As the original owner of a '98 YO, and someone who regularly tracks FAT sales on ebay, I am very impressed with the resale value of FATs.
I've seen used YOs sell for almost as much as I paid for mine right out of the box. Even quite old, one-inch headset FATs sell for much more than comparable Specializeds, Treks, Fishers, etc.
I bid over 700 bones on a one-inch Ti YO and was outbid. I saw a XT/XTR built, new-old stock YO listed for over 4,000 bucks. (I don't think the reserve was ever met).
Frames with zero warranty selling for more than new frames with a warranty...pretty damn impressive.
