Trying to sell this beast but so far no takers.... where should i pitch this pricewise?

Is that damage on the stanchion? £750?
Well out I'd say, £7-800 for the full bike.
Probably better splitting it up.
Half it, so probably/possibly get more if you split it.
Way out in my, wholly uneducated, opinion. £1300 for a 7 year old freeride bike with good but old suspension and Deore finishing kit is way OTT.
Half the price and you'll be closer to the mark I think.
ok thanks all.... blimey the power of depreciation, may well just keep it at that price! (just a bit of dust on the stanchion, not damaged)

Including a pic of just one stanchion makes it look as if there is some damage and you're trying to be up front and show it!

26" straight steerer
not quite a DH bike
Not the best trail bike
Average kit (sorry)
and 6 years old so probably coming up for some weld problems
I'd be splitting
the refection of the arch?
yeah overpriced split and sell, more of a ball ache but you "should get more"
I would be tempted to buy a cheap used single crown fork for £100 and sell the bike complete for £500 as a freeride bike. Sell the 40's for £350-450.
Try selling the 40's on their own and if they go for a good price, do what I suggest?

Can't see the logic, adding a cheap fork won't increase the price that much and it's a gamble. Split. sell and add to the parts/spares box
Split and sell it.
I don't think there much demand for that kind of bike these days. People either want enduro type bikes or proper DH bikes.
When I was looking for a new DH bike after mine got nicked for £1,200 or so there were some absolute bargains (Demo's, Wilson's etc)
i'd split. And give it a good clean.

I am bemused by this often with bike adverts. Why wouldn't you get a wet sponge and some soap on it for sale, just clean the crap out of it. People are spending the pointy end of £1000 and want to feel like they're getting your pride and joy, the bike you love, the bike you've cherished for years. They don't want to think they're buying something that's been abandoned after each ride and left to rust up the bearings/hubs/whatever...
20 mins with a bit of cleaning product and you'll have what's a much better bike.... then some nice pics, in focus this time...
Split and put on ebay.
You won't get over £300 for the 40's not at that age
I would single crown it and fit black bars

I think he meant what looks like a horizontal scratch about halfway up.

What Weeksy said. For stuff that folks are trying to get top dollar,it turns me off when people don't even make the effort to take the evidence of the last ride.
£500 to £600 at best. I had a 'mare trying to sell off my 26" nukeproof and had to split it. Someone may snap it up as an "alps bargain" for £600 but better/quicker to split
