Look up a bike you recently bought, or one you're thinking of buying or selling. Do the prices seem right?

In my experience, from the, I dunno, 10 or 12 bikes I've looked up so far, the prices seem a good bit *lower* than what I feel like they should be

2010 Major One : $335-$345 (Excellent Cond.) -- I was very pleased to pay $400

2010 Jake the Snake : $426-$439 (Excellent Cond.) -- A little low

2008 Surly 1x1 Frameset: $99-102 (Excellent Cond.) -- A little low

No info on my other bikes. From what I can tell, these prices look to be about right for person-to-person sale in a cheap market. Would not sell based on these prices in Seattle, but could be good haggling leverage for a buyer.

I'm not really impressed by BBB tried to sell my 2015 Kona Honky Tonk on CL for 900$ OBO (I know a little high) but all I got back from a buyer was a link from BBB (excellent condition) 556$-581$
...whatever
My take away is make sure YOU feel comfortable with what you're paying
