UKC

I thought I would turn to the UKC massive for some advice ...

What would be a fair price for a secondhand Beta AR?

In reply to andrew_b_1975:
Are you buying or selling?

Brand new (proshell version), unused, perfect condition, probably get £180 + postage.

3 year old, well used, maybe £80

All depends on age and condition!

In reply to andrew_b_1975:

about £1 and preferably sold to me

seriously though, its highly dependent on what condition it's in:

pretty much new - under £250
Used a few times and not washed - under £200
Washed and well used - under £150

I based this on the retail of £300 but if you can find it cheaper you can adjust accordingly. Generally I would say that even if the jacket is new you should be able to take about 25% off the RRP. Having said this I got a shiny new Haglofs spitz jacket when it was new second hand for £150 (50% off).

If your haggling start well below what you want to pay for it.

Happy bartering

I'm thinking about selling mine as I am spending more time on my road bike and could do with some decent cycle gear.

The jacket was purchased in January this year, is the fastest of all colour (red).

I may stick it on a Premier Post and see how it goes.
