What rock did you crawl out from under? You could strip the parts off of the bike and get $1000 for them. So you are telling me a brand new Yo frame is not worth crap?
No rock. Just saying what they go for around here. Old bikes are a fringe market whether we like it or not. I routinely see XTR equipped yos selling for $900 to $1100 and the ones that bring more money are typically the older ones with the cooler paint colors.
He probably could get a lot more if he parted it out. A NOS yo frame will sell in a heartbeat.
Heres an example for you. I just bought a NOS buck shaver on ebay in a gorgeous color (sapphire blue) for $395.
I prefer bucks because I like the less stiff ride but even if I was in the market for a yo I wouldn't pay more than $600-700 for one and then it better be team violet or aquafade or the like.
The fact of the matter is that the market recently has proven that $1500 bucks will get you a fat ti with high zoot kit. so I think a grand for a boring black yo with shimano is about right.
