What should I ask? (price)

[stranger]

I have been thinking (aloud) about getting a new, more modern e-bike and today, when I mentioned this ambition to a friend of mine, she asked me how much I would want for the old one. (Once I have fixed the ignition barrel problem.)

It is a 2004 Powabyke Shopper complete with all it's trimmings. Hubby has loved and cherished it, so it is in tidy condition, and it had new batteries just before Christmas.

What would be a fair price do you think?

 

[Grumpy1]

£175 I would say.

 

[eddieo]

what are they new?

 

[stranger]

New they are £549 or £579. (theres a choice of frame sizes.)

 

[eddieo]

with new battery try.... £250?

but I don't know the bike and it is 4/5 years old

That was the amoiunt that sprang to mind I must admit.

I would say £212.34p to be precise, taking into account depreciation, battery consumption, the credit crunch and divide it by the colour of my underwear and that's what I make it.

Hi

That is so precise but what does pants have to do with the maths

thx

Bob

It's simple whowotwhere, the pants are like pie. You use pie to work out the measurements of a circle, you use pants to work out value of an electrically assisted bicycle. It's like algeabra.

And I could offer a 'discount' of the odd pants

--er--I mean pence.
