Downhill bike value

I have a 2006 Specialized SX trail I should probably just sell. I cant find a whole lot on value .
id say its in good condition for a older bike that did what it was made for. I have to dig it out of storage tomorrow to put together a component list. Any ball park value guesses ? Its the OD green and black model size large.

For used bike values Craigslist is a good place for reference. A clean 15 year old bike with good tires and tuned condition might bring $150-$300. It would have to be in great shape to bring more and poor condition could be a hard sell.

Spot on, might get lucky and get a little more as the bike industry is pretty tapped out on material and parts. That cov19 thing put a damper on production.

I’ve looked online all over. Can’t find smothering similar for sale. Might just throw it up for sale and response might be helpful.might even be able to part out for more money. Thanks guys.

Did you try https://www.bicyclebluebook.com/ or the https://www.theproscloset.com/? They might be of some help determining a value.

The bike industry is experiencing shortages and people are asking crazy prices for used bikes so it's a good time to try and sell.

I did check the blue book site and found something fairly close. Thanks for the help everyone.

Ha. Just looked up my 1994 Mongoose Hilltopper. That sucker might be worth about a buck fifty ish.

That?s back before Mongoose became a Walmart bike.

Back in the 80's, a Diamondback Viper was pretty sweet, a Silver streak was badass. The cool kids had a Mongoose but when a kid showed up at the Vees* on a Hutch with tuffs? Everyone went "Oooooo".

*An offshoot ditch of the Highline Canal in Aurora. Center Hills golf course was there for a while- not sure what's there now. I heard the golf course was shut down.

Ahh yes, the Diamondback Viper. Circa early nineties, I would go to the local bike shop and drool over the Vipers, I wanted one so bad that I went out and got a paper route to save up enough money for a red Diamondback Viper, it was the most expensive thing I ever bought.

The chrome Mongoose was the shit back in my day. I didn't have one, unfortunately. I had some crappy Schwinn.

I later traded my Viper to my brother for his Chrome and blue Diamondback Assault, came out on top with that one, and always had the chrome shining, that?s when chrome was cool.
