bikes on eBay based upon his belief that having a bike provided to him at
special dealers discount makes him an expert on value?

Not read said thread as I generally skip the arguments, the value will be
what ever it sells for as and when you do.
That's quite true Roger and I've already turned down offers well above that moronic pricing of Scharf who insists on being ignorant of every part of the world around him.

I sold a couple of bikes just before Covid19 and I discovered that it is hard to sell a bike via the Dutch craiglist for a reasonable price if it doesn't have disc brakes, if not CF and for a ATB also is not 29". I think your bike would go for around 1500-200- euro over here. I tried to sell this bike:

I got offers for around 500-600 euro because it was 6 years old at that time, aluminum frame and no disk brakes. No one cares about the pristine condition and that it had quality parts and weighs 7.5 kg including pedals. I turned them all down. Fortunately a son of a colleague was looking for a bike and that colleague knows how I take care of my stuff and was able to sell the bike for 975 euro with another (cheaper) saddle and one water bottle cage (King Cage).
