American Vintage Bicycle Supply
Double Nickle
Trying to work a deal on this cycle truck. What's it worth as is?
I would do $400 tops if I were buying it for myself.
looneymatthew;321771 said:in a strong market. its pretty complete/ prewar
but looks to have been possibly repainted . some bumbs/dents. but still pretty complete 1000.00 to 1500.00 range.
the basket was the deal maker. but now with almost perfect repop baskets on the market. hard to tell the difference. the market has gone side ways. still has all the good prewar parts though. ... AS long stem gooseneck// dropcenters// fenders // basket
. they seem to be comeing in waves. the best ones// or ones that comand the highest price are complete unmolested orig. paint .and finish. ive been watching the CT world for the last several years fairly closeley. this is just based on my observations.
the numbers i specified are retail numbers . and they always vary based on condition/appeal .
a good purchase price would be in the 500- 800 range as a start. if you have to have it you can always come up to the retail end of the nscale. unfortunately like all sought after bikes its worth more in parts. sadly////
GOOD LUCK IN YOUR DEALINGS

I think it's funny how everyone approaches this from a "how much would I pay for it" standpoint, rather than asking themselves "how much would I try to sell it for?"
I suspect that much of the vintage bike buying/selling game is flippers buying from, and selling to, other flippers. Thus, creating the illusion of demand, and the reality of higher prices to go along with it.
