I give you Frog bikes.

Wee Nobeerette is needing to move up to the bigger size, Frog 73. I reckon going by sale prices it's gonna cost me about 20 quid!.

Bought new for 260, they sell for that used!

Same with Islabikes, as long as they're in pretty good nick. Think we sold one for more than we paid for it, as the price of new had gone up so much...

generally I'd agree but its still a fickle market so don't yer chickens etc.. I sold a Cnoc 14 a few months ago for a few quid more than I paid for it but a friend has just sold a newer one for less

I bought a second hand decathlon balance bike for 15 quid, I think I can probably sell it for 20...

Best resale I ever had on a bike was a trek mt220 kids bike. Bought it little used for £80 , our lad used it for a year and we sold it for £140!

I bought a Specialized crosstrail 2018 for 150 sold for 400+p&p but this was just sheer luck, the guy was moving back to Florida. but I think Specialized bike hold values better than most like a BMW badge.

Our frogs are hardly worth even putting up for sale, they've all been used and show the scars.

Other than the 57 road / cross bike, but I might as well keep that as it'll fit one of the other two at some point

How does pulling a kids Kona out the tip and selling for £85 having put new cables on it catch you...

Our Islabikes Beinn 26 also cost us about £50 for three kids use over 5-6 years. Amazing.
