How much is my mountain bike worth?

Question

I am looking to sell a 1998 GT STS mountain bike with Shimano XTS components (V-brakes, crank, front/rear gear shifters), GT hubs, mavic (218?) rims, and Manitou X-vert R front shocks, and Thompson seat post.

Answer 1

worth, worth. what a word!

Something is WORTH what someone else will pay for it.

And what are Shimano XTS components?

If it was never used it's worth more. But truly a 10 year old mountain bike ... take it to a bike shop and have them give you an honest assessment (including measuring the drivetrain and checking out the wear on the rims and the condition of all the bearing surfaces) and then use that to guage your "worth" amount.

Answer 2

Do you mean Shimano STX?

I agree that the bike isn't worth much... perhaps $50-75 if in really good shape.

Answer 3

Try e-bay or craigslist.    

I can't imagine a 10 year old bike would be worth much.  My 10 year old GT is retired to the trainer because its got way too many miles and way too much abuse to ride outside any more.
