Surely they haven’t been doing it for very long, or else they’d know breaking even is pretty unheard of.

If you can sell a $250 bike for $1000 every day that’s a pretty good profession.

Plastic pedals. Worth it

Looks like they threw some cheapish parts at it and made the frame nice and shiny.
Like that bottle cage sells for $8 at my LBS. I have one. It’s shit. Cheap saddle, bars, grips, pedals, etc. Valve stems barely poking out the rims.
Like I don’t know if I’d even pay $200. Throwing a bunch of parts at an old bike in an attempt to make a profit is a fool’s errand.

There is a pristine ‘84 Schwinn High Sierra near me for $250. Suntour Mountech, Sugino, Araya 1.75. Basically unridden. 18”.$250

I mean it’s a nicely done bike with some tasteful and solid component choices, but his pricing is ridiculously unrealistic.
Part of this hobby for me at least is finding the absolute best deals on good quality components by hunting down sales and lightly used parts.
I have said it before, most of the people who want an old school bike enjoy the process of finding one fresh out of someone’s shed or basement and getting it dirt cheap. Then they also want to do the resto-mod themselves, not buy someone else’s completed project.
Anyone who’s willing to drop a grand on a bike is looking for something modern, unless it’s a super rare and highly sought after frame.

don’t professionals do things to actually make money?

Unpopular opinion: if you have to explain why what you’re selling is expensive rather than the product speaking for itself, you’re overcharging.

Break even? God, how much did they spend on the frame then? And the wheels??? Not even machined for brakes. I’d give them a buck fifty at most.

I mean it is very nice, but $1,000
Even if you put $1,000 worth of time and parts into it it’s not $1,000

What would a reasonable price be, out of interest?
