Hello, so I bought this bike in May as my first full suspension bike for 2450 eur. Now I saw a LBS selling an Specialized Stumpjumper Evo Elite Alloy 2024 for 2999 (45% discount, test bike).
My question is how much do you think I could get for my Marin?

The bike has some paint chipped at some points and has had the KMC chain replaced by a Shimano chain and I might replace the Sunrace cassette with an Shimano one.

First of all is there a need to upgrade? Secondly, on the pictures the bike comes with an slx cassette, not sunrace, that would be false advertising?
Not nearly as much as you’d want to get.
Assuming you’re in the northern hemisphere it’s winter time and bikes aren’t selling. There are loads of incredible deals for new bikes right now. You have to price according to the market.
I think the most logical thing to do would be to keep the bike you have, and spend some of the money to upgrade its weak points. Namely the wheels. If you spend say 6-700 dollars on a decent wheelset, youll save a bunch of money and have a higher performing bike.
