Price for Carrera bike s/h?

[CopperBolt]

Hi all

I got a bike via a cycle to work scheme from Halfords probably ten or more years ago. I think the bikes been used about 10 times and not for years now.
Its been hung on a bike rack in a garage since then. The wheels are off the floor.
Cant remember the specific name of it but it was about £200 new I think and was their Carrera own brand. Its a hybrid I believe they were called then(may still be)
Assuming I can clean it up, get some lube on the chain, pump the tyres up and they stay up and that the bike functions correctly, what might I get for it on gumtree? £40?

Thanks all.

Best bet is to take a look on eBay at similar bikes and check the completed listings to get an idea of what people are actually paying for them, rather than what people are asking.

At that price point advertise locally.

If it is in generally good serviceable condition, I would try £95. I have often advertised good condition bikes too cheaply to get rid of them. I think people are suspicious of a cheap price. Putting the price up often finds it selling. Done this quite a bit with kids bikes over the last 10 years as they keep bloody growing......

Sounds a plan. I'll need to get it down and clean it up see if any rust on the rims etc.

Thanks all

Have a look on Facebook Marketplace. Rideable Carreras are very common and around the £100 to£ 150 mark.
