I've so far put my 2010 Orange ST4 Pro up on
-eBay as a buy it now with offers
- pinkbike.com
- gumtree

Its been up nearly a week and I've had some interest, it's priced at £1000 as its fully loaded with kit. I'm wondering if anyone can advise on other sites to advertise on. Am i just being a little impatient hoping that someone will already have shown major interest in it and not just offered a slightly insulting sum.

It makes me laugh really as the kind of enquiries I've mostly had so far have been along the lines of "what the lowest price u r want for it". Is it just me!

Jimbo.

Don't wish to offend, but on ebay at least, there are some pretty dim buyers and some chancers. It may well be that your upgrades (and their value) are meaningless to the pool of buyers on there. Alternatively it may be that upgrades don't increase used values (much like the way optional extras on a car don't get their cost back on resale). There's another 2010 Pro on there with a starting price of £850 - as yet no bids, so you may have to suck it up and accept that ebay won't reach the right audience for you, or accept that the bike, at £1000, is priced too high for the current market?
