How much is my 5000 worth??

[nathan ross]

I was a loyal K2 rider for the past several years, but just bought a new dakar XLT and need to get rid of a bike or two.  I have a 98 k2 5000 that has been ridden hard but is still in good shape.  I bought the frame and built it myself, so no components are stock.  Just a quick summary, the frame is large, has a manitou black elite 100/120 fork, a stratos helix rear shock (about 6" of travel), SRAM 9.0SL drivetrain, xt brakes, xt hubs on rhino lites, truvativ stylo cranks, etc.  Pretty much all of the parts are around a year old.  The bike rides awesome and is actually pretty light.  Any one have any idea how much I could get for it (or is anyone interested??, make me an offer!)  I'd really like to sell it to someone who appreciates the proflex bikes.

It would probably be in the $500-$600 range on ebay.  I am not sure because I don't really follow the market value of these bikes, but that would be a ballpark number...

It is usually better to part out a bike if you want to get the most money.
