xxxxx or whatever. Doesn’t matter. No one is buying a used aluminum bike at that price.
Would I have a chance to get a good value if I sell all parts as single items?
Too expensive. I got a brand new Propain on fox factory suspension, gx t-type, and MT7s for $4300
